Abstract
Ethnic conflicts frequently lead to violations of human rights, such as genocide and crimes against humanity, as well as economic collapse, governmental failure, environmental problems, and massive influxes of refugees. Many innocent people suffer as a result of violent ethnic conflict. People’s ethnicity can pose a threat to their safety. There have been many studies on the topic of how to categorize people by race. Until recently, the majority of the work on face biometrics had been conducted on the problem of person recognition from a photograph. However, other softer biometrics such as a person’s age, gender, race, or emotional state are also crucial. The subject of ethnic classification has many potential uses and is developing rapidly. This study summarizes recent advances in ethnicity categorization by utilizing efficient models of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and focusing on the central portion of the face alone. This article contrasts the results of two distinct CNN models. To put the suggested models through their paces, the study employed holdout testing on the MORPH and FERET datasets. It is essential to remember that this study’s results were generated by focusing on the face’s central region alone, which saved both time and effort. Classification into four classes was achieved with an accuracy of 85% using Model A and 86% using Model B. Consequently, classifying people according to their ethnicity as a fundamental part of the video surveillance systems used at checkpoints is an excellent concept. This categorization statement may also be helpful for picture-search queries.
