Abstract
Majority of face recognition algorithms use query faces captured from uncontrolled, in the wild, environment. It is common for these captured facial images to be blurred or low resolution. Super resolution algorithms are therefore crucial in improving the resolution of such images especially when the image size is small requiring enlargement. This paper aims to demonstrate the effect of one of the state-of-the-art algorithms in the field of image super resolution. To demonstrate the functionality of the algorithm, various before and after 3D face alignment cases are provided using the images from the Labeled Faces in the Wild (lfw). Resulting images are subjected for testing on a closed set face recognition protocol using unsupervised algorithms with high dimension extracted features.
