Gender-and-Age-Detection

Objective :

To build a gender and age detector that can approximately guess the gender and age of the person (face) in a picture or through webcam.

Additional Python Libraries Required :

• OpenCV

   pip install opencv-python

• argparse

   pip install argparse

The contents of this Project :

• opencv_face_detector.pbtxt
• opencv_face_detector_uint8.pb
• age_deploy.prototxt
• age_net.caffemodel
• gender_deploy.prototxt
• gender_net.caffemodel
• a few pictures to try the project on
• detect.py

For face detection, we have a .pb file- this is a protobuf file (protocol buffer); it holds the graph definition and the trained weights of the model. We can use this to run the trained model. And while a .pb file holds the protobuf in binary format, one with the .pbtxt extension holds it in text format. These are TensorFlow files. For age and gender, the .prototxt files describe the network configuration and the .caffemodel file defines the internal states of the parameters of the layers.

Usage :

• Download my Repository
• Open your Command Prompt or Terminal and change directory to the folder where all the files are present.
• Detecting Gender and Age of face in Image Use Command :

  python detect.py --image <image_name>

Note: The Image should be present in same folder where all the files are present

• Detecting Gender and Age of face through webcam Use Command :

  python detect.py

• Press Ctrl + C to stop the program execution.
