In this work,\nwe examine systematically this under-studied FR problem, and introduce a novel\nComplement Super-Resolution and Identity (CSRI) joint deep learning method with\na unified end-to-end network architecture. We further construct a new\nlarge-scale dataset TinyFace of native unconstrained low-resolution face images\nfrom selected public datasets, because none benchmark of this nature exists in\nthe literature. With extensive experiments we show there is a significant gap\nbetween the reported FR performances on popular benchmarks and the results on\nTinyFace, and the advantages of the proposed CSRI over a variety of\nstate-of-the-art FR and super-resolution deep models on solving this largely\nignored FR scenario.
