Abstract Inspired by the principle of heterogeneous convolution, a blurry face image reconstruction algorithm based on asymmetric kernel convolution combined with semantic confidence embedding is proposed under the framework of deep learning. Aiming at the deficiency of symmetrical square convolution kernel in expressing important features during feature extraction,asymmetric kernel is employed to replace the symmetric square convolution kernel to enhance the feature expression ability of the square convolution kernel. In the reconstruction stage, the asymmetric kernel convolution is combined with the semantic confidence network to further extract the most benificial features of each type of semantic information for the results in the reconstruction. The confidence is combined to guide the network to train in a more suitable direction for reconstruction. Experimental results on CelebA and Helen datasets show that the proposed algorithm produces better reconstruction results.
