Abstract :
We developed extraction functions of a face candidate region with color information and parts of its face and combined them with the gender and age estimation algorithm we had already developed so that the algorithm can be applied to real time captured face images. The experimental results have shown hitting ratios of 93.1% and 58.4% for gender and age respectively.
