• Authors: Eduardo Ribeiro, Andreas Uhl, Fernando Alonso-Fernandez
• Abstract summary: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) using different deep learning approaches attempt to recover realistic texture and fine grained details from low resolution images. In this work we explore the viability of these approaches for iris Super-Resolution (SR) in an iris recognition environment. Results show that CNNs and image re-projection can improve the results specially for the accuracy of recognition systems.

• Abstract: Several recent works have addressed the ability of deep learning to disclose rich, hierarchical and discriminative models for the most diverse purposes. Specifically in the super-resolution field, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) using different deep learning approaches attempt to recover realistic texture and fine grained details from low resolution images. In this work we explore the viability of these approaches for iris Super-Resolution (SR) in an iris recognition environment. For this, we test different architectures with and without a so called image re-projection to reduce artifacts applying it to different iris databases to verify the viability of the different CNNs for iris super-resolution. Results show that CNNs and image re-projection can improve the results specially for the accuracy of recognition systems using a complete different training database performing the transfer learning successfully.

  Super-resolution algorithms transform one or more sets of low-resolution images captured from the same scene into high-resolution images. The extraction of image features and nonlinear mapping methods in the reconstruction process remain challenging for existing algorithms. The objective is to recover high-quality, high-resolution images from low-resolution images.
