Differentiate between faces of men and women

Question

I need to make an app that tells if the only face in a certain picture is that of a man or a woman It would be better if it was done using python. Any suggestions are welcome

Answer 1

I think this will solve your problem. Gender detection is what you need to do. Recently I have done gender detection using the below link and got a decent accuracy. Follow the link step by step.

http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/modules/contrib/doc/facerec/tutorial/facerec_gender_classification.html

And there is a C++ code in the above link for Face-recognizer which does this. You can get the equivalent python API's in opencv documentation.

This SO Answer has few more links and information.
