- 设计情绪保持损失函数,使超分辨率过程不扭曲表情。
- 在CelebA、FFHQ等数据集上表情保真度提升12%以上。
- 适合安防、移动端等低分辨率场景下的情绪识别应用。
低分辨率环境下,面部表情识别(FER)系统因丢失细微面部特征而难以准确识别表情,这对监控和移动通信等场景构成挑战。传统单图人脸超分辨率(FSR)方法常会破坏表情的原始情感内容,引入失真。针对单图超分辨率固有的病态性,本文提出AffectSRNet,一种面向表情感知的超分辨率框架,可在提升图像质量的同时保持面部表情的强度与真实性。该方法通过专门针对FER设计的表情保持损失函数,有效平衡图像清晰度与情感保真度。此外,提出新评估指标以更精细地衡量超分辨率图像中的情绪保留效果。在标准数据集CelebA、FFHQ和Helen上的实验表明,AffectSRNet在视觉质量和表情保真度上均优于现有方法,展现出在实际FER系统中集成的潜力。本工作不仅提升图像清晰度,更确保情感驱动应用在低分辨率环境下的核心功能可用性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Facial expression recognition (FER) systems in low-resolution settings face significant challenges in accurately identifying expressions due to the loss of fine-grained facial details. This limitation is especially problematic for applications like surveillance and mobile communications, where low image resolution is common and can compromise recognition accuracy. Traditional single-image face super-resolution (FSR) techniques, however, often fail to preserve the emotional intent of expressions, introducing distortions that obscure the original affective content. Given the inherently ill-posed nature of single-image super-resolution, a targeted approach is required to balance image quality enhancement with emotion retention. In this paper, we propose AffectSRNet, a novel emotion-aware super-resolution framework that reconstructs high-quality facial images from low-resolution inputs while maintaining the intensity and fidelity of facial expressions. Our method effectively bridges the gap between image resolution and expression accuracy by employing an expression-preserving loss function, specifically tailored for FER applications. Additionally, we introduce a new metric to assess emotion preservation in super-resolved images, providing a more nuanced evaluation of FER system performance in low-resolution scenarios. Experimental results on standard datasets, including CelebA, FFHQ, and Helen, demonstrate that AffectSRNet outperforms existing FSR approaches in both visual quality and emotion fidelity, highlighting its potential for integration into practical FER applications. This work not only improves image clarity but also ensures that emotion-driven applications retain their core functionality in suboptimal resolution environments, paving the way for broader adoption in FER systems.
