FaceMoE architecture enhances low-resolution face recognition

Researchers have introduced FaceMoE, a novel Mixture of Experts (MoE) transformer architecture designed to improve low-resolution face recognition. This architecture employs specialized feed-forward network experts and a top-k router to dynamically assign tokens, promoting expert specialization for different facial regions. FaceMoE aims to enhance feature extraction and aggregation in low-resolution images while mitigating the domain gap between high-resolution and low-resolution data. The model is trained with a combined loss function to ensure expert specialization and stable training, and extensive experiments show it outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods across various benchmarks.

    FaceMoE: Mixture of Experts for Low-Resolution Face Recognition

    Low-resolution face recognition (LR-FR) remains a challenging task due to poor feature extraction and aggregation, as probe images often contain limited identity information resulting from extreme degradations such as blur, occlusion, and low contrast. Additionally, the domain ga…
