文摘Fourier light-field microscopy(FLFM)uses a microlens aray(MLA)to segment the Fourierplane of the microscopic objective lens to generate multiple two-dimensional perspective views,thereby reconstructing the threedimensional(3D)structure of the sample using 3D deconvo-lution calculation without scanning.However,the resolution of FLFM is stil limited by dif-fraction,and furthermore,it is dependent on the aperture division.In order to improve itsresolution,a super-resolution opticai fuctuation Fourier light-field microscopy(SOFFLFM)wasproposed here,in which the super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging(SOFI)with the abilityof super-resolution was introduced into FLFM.SOFFLFM uses higher-order cumulants statis-tical analysis on an image sequence collected by FLFM,and then carries out 3D deconvolutioncalculation to reconstruct the 3D structure of the sample.The theoretical basis of SOFFLFM onimproving resolution was explained and then verified with the simulations.Simulation resultsdemonstrated that SOFFLFM improved the lateral and axial resolution by more than V2 and 2times in the second-and fourth-order accumulations,compared with that of FLFM.
文摘The angular resolution of radar is of crucial signifi-cance to its tracking performance.In this paper,a super-resolu-tion parameter estimation algorithm based on wide-narrowband joint processing is proposed to improve the angular resolution of wideband monopulse radar.The range cells containing resolv-able scattering points are detected in the wideband mode,and these range cells are adopted to estimate part of the target parameters by algorithms of low computational requirement.Then,the likelihood function of the echo is constructed in the narrow-band mode to estimate the rest of the parameters,and the parameters estimated in the wideband mode are employed to reduce computation and enhance estimation accuracy.Simu-lation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has higher estimation accuracy and lower computational complexity than the current algorithm and can avoid the risk of model mis-match.

文摘Image Super-Resolution(SR)research has achieved great success with powerful neural networks.The deeper networks with more parameters improve the restoration quality but add the computation complexity,which means more inference time would be cost,hindering image SR from practical usage.Noting the spatial distribution of the objects or things in images,a twostage local objects SR system is proposed,which consists of two modules,the object detection module and the SR module.Firstly,You Only Look Once(YOLO),which is efficient in generic object detection tasks,is selected to detect the input images for obtaining objects of interest,then put them into the SR module and output corresponding High-Resolution(HR)subimages.The computational power consumption of image SR is optimized by reducing the resolution of input images.In addition,we establish a dataset,TrafficSign500,for our experiment.Finally,the performance of the proposed system is evaluated under several State-Of-The-Art(SOTA)YOLOv5 and SISR models.Results show that our system can achieve a tremendous computation improvement in image SR.

文摘Hyperspectral images can easily discriminate different materials due to their fine spectral resolution.However,obtaining a hyperspectral image(HSI)with a high spatial resolution is still a challenge as we are limited by the high computing requirements.The spatial resolution of HSI can be enhanced by utilizing Deep Learning(DL)based Super-resolution(SR).A 3D-CNNHSR model is developed in the present investigation for 3D spatial super-resolution for HSI,without losing the spectral content.The 3DCNNHSR model was tested for the Hyperion HSI.The pre-processing of the HSI was done before applying the SR model so that the full advantage of hyperspectral data can be utilized with minimizing the errors.The key innovation of the present investigation is that it used 3D convolution as it simultaneously applies convolution in both the spatial and spectral dimensions and captures spatial-spectral features.By clustering contiguous spectral content together,a cube is formed and by convolving the cube with the 3D kernel a 3D convolution is realized.The 3D-CNNHSR model was compared with a 2D-CNN model,additionally,the assessment was based on higherresolution data from the Sentinel-2 satellite.Based on the evaluation metrics it was observed that the 3D-CNNHSR model yields better results for the SR of HSI with efficient computational speed,which is significantly less than previous studies.

