Abstract
Recognition rate of face recognition algorithms is dependent on the resolution of the imagery, specifically the number of pixels contained within the face. Using a sequence of frames from low-resolution videos, super-resolution reconstruction can form a higher resolution image, aiding the face recognition stage for improved performance. In this work, gallery sets and probe sets from the video database of moving faces and people [1] are used to assess the performance improvement of face recognition using super-resolution.
