Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 24Gender Detection Using 3d Anthropometric Measurements by Kinect(Polska Akad Nauk, Polish Acad Sciences, 2018) Camalan, Seda; Sengul, Gokhan; Misra, Sanjay; Maskeliunas, Rytis; Damasevicius, RobertasAutomatic gender detection is a process of determining the gender of a human according to the characteristic properties that represent the masculine and feminine attributes of a subject. Automatic gender detection is used in many areas such as customer behaviour analysis, robust security system construction, resource management, human-computer interaction, video games, mobile applications, neuro-marketing etc., in which manual gender detection may be not feasible. In this study, we have developed a fully automatic system that uses the 3D anthropometric measurements of human subjects for gender detection. A Kinect 3D camera was used to recognize the human posture, and body metrics are used as features for classification. To classify the gender, KNN, SVM classifiers and Neural Network were used with the parameters. A unique dataset gathered from 29 female and 31 male (a total of 60 people) participants was used in the experiment and the Leave One Out method was used as the cross-validation approach. The maximum accuracy achieved is 96.77% for SVM with an MLP kernel function.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Women's Professional Career and Culture: Software Organizations in India(Sage Publications inc, 2022) Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, Sushma; Ostrovska, SofiyaIn this work, we conduct an investigation on perspectives and existing barriers for women trying to pursue a career in the Indian software industry. The study is focused on three dimensions: organizational policies and practices, workplace environment, and social-familial factors. Another goal is to compare the perception of male and female software professionals concerning the impact of these dimensions on the careers of female software professionals. The study reveals that formally organizations provide gender-neutral policies, and currently the emphasis needs to be placed on their implementation. It has been observed that, on the whole, there is a favorable work environment and unbiased attitude toward female software employees. At the same time, we conclude that, despite significant progress, hurdles - mainly coming from the society and family traditions-still exist restraining flourishing careers of women in the software sector.
