Feature level vs. score level fusion

MEG: Texture operators for multi-expert gender classification

In this paper we focus on gender classification from face images. Despite advances in equipment as well as methods, automatic face image processing for recognition or even just for the extraction of demographics, is still a challenging task in unrestricted scenarios. Our tests are aimed at carrying out an extensive comparison of a feature based approach with two score based ones. When directly using features, we first apply different operators to extract the corresponding feature vectors, and then stack such vectors. These are classified by a SVM-based approach.
