gender identification

Early automatic face gender recognition systems were limited by immature face detection technology. In recent years, as face detection technology has gradually matured, gender recognition has also begun to receive attention and can be applied in advertising and surveillance fields.

Face gender recognition systems can be applied in many real-life situations:

Access control systems in gender-restricted places such as restrooms, changing rooms, dormitories, and nursing rooms. If access control systems can restrict based on gender, it can ensure the safety of specific genders.

Advertising billboards in stores or exhibitions. Since there are various types of advertisements, if the correct audience does not receive a specific gender advertisement, it will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the ad. Therefore, at the end of a promotion, face gender recognition can be used to determine the majority of the gender of the current audience, and decide on the type of advertisement to play next, significantly increasing the advertisement's effectiveness. This technology can also be used during the advertisement to determine the ratio of which gender is watching the most.

Statistics on the ratio of specific genders appearing in particular places, this population information can be used as a basis for market research and market analysis, for example, the ratio of women appearing in certain stores or the ratio of men appearing in certain locations.

Image retrieval in internet search engines. There is a vast number of images on the internet, so it is impossible to use manual selection. If this technology is used, it can retrieve images of males or females.
