This paper presents a method based on AdaBoost to identify the sex of a person from a low resolution grayscale picture of their face. The method described here is implemented in a...
Using handwritten characters we address two questions (i) what is the group identification performance of different alphabets (upper and lower case) and (ii) what are the best cha...
