• Abstract summary: Face images obtained in most video surveillance scenarios are low resolution with mask simultaneously. Most of the previous face super-resolution solutions can not handle both tasks in one model. We construct a joint and collaborative learning network, called JDSR-GAN, for the masked face super-resolution task.

• Abstract: With the growing importance of preventing the COVID-19 virus, face images obtained in most video surveillance scenarios are low resolution with mask simultaneously. However, most of the previous face super-resolution solutions can not handle both tasks in one model. In this work, we treat the mask occlusion as image noise and construct a joint and collaborative learning network, called JDSR-GAN, for the masked face super-resolution task. Given a low-quality face image with the mask as input, the role of the generator composed of a denoising module and super-resolution module is to acquire a high-quality high-resolution face image. The discriminator utilizes some carefully designed loss functions to ensure the quality of the recovered face images. Moreover, we incorporate the identity information and attention mechanism into our network for feasible correlated feature expression and informative feature learning. By jointly performing denoising and face super-resolution, the two tasks can complement each other and attain promising performance. Extensive qualitative and quantitative results show the superiority of our proposed JDSR-GAN over some comparable methods which perform the previous two tasks separately.

  Face Super-Resolution aims to recover high-resolution (HR) face images from low-resolution (LR) ones. Existing approaches are not ideal due to their low reconstruction efficiency and insufficient utilization of prior information. This paper proposes a novel network architecture called W-Net to address this challenge.

  In real-world scenarios, many factors may harm face recognition performance, e.g., large pose, bad illumination,low resolution, blur and noise. Previous efforts usually first restore the low-quality faces to high-quality ones and then perform face recognition. We propose an Multi-Degradation Face Restoration model to restore frontalized high-quality faces from the given low-quality ones.
