Image Super Resolution

Image denoising and image super-resolution reconstruction are two important techniques for image processing. Deep learning is used to solve the problem of image denoising and super-resolution reconstruction in recent years, and it usually has better results than traditional methods. However, image denoising and super-resolution reconstruction are studied separately by state-of-the-art work. To optimally improve the image resolution, it is necessary to investigate how to integrate these two techniques. In this paper, based on Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), we propose a novel image denoising and super-resolution reconstruction method, i.e., multiscale-fusion GAN (MFGAN), to restore the images interfered by noises. Our contributions reflect in the following three aspects: (1) the combination of image denoising and image super-resolution reconstruction simplifies the process of upsampling and downsampling images during the model learning, avoiding repeated input and output images operations, and improves the efficiency of image processing. (2) Motivated by the Inception structure and introducing a multiscale-fusion strategy, our method is capable of using the multiple convolution kernels with different sizes to expand the receptive field in parallel. (3) The ablation experiments verify the effectiveness of each employed loss measurement in our devised loss function. And our experimental studies demonstrate that the proposed model can effectively expand the receptive field and thus reconstruct images with high resolution and accuracy and that the proposed MFGAN method performs better than a few state-of-the-art methods.

Image Super Resolution

This paper deals with detecting small objects in remote sensing images from satellites or any aerial vehicle by utilizing the concept of image super-resolution for image resolution enhancement using a deep-learning-based detection method. This paper provides a rationale for image super-resolution for small objects by improving the current super-resolution (SR) framework by incorporating a cyclic generative adversarial network (GAN) and residual feature aggregation (RFA) to improve detection performance. The novelty of the method is threefold: first, a framework is proposed, independent of the final object detector used in research, i.e., YOLOv3 could be replaced with Faster R-CNN or any object detector to perform object detection; second, a residual feature aggregation network was used in the generator, which significantly improved the detection performance as the RFA network detected complex features; and third, the whole network was transformed into a cyclic GAN. The image super-resolution cyclic GAN with RFA and YOLO as the detection network is termed as SRCGAN-RFA-YOLO, which is compared with the detection accuracies of other methods. Rigorous experiments on both satellite images and aerial images (ISPRS Potsdam, VAID, and Draper Satellite Image Chronology datasets) were performed, and the results showed that the detection performance increased by using super-resolution methods for spatial resolution enhancement; for an IoU of 0.10, AP of 0.7867 was achieved for a scale factor of 16.

Two Phases

The image super-resolution methods with deep learning using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) have been producing admirable advancements. The proposed image resolution model involves the following two main analyses: (i) analysis using Adaptive Discrete Wavelet Transform (ADWT) with Deep CNN and (ii) analysis using Non-negative Structured Sparse Representation (NSSR). The technique termed as NSSR is used to recover the high-resolution (HR) images from the low-resolution (LR) images. The experimental evaluation involves two phases: Training and Testing. In the training phase, the information regarding the residual images of the dataset are trained using the optimized Deep CNN. On the other hand, the testing phase helps to generate the super resolution image using the HR wavelet subbands (HRSB) and residual images. As the main novelty, the filter coefficients of DWT are optimized by the hybrid Fire Fly-based Spotted Hyena Optimization (FF-SHO) to develop ADWT. Finally, a valuable performance evaluation on the two benchmark hyperspectral image datasets confirms the effectiveness of the proposed model over the existing algorithms.

Single Image Super Resolution

In this paper, we propose an enhanced dual path attention network (EDPAN) for image super-resolution. ResNet is good at implicitly reusing extracted features, DenseNet is good at exploring new features. Dual Path Network (DPN) combines ResNets and DenseNet to create a more accurate architecture than the straightforward one. We experimentally show that the residual network performs best when each block consists of two convolutions, and the dense network performs best when each micro-block consists of one convolution. Following these ideas, our EDPAN exploits the advantages of the residual structure and the dense structure. Besides, to deploy the computations for features more effectively, we introduce the attention mechanism into our EDPAN. Moreover, to relieve the parameters burden, we also utilize recursive learning to propose a lightweight model. In the experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our proposed EDPAN on different degradation situations. The quantitative results and visualization comparison can sufficiently indicate that our EDPAN achieves favorable performance over the state-of-the-art frameworks.

Image Super Resolution

Image super-resolution (SR) reconstruction plays a key role in coping with the increasing demand on remote sensing imaging applications with high spatial resolution requirements. Though many SR methods have been proposed over the last few years, further research is needed to improve SR processes with regard to the complex spatial distribution of the remote sensing images and the diverse spatial scales of ground objects. In this paper, a novel multi-perception attention network (MPSR) is developed with performance exceeding those of many existing state-of-the-art models. By incorporating the proposed enhanced residual block (ERB) and residual channel attention group (RCAG), MPSR can super-resolve low-resolution remote sensing images via multi-perception learning and multi-level information adaptive weighted fusion. Moreover, a pre-train and transfer learning strategy is introduced, which improved the SR performance and stabilized the training procedure. Experimental comparisons are conducted using 13 state-of-the-art methods over a remote sensing dataset and benchmark natural image sets. The proposed model proved its excellence in both objective criterion and subjective perspective.
