## What it is
A Keras/TensorFlow implementation of a convolutional neural network that estimates age and gender from face images, trained on the IMDB-WIKI dataset. It includes pretrained weights, a webcam demo script, and data preparation utilities for training.

## Use cases
- estimate age from a face photo
- predict gender from webcam video
- train a CNN on the IMDB-WIKI dataset
- run age and gender estimation on a directory of images
- evaluate age estimation on the APPA-REAL dataset
- fine-tune a pretrained age-gender model on UTKFace

## When to choose
- you need a ready-to-run Keras model for age and gender prediction from faces
- you want pretrained weights plus training scripts for IMDB-WIKI or UTKFace
- you want a quick webcam or image-folder demo of demographic estimation

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained production system - the project has not been updated since 2021
- you prefer PyTorch - the author's separate age-estimation-pytorch project may fit better
- you need face detection or full demographic analytics rather than just age/gender from cropped faces
