Abstract

Gender classification has attracted a lot of attention in computer vision and pattern recognition. In this paper, we propose a gender classification method. First, we present a robust profile extraction algorithm; Second, we implement Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and Independent Components Analysis (ICA) to extract discriminative features from profile to estimate the face gender via SVM. Our experimental results on Bosphorus 3D face database show that our proposed method works well.
