When low-resolution face images are used for face recognition, the model accuracy is substantially decreased. How to recover high-resolution face features from low-resolution images precisely and efficiently is an essential subtask in face recognition. In this study, we introduce shuffle block SRGAN, a new image super-resolution network inspired by the SRGAN structure. By replacing the residual blocks with shuffle blocks, we can achieve efficient super-resolution reconstruction. Furthermore, by considering the generated image quality in the loss function, we can obtain more realistic super-resolution images. We train and test SB-SRGAN in three public face image datasets and use transfer learning strategy during the training process. The experimental results show that shuffle block SRGAN can achieve desirable image super-resolution performance with respect to visual effect as well as the peak signal-to-noise ratio and structure similarity index method metrics, compared with the performance attained by the other chosen deep-leaning models.

In video surveillance, the captured face images are usually suffered from low-resolution (LR), besides, not all the probe images have mates in the gallery under the premise that only a single frontal high-resolution (HR) face image per subject. To address this problem, a novel face recognition framework called recursive label propagation based on statistical classification (ReLPBSC) has been proposed in this paper. Firstly, we employ VGG to extract robust discriminative feature vectors to represent each face. Then we select the corresponding LR face in the probe for each HR gallery face by similarity. Based on the picked HR–LR pairs, ReLPBSC is implemented for recognition. The main contributions of the proposed approach are as follows: (i) Inspired by substantial achievements of deep learning methods, VGG is adopted to achieve discriminative representation for LR faces to avoid the super-resolution steps; (ii) the accepted and rejected threshold parameters, which are not fixed in face recognition, can be achieved with ReLPBSC adaptively; (iii) the unreliable subjects never enrolled in the gallery can be rejected automatically with designed methods. Experimental results in [Formula: see text] pixels resolution show that the proposed method can achieve 86.64% recall rate while keeping 100% precision.

Abstract Face recognition has a lot of use on smartphone authentication, finding people, etc. Nowadays, face recognition with a constrained environment has achieved very good performance on accuracy. However, the accuracy of existing face recognition methods will gradually decrease when using a dataset with an unconstrained environment. Face image with an unconstrained environment is usually taken from a surveillance camera. In general, surveillance cameras will be placed on the corner of a room or even on the street. So, the image resolution will be low. Low-resolution image will cause the face very hard to be recognized and the accuracy will eventually decrease. That is the main reason why increasing the accuracy of the Low-Resolution Face Recognition (LRFR) problem is still challenging. This research aimed to solve the Low-Resolution Face Recognition (LRFR) problem. The datasets are YouTube Faces Database (YTF) and Labelled Faces in The Wild (LFW). In this research, face image resolution would be decreased using bicubic linear and became the low-resolution image data. Then super resolution methods as the preprocessing step would increase the image resolution. Super resolution methods used in this research are Super resolution GAN (SRGAN) [1] and Enhanced Super resolution GAN (ESRGAN) [2]. These methods would be compared to reach a better accuracy on solving LRFR problem. After increased the image resolution, the image would be recognized using FaceNet. This research concluded that using super resolution as the preprocessing step for LRFR problem has achieved a higher accuracy compared to [3]. The highest accuracy achieved by using ESRGAN as the preprocessing and FaceNet for face recognition with accuracy of 98.96 % and Validation rate 96.757 %.

The resolution of the face image in video may lower than 16*16 in environmental such as ultra long distance, poor illumination and so on, with the very low resolution (VLR) face image the existing face super-resolution (SR) methods do not perform well. In this paper, we proposes a new algorithms by learning the relationship between high-resolution (HR) image space and the VLR image space for face SR.A new constrain, new data constrain are design for reconstruct HR face image form VLR face image. The Experiment results show that the proposed method can recover a clear face image from the VLR face image.
