An Empirical Study of Super-resolution on Low-resolution Micro-expression Recognition (2310.10022v1)

Published 16 Oct 2023 in cs.CV

Abstract: Micro-expression recognition (MER) in low-resolution (LR) scenarios presents an important and complex challenge, particularly for practical applications such as group MER in crowded environments. Despite considerable advancements in super-resolution techniques for enhancing the quality of LR images and videos, few study has focused on investigate super-resolution for improving LR MER. The scarcity of investigation can be attributed to the inherent difficulty in capturing the subtle motions of micro-expressions, even in original-resolution MER samples, which becomes even more challenging in LR samples due to the loss of distinctive features. Furthermore, a lack of systematic benchmarking and thorough analysis of super-resolution-assisted MER methods has been noted. This paper tackles these issues by conducting a series of benchmark experiments that integrate both super-resolution (SR) and MER methods, guided by an in-depth literature survey. Specifically, we employ seven cutting-edge state-of-the-art (SOTA) MER techniques and evaluate their performance on samples generated from 13 SOTA SR techniques, thereby addressing the problem of super-resolution in MER. Through our empirical study, we uncover the primary challenges associated with SR-assisted MER and identify avenues to tackle these challenges by leveraging recent advancements in both SR and MER methodologies. Our analysis provides insights for progressing toward more efficient SR-assisted MER.
