In the field of single-image super-resolution (SISR) research, neural networks and deep learning methods are gradually being widely used by researchers. Over time, the fields of application have expanded in scope. The SISR method is also applied in the field of intelligent satellite imagery. In recent years, research applications based on intelligent satellite images have mostly focused on imaging, classification, and segmentation. They have rarely been used in actual observation problems. This article proposes a new intelligent neural network model, the Laplacian pyramid residual dense network, for the super-resolution of hyperspectral satellite medical geographic small-targets. This study proceeds in three steps. First, the three-layer Laplacian pyramid structure is designed to increase the depth of the image at the feature extraction stage. Second, the residual mode is improved and updated; a new residual block is proposed for constructing the residual dense network to enhance the feature details of the image during the training process. In the third step, an end-to-end network is established directly through the residual structure for eliminating unnecessary visualization during the process and for ease of training. According to the experimental results, it has been proved that the deep intelligent neural network method proposed here has achieved good results in the application for super-resolution of medical geographic small-target intelligent satellite images.

We present a simple and effective image super-resolution algorithm that imposes an image formation constraint on the deep neural networks via pixel substitution. The proposed algorithm first uses a deep neural network to estimate intermediate high-resolution images, blurs the intermediate images using known blur kernels, and then substitutes values of the pixels at the un-decimated positions with those of the corresponding pixels from the low-resolution images. The output of the pixel substitution process strictly satisfies the image formation model and is further refined by the same deep neural network in a cascaded manner. The proposed framework is trained in an end-to-end fashion and can work with existing feed-forward deep neural networks for super-resolution and converges fast in practice. Extensive experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs favorably against state-of-the-art methods.
