Effectiveness of Blind Face Restoration to Boost Face Recognition Performance at Low-Resolution Images
Published in International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Pattern Recognition, 2023
This paper studies the effectiveness of Blind Face Restoration methods to boost the performance of face recognition systems on low-resolution images. We investigate the use of three blind face restoration techniques, which have demonstrated impressive results in generating realistic high-resolution face images. Three state-of-the-art face recognition methods were selected to assess the impact of using the generated high-resolution images on their performance. Our analysis includes both, synthesized and native low-resolution images. The conducted experimental evaluation show that this is still an open research problem.
