A facial image may be annotated with the plurality of facial landmarks. These facial landmarks may be points or regions of the face that are indicative, either alone or in combination with other facial landmarks, of at least one demographic characteristic. Demographic characteristics include, for example, age, race, and/or gender. Based on the demographic characteristic being analyzed, one or more of these facial landmarks may be selected and arranged into an input vector. Then, the input vector may be compared to one or more of the training vectors. An outcome of this comparison may involve in the given facial image being classified into a category germane to the analyzed demographic characteristic (e.g., an age range or age, a racial category, and/or a gender). |
