gender classification

I had fixed the eigenvalue 0.000000 thing i had the other day. Or so i thought. It seems to come up randomly when training a model.

I used to think i needed an even amount of pictures, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Sometimes i need to delete, sometimes i need to make it even to get good results. Removal of one picture can influence the outcome of the training. If i don't get it right the value oscillates between male or female genders.

I currently have 600 female pictures, 290 male pictures. Gender classification works very well. But yesterday i had an even better model, but somehow i deleted that (figures).

Anyway i guess what i'm trying to say is, i wish i had a better grasp on what influences this.

PS this is not haartraining, i'm use the facerecognizer model->train.

Anyway i guess what i'm trying to say is, i wish i had a better grasp on what influences this. As i'd want to build an even better model, with more pictures. But as long as i don't know what causes the 0.00000 or wild oscillation between labels, there's not much point. It's not the ratio of pictures, it seems, so i guess that leaves the type of pictures.

Is there something messing up my model? There's a thumbnail of someone, which is black when in thumbnail but when i open it , it shows fine. Must be a jpg thing (i save them as png when realigning). Face is also extracted and landmarks applied. So that can't be it.
