State-of-the-art face recognition methods have achieved ex- cellent performance on the clean datasets. However, in real- world applications, the captured face images are usually contaminated with noise, which significantly decreases the performance of these face recognition methods. In this pa- per, we propose a cascaded noise-robust deep convolutional neural network (CNR-CNN) method, consisting of two sub- networks, i.e., a denoising sub-network and a face recognition sub-network, for face recognition under noise. Instead of sep- arately training the two sub-networks, we jointly train them in a cascaded manner. As a result, the images generated from the denoising sub-network are beneficial to the training of the face recognition sub-network. Furthermore, the dense connectivity is used to concatenate the feature maps layer- by-layer in the denoising sub-network, which can effectively exploit the shallow and deep features of CNN. Experimental results on public face datasets demonstrate the superior per- formance of the proposed method over several state-of-the-art methods.
