Face Gender Classification on Consumer Images in a Multiethnic Environment

In this paper, we target at face gender classification on consumer images in a multiethnic environment. The consumer images are much more challenging, since the faces captured in the real situation vary in pose, illumination and expression in a much larger extent than that captured in the constrained environments such as the case of snapshot images. To overcome the nonuniformity, a robust Activ...

Distance weighted discrimination of face images for gender classification

We illustrate the advantages of distance weighted discrimination for classification and feature extraction in a High Dimension Low Sample Size (HDLSS) situation. The HDLSS context is a gender classification problem of face images in which the dimension of the data is several orders of magnitude larger than the sample size. We compare distance weighted discrimination with Fisher’s linear discrim...

Gender Classification from Face Images Using Mutual Information and Feature Fusion

In this article we report a new method for gender classification from frontal face images using feature selection based on mutual information and fusion of features extracted from intensity, shape, texture, and from three different spatial scales. We compare the results of three different mutual information measures: minimum redundancy and maximal relevance (mRMR), normalized mutual information...

MEG: Multi-Expert Gender Classification from Face Images in a Demographics-Balanced Dataset

In this paper we focus on gender classification from face images, which is still a challenging task in unrestricted scenarios. This task can be useful in a number of ways, e.g., as a preliminary step in biometric identity recognition supported by demographic information. We compare a feature based approach with two score based ones. In the former, we stack a number of feature vectors obtained b...
