Abstract(in English) Male and female recognition is necessary when various statistics on the visitor are taken in commercial facilities and so on. The conventional method of male and female distinction is currently determined by using the person's appearance, the person's dress and in such cases, the way of walking, the foot pressure, the hair type. But, these characteristics can be intentionally changed by human intervention or design. The proposed method used the human face as influenced by gender characteristics of male and female. The new concept idea of the near infrared image was used resulting in a recognition rate of 92.9% for the gender. Moreover, the method established a biometrics method using the value of two body parts, that is, the face and the hair. In the future, the method used will make improvements in the recognition rate by using additional different combinations.
