The categorization of the ethnicity was developed based on an objective method instead of a subjective Fitzpatrick scale. A Kmeans method was used to categorize the color faces using clusters of RGB pixel values. Also, a new database was collected from the internet and will be available upon request. Our method outperforms the state of the art and reduces the gender classification bias using the skin-type categorization. The best results were achieved with VGGNET architecture with 96.71% accuracy and 3.29% error rate.enGender classificationBiasSkin-DetectionText/Conference Paper1617-5468
