Feature request : Ethnicity Recognition

[swati-sharma14]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The problem is that the current Face-X repository does not have a module for ethnicity recognition. Adding an ethnicity recognition feature would enhance the capabilities of the repository and enable it to identify the ethnicity or race of a person based on their facial characteristics.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to add an ethnicity recognition module to the Face-X repository. This module should be able to analyze the facial features of a person and accurately determine their ethnicity or race. It should work with images or videos as input and provide the predicted ethnicity as output.

Describe alternatives you've considered An alternative solution would be to rely on external APIs or libraries that offer pre-trained models for ethnicity recognition. However, implementing the ethnicity recognition module directly within the Face-X repository would provide more control and flexibility in terms of customization, integration with other features, and potential improvements.

Approach to be followed (optional) One possible approach to implementing ethnicity recognition is by training a deep learning model using diverse datasets that represent different ethnic groups. The model should be trained on labeled images with ethnicity annotations. Popular deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch can be used for model development and training. Data preprocessing techniques, such as face alignment and normalization, may also be applied to improve the accuracy of the model.

The trained model can then be integrated into the Face-X repository, allowing users to utilize the ethnicity recognition feature by providing an image or video as input. The module should process the input and provide the predicted ethnicity as an output, which could be displayed or used for further analysis.
