Our team has adopted an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technique based on deep-learning to restore very low-resolution and compressed images. The developed algorithm has shown that it is capable of restoring degradations that are typically present in CCTV footage. The figure shows a number of low-quality facial images on the left and the restored images on the right. By comparing the restored face to the actual high-resolution face, one can see that the proposed method is able to significantly improve the quality of the face while preserving the identity of the person of interest.
