<![CDATA[Facial recognition is currently a widely discussed topic, particularly in the context of gender classification. Facial recognition by computers is more complex and time-consuming compared to humans. There is ongoing research on facial feature extraction for gender classification. Geometry and texture features are effective for gender classification. This study aimed to combine these two features to improve the accuracy of gender classification. This research used the Viola-Jones and Orthogonal Difference Local Binary Pattern (OD-LBP) methods for feature extraction. The Viola-Jones algorithm faces issues in facial detection, leading to outliers in geometry features. At the same time, OD-LBP is a new descriptor capable of addressing pose, lighting, and expression variations. Therefore, this research attempts to utilize OD-LBP for gender classification. The dataset used was FERET, which contained various lighting variations, making OD-LBP suitable for addressing this challenge. Random Forest and Backpropagation were employed for classification. This research demonstrates that combining these two features is effective for gender classification using Backpropagation, achieving an accuracy of 93%. This confirms the superiority of the proposed method over single-feature extraction methods.]]>
