Age and Gender Detector from a Photo (Computer Vision)
An experiment with detecting age and gender from photos. A fun way to learn computer vision.
About the project
Purely out of curiosity: does detecting age and gender from a photo even work? The answer is "pretty much". In some fifteen minutes I got hands-on with computer vision and had a toy that's fun to mess with.
An app where the journey was the point. It has no business value and doesn't pretend to, it's here because I learned something from it and enjoyed it. Exactly the kind of small project that makes sense because the investment is minimal.
Why I built it
- Out of curiosity: can AI tell age from a photo?
- In 15 minutes I got hands-on with computer vision.
- The journey was the point, no business plan.
How it works (under the hood)
- Python + Flask, InsightFace via ONNX Runtime.
- Upload a photo, it estimates age and gender.
