In this paper, a multi-input convolutional neural network (CNN) based on a uniform experimental design (UED) is proposed for gender classification applications. The proposed multi-input CNN uses multiple CNNs to obtain output results through individual training and concatenation. In addition, to avoid using trial and error for determining the architecture parameters of the multi-input CNN, a UED was used in this study. The experimental results confirmed that the dual-input CNN with a UED achieved accuracies of 99.68 and 99.06% for the CIA and MORPH datasets, respectively. The accuracy of the proposed CNN increased significantly when increasing the number of inputs.
