to Open Source Biometric Recognition

I installed OpenBR and try to enroll some of my images (for example on this: https://scontent-amt2-1.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-19/11899492_1651222925128828_902341705_a.jpg) and it recognise me as 45 years old female.

I tried to execute downloadDatasets.sh file and it's failed on some mkdir commands. (The error was it was trying to build a folder that parent folder doesn't exist) even i fixed them and try to run the estimation nothing changed.

Then i tried to execute helloWorld.sh but it's failed on this command and after:

br -algorithm Eigenfaces -path ../data/MEDS/img -compare ../data/MEDS/sigset/MEDS_frontal_target.xml ../data/MEDS/sigset/MEDS_frontal_query.xml scores.mtx

because there's no sigset for MEDS dataset. i don't know how to generate it. I already research google to find it and the only place that i found a related meta data on https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/multiple-encounter-dataset-meds-ii-nist-special-database-32/resource/e7c09c3a-726e-4945-8bfc-8fa196b4166e however there's no sigset for that.

Then i tried to run

evalAgeRegression-PCSO.sh

however it's failed too because i don't have PCSO database. After my research about it i learnt that it's not a public database that i can retrieve.

So, can someone please guide me for how to train OpenBR especially for age and gender estimation? Also it would be good if there's some explanation in the documentation which is telling about which scripts making of what in the scripts folder.
