Agender Project
This is a small demo project to try and test OpenCV library and also implement on-the-fly face detection, age and gender estimation using pre-trained models.
In this work I studied 12 existing projects for age and gender estimation. I have discovered that there are a lot of good models with high accuracy, that are yet too big and slow to compute.
On the other hand there are some small models with lower accuracy, that could be used for real-time video processing.
I have successfully used two such models for real-time estimation of age and gender using only average CPU:
- SSR-Net by Tsun-Yi Yang, Yi-Hsuan Huang, Yen-Yu Lin, Pi-Cheng Hsiu, Yung-Yu Chuang.
- ConvNet by Gil Levi and Tal Hassner.
I achieved some decent results.
