Özet:This thesis presents a robust face recognition method and a combination of methods for gender identification and age group classification for semantic annotation of videos. Local binary pattern histogram which has 256 bins and pixel intensity differences are used as extracted facial features for gender classification. DCT Mod2 features and edge detection results around facial landmarks are used as extracted facial features for age group classification. In gender classification module, a Random Trees classifier is trained with LBP features and an adaboost classifier is trained with pixel intensity differences. DCT Mod2 features are used for training of a Random Trees classifier and LBP features around facial landmark points are used for training another Random Trees classifier in age group classification module. DCT Mod2 features of the detected faces morped by two dimensional face morphing method based on Active Appearance Model and Barycentric Coordinates are used as the inputs of the nearest neighbor classifier with weights obtained from the trained Random Forest classifier in face identification module. Different feature extraction methods are tried and compared and the best achievements in the face recognition module to be used in the method chosen. We compared our classification results with some successful earlier works results in our experiments performed with same datasets and got satisfactory results.
