AI Based Identification of Gender from Images Based on Facial Features using CNN and OPENCV

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to classify the gender based on different facial features such as eyes, nose, mouth, overall features such as face contour, head shape, hair line etc. The gender classification algorithm uses machine learning technique (supervised learning). In this case the algorithm is trained on a set of male and female faces and then used to classify new data. In this paper, face detection and gender classification methods are combined. The face detection acts as a pre- processing operation to the gender classifier that determines the gender. There are multiple methods in which facial recognition systems work, but in general, they work by comparing selected facial features from a given image with faces within a database. It is also described as a Biometric Artificial Intelligence based application that can uniquely identify a person by analyzing patterns based on the person's facial textures and shape. Automated gender recognition plays an important role in many application areas such as human computer interaction, biometric, surveillance, demographic statistics etc. Existing systems has a disadvantage in accuracy. Though there are many algorithms in Present system are being developed and implemented to achieve accuracy in identifying gender the results arestill unsatisfactory. Proposed system has an advantage of accuracy. The accuracy achieved in this system is impressive compared to the existing system. CNN algorithm gives better accuracy compared to other algorithms
