Abstract

In this paper, a component-based gender classification based on hair and facial geometrical features are presented. By way of these preprocessing, hair and facial geometry features can then be extracted automatically from the face images. We compare hair detection methods by examining their color and texture features, and also analyze some geometrical features from references. The best performance of 87.15% in gender classification rate is achieved by combining the most significant hair and geometrical features which is better than some of the literature before.
