Lion/Lioness Gender Recognition

A Lion’s facial structure provides important features about its gender. This project presents an approach for gender detection from images considering facial structure as a region of interest. At the end of the project the system should be able to automatically detect the gender of a lion based on collected data. The project can potentially be expanded to cover a wider range of animals that can be used to keep record and prevent the extinction of protected species.
