This paper presents a novel method for solving face gender recognition problem. This method employs 2D Principal Component Analysis, one of the prominent methods for extracting feature vectors, and Support Vector Machine, the most powerful discriminative method for classification. Experiments for the proposed approach have been conducted on FERET data set and the results show that the proposed method could improve the classification rates.
