Abstract / Introduction
We propose a Desktop based Gender and Age Detection software system. It will use deep learning to
accurately identify Gender and Age from a single image. The project aims to develop a computer vision-
based system that can detect the gender and approximate age of individuals from images. OpenCV, a
popular open-source computer vision library, will be used to process and analyze the images. The
system will employ deep learning techniques to accomplish gender and age detection.
Project Components:
1. Data Collection: Gather a diverse dataset of images with labeled gender and age information.
2. Data Preprocessing: Prepare and clean the dataset by resizing images, normalizing pixel values,
and organizing the data for training and testing. Arrange dataset according into the age groups.
For example, (0-2), (3-6), and (7-10) etc.

classification
3. Model Selection: Choose a deep learning model for gender and age detection. Popular choices
include Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), pre-trained models like VGGFace, or custom
architectures.

4. Model Training: Train the selected model using the preprocessed dataset. Fine-tuning on a pre-
trained model can significantly improve accuracy.
5. Model Evaluation: Evaluate the model's performance using metrics such as accuracy and
precision. Fine-tune the model to achieve the desired level of accuracy.
6. Real-time Detection: Implement a real-time detection pipeline using OpenCV to upload a image
from and apply the trained model for gender and age detection.
7. User Interface: Create a user-friendly interface.
8. Deployment: Deploy the system on desktop.
9. Testing and Validation: Conduct thorough testing on various datasets and in real-world
scenarios to ensure the system's accuracy and reliability.
Technologies and Tools:
Python
OpenCV
