Abstract(in English) We propose a technique for the estimation of gender and age-group from a low-resolution face image. In the proposed method, we adopt Principal-Component-Analysis-based feature extraction and Gaussian-Mixture-Mode-based likelihood calculation. As for the gender estimation, we compared three types of methods: first one is to use the likelihood calculated from the whole face image, second one is to combine the likelihood from the partial face image and that from the hair image, and third one is to combine them using the Dempster-Shafer theory. Experimental results show the slight superiority of the Dempster-Shafer-based combination method. As for the age-group estimation, we tried classification of three age-groups and got about 70% identification rate. We also applied our algorithms to the movies captured in a convenience store. Experimental results show that our algorithm works well also in the real environment.
