Abstract

Abstract

One of the challenges of face recognition in surveillance is the low resolution of face region. Therefore many superresolution (SR) face reconstruction methods are proposed to produce a high-resolution face image from one or a set of low-resolution face images. However, existing dictionary learning based algorithms are sensitive to noise and very time-consuming. In this paper, we define and prove the multi-scale linear combination consistency. In order to improve the performance of SR, we propose a novel SR face reconstruction method based on nonlocal similarity and multi-scale linear combination consistency (NLS-MLC). We further proposed a new recognition approach for very low resolution face images based on resolution scale invariant feature (RSIF). A series of experiments are conducted on two public face image databases to test feasibility of our proposed methods. Experimental results show that the proposed SR method is more robust and computationally effective in face hallucination, and the recognition accuracy of RSIF is higher than some state-of-art algorithms.
