This study addresses the critical challenge of micro-scale face detection in lowresolution surveillance imagery by proposing a hybrid pipeline integrating YOLOv11-pose, Slicing Aided Hyper Inference (SAHI), and Real-ESRGAN using a two-phase methodology on the WIDER FACE dataset enriched with 5-point landmark annotations. The first phase focuses on architectural optimization, where YOLOv11s-pose…
