Abstract:
Combined variations such as low-resolution and occlusion often present in face images in the wild, e.g., under the scenario of video surveillance. While most of the existing face enhancement approaches only handle one type of variation per model, in this paper, we propose a deep generative adversarial network (FCSR-GAN) for joint face completion and face super-resolution via one model. The generator of FCSR-GAN aims to recover a high-resolution face image without occlusion given an input low-resolution face image with partial occlusions. The discriminator of FCSR-GAN consists of two adversarial losses, a perceptual loss, and a face parsing loss, which assure the high quality of the recovered face images. Experimental results on several public-domain databases (CelebA and Helen) show that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in jointly doing face super-resolution (up to 4×) and face completion from low-resolution face images with occlusions.
