Age, gender classification is understandably very challenging! Just Google [ microsoft age gender accuracy] ...

While the script works, (unless I'm doing something horribly wrong) the age / gender classifications are truly terrible! :-(

With a different version of the code, above, I've tried / compared:

* raw (unscaled) images

* [96x96] aligned / cropped faces from those images, using the Dlib script
  (.../openface/util/align-dlib.py) provided in my OpenFace install; and

* the Dlib code snippet above (larger images: cropped faces)

... all these images (source; two different crops) give different results -- really, no apparent correlation with one another or ground truth! :-(

Ground truth:

* Victoria: female (transsexual), age 55
* Carmine: female, age 42
Age, gender predictions: uncropped vs cropped [96x96] images
