In this study, two deep learning architectures— AlexNet and InceptionV3—are used to evaluate gender categorization using thermal imagery. One of the most promising techniques for classifying gender is thermal imaging, which offers distinct insights into physiological traits. Divided into separate training and testing subsets, the dataset is made up of carefully preprocessed thermal pictures. InceptionV3, known for its complex design combining inception modules, and AlexNet, a pioneering convolutional neural network (CNN), are refined on the training data to adjust to the complexities of gender categorization. Then, in order to measure the performance of the trained models, they are rigorously evaluated on the testing set. Specifically, their accuracy is evaluated. Experimental findings show that InceptionV3 performs better than AlexNet, with an accuracy of 92.3% as opposed to 82.6% for AlexNet. This significant disparity highlights how much better InceptionV3 is at identifying subtle thermal patterns and characteristics, which improves gender categorization accuracy. The work makes a substantial contribution to the rapidly developing area of thermal imagingbased gender categorization by highlighting how crucial it is to use advanced deep learning architectures in order to improve performance and accuracy. Subsequent investigations might delve into novel methodologies, including multi-modal fusion or sophisticated methods, to enhance precision and resilience in tasks using thermal-based gender categorization.
