This project focuses on enhancing the resolution of low-quality face images and performing face recognition using deep learning and image processing techniques. The primary workflow involves using Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks (SRGANs) for image enhancement, followed by face detection using Multi-task Cascaded Convolutional Networks (MTCNN). Additionally, a Siamese Model is employed for face detection, demonstrating its effectiveness over traditional methods.
-
Super-Resolution with SRGANs: The project utilizes SRGANs to enhance the resolution of low-quality face images. This deep learning approach helps in producing high-resolution images from their low-resolution counterparts.
-
Face Detection with MTCNN: Multi-task Cascaded Convolutional Networks (MTCNN) are employed for accurate and efficient face detection in the enhanced images. MTCNN is known for its ability to detect faces at different scales, making it suitable for diverse image resolutions.
-
Siamese Model for Face Detection: In addition to MTCNN, the project explores the use of a Siamese Model for face detection. This model proves to be more useful in certain scenarios, offering an alternative approach to traditional face detection methods.