文摘A Generative Adversarial Neural(GAN)network is designed based on deep learning for the Super-Resolution(SR)reconstruction task of temperaturefields(comparable to downscaling in the meteorologicalfield),which is limited by the small number of ground stations and the sparse distribution of observations,resulting in a lack offineness of data.To improve the network’s generalization performance,the residual structure,and batch normalization are used.Applying the nearest interpolation method to avoid over-smoothing of the climate element values instead of the conventional Bicubic interpolation in the computer visionfield.Sub-pixel convolution is used instead of transposed convolution or interpolation methods for up-sampling to speed up network inference.The experimental dataset is the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis v5(ERA5)with a bidirectional resolution of 0:1°×0:1°.On the other hand,the task aims to scale up the size by a factor of 8,which is rare compared to conventional methods.The comparison methods include traditional interpolation methods and a more widely used GAN-based network such as the SRGAN.Thefinal experimental results show that the proposed scheme advances the performance of Root Mean Square Error(RMSE)by 37.25%,the Peak Signal-to-noise Ratio(PNSR)by 14.4%,and the Structural Similarity(SSIM)by 10.3%compared to the Bicubic Interpolation.For the traditional SRGAN network,a relatively obvious performance improvement is observed by experimental demonstration.Meanwhile,the GAN network can converge stably and reach the approximate Nash equilibrium for various initialization parameters to empirically illustrate the effectiveness of the method in the temperature fields.

文摘The prime purpose for the image reconstruction of a multi-frame super-resolution is to reconstruct a higher-resolution image through incorporating the knowledge obtained from a series of relevant low-resolution images,which is useful in numerousfields.Nevertheless,super-resolution image reconstruction methods are usually damaged by undesirable restorative artifacts,which include blurring distortion,noises,and stair-casing effects.Consequently,it is always challenging to achieve balancing between image smoothness and preservation of the edges inside the image.In this research work,we seek to increase the effectiveness of multi-frame super-resolution image reconstruction by increasing the visual information and improving the automated machine perception,which improves human analysis and interpretation processes.Accordingly,we propose a new approach to the image reconstruction of multi-frame super-resolution,so that it is created through the use of the regularization framework.In the proposed approach,the bilateral edge preserving and bilateral total variation regularizations are employed to approximate a high-resolution image generated from a sequence of corresponding images with low-resolution to protect significant features of an image,including sharp image edges and texture details while preventing artifacts.The experimental results of the synthesized image demonstrate that the new proposed approach has improved efficacy both visually and numerically more than other approaches.
文摘Super-resolution techniques are used to reconstruct an image with a high resolution from one or more low-resolution image(s).In this paper,we proposed a single image super-resolution algorithm.It uses the nonlocal mean filter as a prior step to produce a denoised image.The proposed algorithm is based on curvelet transform.It converts the denoised image into low and high frequencies(sub-bands).Then we applied a multi-dimensional interpolation called Lancozos interpolation over both sub-bands.In parallel,we applied sparse representation with over complete dictionary for the denoised image.The proposed algorithm then combines the dictionary learning in the sparse representation and the interpolated sub-bands using inverse curvelet transform to have an image with a higher resolution.The experimental results of the proposed super-resolution algorithm show superior performance and obviously better-recovering images with enhanced edges.The comparison study shows that the proposed super-resolution algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art.The mean absolute error is 0.021±0.008 and the structural similarity index measure is 0.89±0.08.

文摘Medical image super-resolution is a fundamental challenge due to absorption and scattering in tissues.These challenges are increasing the interest in the quality of medical images.Recent research has proven that the rapid progress in convolutional neural networks(CNNs)has achieved superior performance in the area of medical image super-resolution.However,the traditional CNN approaches use interpolation techniques as a preprocessing stage to enlarge low-resolution magnetic resonance(MR)images,adding extra noise in the models and more memory consumption.Furthermore,conventional deep CNN approaches used layers in series-wise connection to create the deeper mode,because this later end layer cannot receive complete information and work as a dead layer.In this paper,we propose Inception-ResNet-based Network for MRI Image Super-Resolution known as IRMRIS.In our proposed approach,a bicubic interpolation is replaced with a deconvolution layer to learn the upsampling filters.Furthermore,a residual skip connection with the Inception block is used to reconstruct a high-resolution output image from a low-quality input image.Quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the proposed method are supported through extensive experiments in reconstructing sharper and clean texture details as compared to the state-of-the-art methods.
