About this program

This program is meant to classify the race of facial images between asian and non-asian. Here is some methods that I implement:

Face Detection

• OpenCV's Haar casecade detection.

Image Enhancements

1. OpenCV's Histogram Equalization.
2. (More enhancements suggestions are welcome)

Feature extraction

• Fisherface. This is basically a combination of sklearn's Principal Component Analysis and sklearn's Linear Discriminant Analysis.

Classifier

• Sklearn's K-Nearest Neighbors

Requirements

• OpenCV
• Numpy
• Sklearn

How to use this?

In order to use this program, you need to download the FairFace dataset.

• run preprocessing.py
• run equalization.py
• run main.py
