Abstract

Whether to use face priors in the face super-resolution (FSR) methods is a symmetry problem.Various face priors are used to describe the overall and local face features, making the generation of super-resolution face images expensive and laborious. FSR methods that do not require any prior information tend to focus too much on the local features of the face, ignoring the modeling of global information. To solve this problem, we propose a dual-path facial image super-resolution network (SwinDPSR) fused with Swin Transformer. The network does not require additional face priors, and it learns global face shape and local face components through two independent branches. In addition, the channel attention ECA module is used to aggregate the global and local face information in the above dual-path sub-networks, which can generate corresponding high-quality face images. The results of face super-resolution reconstruction experiments on public face datasets and a real-scene face dataset show that SwinDPSR is superior to previous advanced methods both in terms of visual effects and objective indicators. The reconstruction results are evaluated with four evaluation metrics: peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity (SSIM), learned perceptual image patch similarity (LPIPS), and mean perceptual score (MPS).
