Description
Summary:The system allowing to extract all the possible information about depicted people from the input video stream is discussed. As reported previously, the proposed system consists of five consecutive stages: face detection, face tracking, gender recognition, age classification and statistics analysis. The crucial part of the system is gender classifier construction on the basis of machine learning methods. We propose a novel algorithm consisting of two stages: adaptive feature extraction and support vector machine classification. Both training technique of the proposed algorithm and experimental results acquired on a large image dataset are presented. More than 90% accuracy of viewer's gender recognition is achieved.
