Age and Gender Prediction

Age and Gender Predictor

Update from old repo

Environment Setup

Docker with GPU support

• Get docker and nvidia-docker
• Pull my docker image by docker pull dandynaufaldi/tf-keras-cuda9-cudnn7, the Dockerfile will come in future

Manually

Using python 3.5, core libraries are :

• dlib
• tensorflow
• keras
• opencv
• mxnet

Datasets

Datasets are saved in data/ directory

• IMDB-Wiki
• Adience
• UTKFace
• FGNET

Age Distribution

Preprocess (for training)

For complete instruction, check on data/ directory

• For IMDB and Wiki dataset remove any unsual data from its .mat file with following characteristics:
  • Age is below 0 and above 100
  • Face score is NaN
  • Second face score is exist
  • Missing gender label
• Manual cleansing on IMDB-Wiki data with age 0-20 using tools
• Detect and align face using dlib with margin 0.4 (following [1] margin size)
• Remove image which has no face detected or the face is unclear so it's not detected
• Data normalization following each model requirement (in model's prep_image method)

Model

Here we use 3 model

InceptionV3 and MobileNetV2

We use InceptionV3 and MobileNetV2 from keras-application without it's classifier output and modify it to have 2 output layer. One for gender prediction with 2 nodes and another for age prediction with 101 nodes (represent age 0-100). We treat age prediction as multiclass classification problem with it's output calculated from softmax regression as in [1] reference

SSR-Net

We follow default SSR-Net architecture with some modification. At the top we have 1 classifier block which then feed into 2 classifier block. In SSR-Net, we treat prediction as regression problem for both age and gender

Train

For InceptionV3 and MobileNetV2 we used pretrained weight from keras-application which was trained on ImageNet dataset. So, we do transfer learning on InceptionV3 and MobileNetV2. And, training from scratch on SSR-Net Training was done in AWS P3 instance with Nvidia Tesla V100 with 10 fold cross-validation and 50 epoch each to check for model consistency and get weight file with best metrics For each model, following input size is used:

• InceptionV3 : 140 x 140 px
• MobileNetV2 : 96 x 96 px
• SSR-Net : 64 x 64 px Here is the training history

Evaluation

For model performance evaluation, we use UTKFace and FGNET dataset. Here we also try age and gender model from InsightFace project which was build on ResNet50 architecture. We also crawl some Indonesian artist faces from wikipedia with total of 51 validated images Here is the result (model in top position hold the best score)

Demo Video Stream

Use stream.py to try the models. SORT tracker is integrated to add age and gender prediction smoothing for prediction result Usage :

usage: video.py [-h] [-s SRC]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  -s SRC, --src SRC  Video stream source, default will be webcam (0)
