Abstract

This paper presents a real-time low-resolution face recognition method that uses a super-resolution technique. Conventional face recognition methods are limited by low accuracy resulting from the distance between the camera and objects. Although super-resolution methods have been developed to resolve this issue, they are not suitable for integrated face recognition systems. The proposed method recognizes faces with low resolution using key frame selection, super resolution, face detection, and recognition on real-time processing. Experiments involving several databases indicated that the proposed algorithm is superior to conventional methods in terms of face recognition accuracy.

본 논문은 초고해상도 기법을 이용한 실시간 저해상도 얼굴 인식 시스템을 제안한다. 기존의 비대면 얼굴인식은 거리에 따라 해상도가 저하되면서 얼굴인식의 성능이 저하되는 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 초고해상도 기법에 대한 연구도 진행되었으나 비대면 얼굴인식 전 과정에 대한 통합적인 설계에 관한 연구는 미흡하다. 제안한 비대면 얼굴인식은 저해상도 영상으로 키프레임 검출, 얼굴검출, 초고해상도 기법, 특징추출 및 얼굴인식 결과까지 약 2초 이내에 수행함으로써 먼 거리에서도 비대면 얼굴인식의 성능을 향상하였다. 다양한 형태의 영상에 대한 실험을 통해 제안한 방법은 기존 방법에 비해 실시간 및 성능측면에서 저해상도 얼굴 인식이 우수함을 확인하였다.
