Human Face Detection and Tracking for Age Rank, Weight and Gender Estimation based on Face Images using Raspberry Pi Processor

This paper describes the technique for real time human face detection and tracking for age rank, weight and gender estimation. Face detection is involved with finding whether there are any faces in a given image and if there are any faces present, track the face and returns the face region with features of each face. Here it describes a simple and convenient hardware implementation of face detection method using Raspberry Pi Processor, which itself is a minicomputer of a credit card size. This paper presents a cost-sensitive ordinal hyperplanes ranking algorithm for human age evaluation based on face images. Two main components for building an efficient age estimator are facial feature extraction and estimator learning. Using feature extraction and comparing with our input database in which we have different age group face images with weight is specified according to that we also specify weight category i.e. under weight, normal weight and overweight . In this article we present gender estimation technique, which effectively integrates the head as well as mouth motion information with facial appearance by taking advantage of a unified probabilistic framework. Facial appearance as well as head and mouth motion possess a potentially relevant discriminatory power, and that the integration of different sources of biometric data from video sequences is the key approach to develop more precise and reliable realization systems.
