摘要

Face hallucination (or super-resolution) is a technique of generating high-resolution face images from low-resolution (LR) inputs. The current face hallucination algorithms struggle with motion blur, a common issue in captured images due to various factors, including camera defocusing, objects in motion, etc. To address this problem, a new motion blur robust face hallucination algorithm via neural network-guided motion blur estimation and patch representation (NNMEPR) is proposed in this paper. The NNMEPR algorithm first estimates the motion blur kernels i.e., length ( \(\lambda\) λ ) and angle ( \(\alpha\) α ) from a motion-blurred LR test faces using a neural network fitting approach with scale conjugate gradient (SCG) learning algorithm. Then, the estimated factor is embedded in the LR dictionary face images to make them compatible with the test images and mitigate the impact of motion blur from the reconstruction process. Moreover, the proposed algorithm employs a neighboring position patch representation in the correlation coefficient calculation process to sustain the sharp edges and texture details in the resulting HR face images. Experiments on standard datasets and locally captured real-world faces demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed NNMEPR algorithm over the existing state-of-the-art techniques.
