Historical Blurry Video-Based Face Recognition by Lujun Zhai, Suxia Cui, Yonghui Wang, Song Wang, Jun Zhou, Greg Wilsbacher

“…Historical motion picture films often have poorer resolution than modern digital imagery, making face detection a more challenging task. To approach this problem, we first propose a trunk–branch concatenated multi-task cascaded convolutional neural network (TB-MTCNN), which efficiently extracts facial features from blurry historical films by combining the trunk with branch networks and employing various sizes of kernels to enrich the multi-scale receptive field. …”
