Gender recognition based on facial images is one of the interesting applications in the field of image processing and artificial intelligence. Deep Learning methods, particularly artificial neural networks, have emerged as an effective tool for extracting complex facial features and classifying gender with high accuracy. This research outlines a study that aims to develop an employee gender recognition system based on facial images using Deep Learning methods. The method used in this study proposes the inceptionV3 model as well as the OpenCV and matplotlib libraries in Python in involving the collection of facial image datasets covering different genders with a total of 1024 facial images, each with 40 attributes. This dataset was used to train a deep artificial neural network to recognize patterns and features that are unique to male and female genders and validated. Furthermore, the artificial neural network was tested with a dataset of never-before-seen facial images to evaluate the performance of the system. The results show that the InceptionV3 Deep Learning model has great potential in gender recognition based on facial images. The developed system was able to achieve a high level of accuracy in classifying the gender of individuals from facial images with a total accuracy of 94.8% against the test data, even in complex situations such as variations in facial expressions and lighting.
