Title
OPLS-SR: A novel face super-resolution learning method using orthonormalized coherent features
Abstract
Face super-resolution (FSR) is an effective way to deal with low-resolution (LR) face images, which can infer the latent high-resolution (HR) face images from the LR inputs. In contrast with traditional FSR methods such as interpolation, learning-based methods generate more realistic HR images of LR faces by exploiting the relationship between HR and LR images. In this paper, we propose a novel FSR learning approach based on orthonormalized partial least squares referred to as OPLS-SR. It first learns a latent coherent feature space of low-dimensional HR and LR face embeddings via a recursive optimization, and then super-resolves the LR face images through global face reconstruction and facial detail compensation. Experimental results on the CAS-PEAL-R1 and FERET face databases have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed OPLS-SR method in terms of quantitative and qualitative evaluations.
