IV. LIBRARISE USED V. FLOWCHART
• Opencv
OpenCV, which stands for "open source computer
vision," is a computer vision and machine learning library that
is free and open source. This library is primarily used for real-
time image and video processing, as well as for business
analytics. Additionally, it supports a variety of Deeo learning
frameworks, including Cafe and TenseFlow. Due to the
structure of Opencv, numerous shared or static libraries are
included in the package.
• Tensorflow
Google developed and made available the Python library
TensorFlow, which is used for quick numerical computation.
It is a foundation library and is primarily used to directly create
deep learning models, occasionally using wrapper libraries to
make the process that is built on top of tensorFlow more
straightforward.
• Keras
In essence, Keras is a high-level Application
Programming Interface (API) of Tensorflow; it offers the
fundamental building blocks and abstractions required for the
creation and delivery of machine learning solutions coupled
with a very high iteration rate. Without Keras, it would not
have been feasible to fully utilise Tensorflow's scalability or
its cross-platform capabilities. Keras supports engineers and
researchers and encourages users to do so. You may export the
Keras models to run in Google Chrome or any other browser
on any smartphone or mobile device, as well as on a sizable
cluster of GPUs or TPU.
• Math
Almost all programmes that require mathematical
functions use this library, which is the most basic one. Access Fig 1: System workflow

Complex numbers cannot be used with this module's Here, the preexisting model known as opencv face
functions since there is no support for them. Another module detector.pbtxt is used to construct the function highlightface(),
called "cmath" helps offer the support for all the complex which will receive the image from the data set or can take the

that. This distinction was made since the majority of the image. First, the model is used to identify the face's width

variety of photographs that they had amassed themselves and
stored in their own database. According to the level of
properties like brightness, profile, and saturation, those images
are totally different. In order to use the image for detection,
the function blobfomimage() strips the image of all variables
and additional factors, converting it into this minimal format.

VII. IMPLEMENTATION facehighlight() function is called with face detection
network configuration (facenet) and frame as parameters and
the output is stored in variables resultimg and faceboxes.
If the network does not recognise any face then
faceboxes list would be empty and hence a message is
displayed saying "no face detected".
These libraries, which were explained earlier in the
section on how to use libraries, have been imported. Imshow is used to display the result.
VIII. RESULT
The highlight face function that we created is this. In
order to successfully carry out this operation, the network and
the frame images are used as the parameters.
1. A copy of the framework is generated in order to face the
facial dimensions.
2. By using blobefromimages, the copies were transformed
into blobes.
3. After setting the input, the network receives a forward pass.
4. The confidence is defined in the range 0-1 for each value in
0 to 127 for the empty list face Boxes. Coordinates x1, y1, x2,
y2 are obtained when the confidence beats the threshold of
0.7(as defined in the parameter).
5. The coordinates are appended to the list faceBoxes.
6. Each list of coordinates in the faceBoxes accounts for the
rectangles on the image.
7. The function returns the copy of frame as well as list of
faceBoxes. Fig 01. Image test 1
VideoCapture() function from openCV library is used to
read the image. It either gets the image from argument parser
or else it will get a live image using the webcam i.e.
VideoCapture(0) by setting padding value as 20.
Now a while loop is used to continuously read the image
until any key is pressed. Live Stream from webcam is read and
then stored in hasframe and frame. A waitkey is again called
followed with break. This is when it is not a live video and an
image is read from argparse. Fig 02. Image test 2

IX. CONCLUSION
In order to reliably identify the gender and age range of
a person from a single image of their face, deep learning and
convolutional neural networks will be used in this Prototype
moving forward. The image might be a part of a certain
dataset, it might be parsed once through the prototype, or it
might even be real-time if no arguments are parsed. The
expected age may fall within one of the following ranges, and
the predicted gender is binary, falling into the categories of
"Male" and "Female" (0-2). (4- 6). (8-12). (15-20), (21-24),
(25-32), (38-43), (48-53), (60-100).
