| Summary: | The focus of this research is on images extracted from surveillance videos that have a low resolution and are taken under low illumination. In recent years, great advances have been made in face recognition and many studies mention results of 80% and 90% of recognition efficiency, however, most of these studies reported results using face images under controlled conditions. Current surveillance systems are equipped with low resolution cameras and are located in places with changing illumination, as opposed to a controlled environment. To be used in face recognition, images extracted from videos need to be normalized, enlarged and preprocessed. There is a multitude of processing algorithms for image enhancement, and each algorithm faces its advantages and disadvantages. This thesis presents a novel method for image enlargement of human faces applied to low quality video recordings. Results and comparison to traditional methods are also presented. | |
