I am new here .Working on OpenCV in Face Recognition.I have developed
a application, what it does is, It will get input image from user and
detect the face. If the input image has face then it will search my
database and shows look-alike images to user. My database has both
gender images(male and female).It is working fine.In this application
i have a issue.

1).when user give male input image it will search and show both male
and female images in the result.but i don't want to both,When user
give male input, after searching the database i want to show the input
gender only as look-alike result.what i want to do is before search
the database, I want to know input image is male or female.  Is there
any way to achieve this using openCV? Or Is there any other way to
achieve this?. If no, What is the solution for this problem? Please
give me a suggestion.

Thanks for your time.

All works in this field use supervised learning and classifcation like SVM,
decision trees, Neural Network, boosting, ...
There is a pleinty of litterature in this field. here after 2 most recent
ones which cite other ones:
- J. Wu, W. A. P. Smith, E. R. Hancock, "Gender Classification based on
Facial Surface Normals", the 19th International Conference on Pattern
Recognition, Florida, USA, 2008.
- Z. Xu, L. Lu, P. Shi, "*A Hybrid Approach to Gender Classification from
Face Images*", the 19th International Conference on Pattern Recognition,
Florida, USA, 2008.
