What is the word for the auto-technique humans use to find out whether a person is male or a female human being by their facial appearance [closed]

Facial Gender Recognition Using Multiple Sources of Visual Information

Gender Recognition of Human Faces Using Color

Facial Gender Recognition Using Eyes Images
