Gender identification plays a vital role in many application like human computer interaction, content based indexing ,decision making ,searching ,surveillance and demographic studies. There are three main steps involved that are preprocessing ,feature extraction and classification. Fingerprint based gender recognition is one of the best biometric technologies that can be used to monitor people without their cooperation.
