Photonics Recently in Malaysia, digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising is getting common. It is a marketing tool to promote the branding of a product or service in the high population flow area. The existing DOOH advertising in Malaysia only broadcast the advertisement in a continuous and random manner without considering the presence of the audience. This causes the audience most likely to perceive some irrelevant advertisements. The recent advances of facial analysis unlock the potential of the DOOH media towards the targeted advertising manner. Therefore, the DOOH media is able to deliver a customised advertisement based on the facial attributes of the audience. However, the DOOH media is commonly operating in an uncontrolled environment. In such an environment, facial analysis faces two main challenges which are blurry faces and misaligned faces. These challenges are noises that increase the difficulty in feature extraction. In this thesis, meFusion, a handcrafted feature extraction method for gender estimation is proposed to handle the aforementioned challenges without going through the pre-processing stage. Bypassing the preprocessing stage is able to reduce the workload of DOOH media. A series of experiments that simulate the challenges are conducted. The experiments result show meFusion has the highest tolerance towards the noises, while compared with the existing handcrafted feature extraction method.
