Abstract:

We carried a study of comparison for the gender classification methods for finding their pros and cons. The main primary contributions are comparable and comprehensive results for the classification of gender methods and combined with real-time automatic detection of face. Our research is focus on highlighting the limitations and strengths of different gender classification techniques by taking an overview of some major problems. Several areas of future research have been presented in this paper.
