The invention discloses a face image super-resolution method based on an improved deep iterative collaborative network, and the method comprises the steps: 1), carrying out the early-stage data processing, and obtaining low-resolution face image data; 2) inputting a low-resolution face image into an image super-resolution sub-network, and processing the face image by a shallow feature extraction module to obtain shallow features; 3) the output of the shallow feature and prior information extraction sub-network in the last iteration process is sent to the image super-resolution sub-network to obtain high-resolution features, and a reconstruction module reconstructs the high-resolution features to obtain a high-resolution image; 4) inputting the high-resolution image into the prior information extraction sub-network, and outputting a face key point thermodynamic diagram, a semantic analysis diagram and intermediate layer features at the same time; and (5) repeating the steps (3) and (4), and carrying out iteration for N times to obtain final high-resolution image output. According to the method, the structure information of the face image is fully considered, the super-resolution effect of the face image is better, the parameter scale is smaller, and the time overhead is smaller.
