Super-resolution reconstruction of synthetic-aperture radar image using adaptive-threshold singular value decomposition technique

A super-resolution reconstruction approach of （SVD） technique was presented, and its performance was radar image using an adaptive-threshold singular value decomposition analyzed, compared and assessed detailedly. First, radar imaging model and super-resolution reconstruction mechanism were outlined. Then, the adaptive-threshold SVD super-resolution algorithm, and its two key aspects, namely the determination method of point spread function （PSF） matrix T and the selection scheme of singular value threshold, were presented. Finally, the super-resolution algorithm was demonstrated successfully using the measured synthetic-aperture radar （SAR） images, and a Monte Carlo assessment was carried out to evaluate the performance of the algorithm by using the input/output signal-to-noise ratio （SNR）. Five versions of SVD algorithms, namely 1 ） using all singular values, 2） using the top 80% singular values, 3） using the top 50% singular values, 4） using the top 20% singular values and 5） using singular values s such that S2≥/max（s2）/rinsNR were tested. The experimental results indicate that when the singular value threshold is set as Smax/（rinSNR）1/2, the super-resolution algorithm provides a good compromise between too much noise and too much bias and has good reconstruction results.

Image super-resolution reconstruction based on sparse representation and residual compensation

A super-resolution reconstruction algorithm is proposed. The algorithm is based on the idea of the sparse representation of signals, by using the fact that the sparsest representation of a sig- nal is unique as the constraint of the patched-based reconstruction, and compensating residual errors of the reconstruction results both locally and globally to solve the distortion problem in patch-based reconstruction algorithms. Three reconstruction algorithms are compared. The results show that the images reconstructed with the new algorithm have the best quality.

Super-resolution image reconstruction based on three-step-training neural networks

A new method of super-resolution image reconstruction is proposed, which uses a three-step-training error backpropagation neural network （BPNN） to realize the super-resolution reconstruction （SRR） of satellite image. The method is based on BPNN. First, three groups learning samples with different resolutions are obtained according to image observation model, and then vector mappings are respectively used to those three group learning samples to speed up the convergence of BPNN, at last, three times consecutive training are carried on the BPNN. Training samples used in each step are of higher resolution than those used in the previous steps, so the increasing weights store a great amount of information for SRR, and network performance and generalization ability are improved greatly. Simulation and generalization tests are carried on the well-trained three-step-training NN respectively, and the reconstruction results with higher resolution images verify the effectiveness and validity of this method.

Multi-channel fast super-resolution image reconstruction based on matrix observation model

A multi-channel fast super-resolution image reconstruction algorithm based on matrix observation model is proposed in the paper,which consists of three steps to avoid the computational complexity: a single image SR reconstruction step,a registration step and a wavelet-based image fusion. This algorithm decomposes two large matrixes to the tensor product of two little matrixes and uses the natural isomorphism between matrix space and vector space to transform cost function based on matrix-vector products model to matrix form. Furthermore,we prove that the regularization part can be transformed to the matrix formed. The conjugate-gradient method is used to solve this new model. Finally,the wavelet fusion is used to integrate all the registered highresolution images obtained from the single image SR reconstruction step. The proposed algorithm reduces the storage requirement and the calculating complexity,and can be applied to large-dimension low-resolution images.

Transformer and GAN-Based Super-Resolution Reconstruction Network for Medical Images

Super-resolution reconstruction in medical imaging has become more demanding due to the necessity of obtaining high-quality images with minimal radiation dose,such as in low-field magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).However,image super-resolution reconstruction remains a difficult task because of the complexity and high textual requirements for diagnosis purpose.In this paper,we offer a deep learning based strategy for reconstructing medical images from low resolutions utilizing Transformer and generative adversarial networks(T-GANs).The integrated system can extract more precise texture information and focus more on important locations through global image matching after successfully inserting Transformer into the generative adversarial network for picture reconstruction.Furthermore,we weighted the combination of content loss,adversarial loss,and adversarial feature loss as the final multi-task loss function during the training of our proposed model T-GAN.In comparison to established measures like peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)and structural similarity index measure(SSIM),our suggested T-GAN achieves optimal performance and recovers more texture features in super-resolution reconstruction of MRI scanned images of the knees and belly.

A NOVEL METHOD TO REALIZE COMPRESSED VIDEO SUPER-RESOLUTION RECONSTRUCTION

This letter proposes a novel method of compressed video super-resolution reconstruction based on MAP-POCS (Maximum Posterior Probability-Projection Onto Convex Set). At first assuming the high-resolution model subject to Poisson-Markov distribution, then constructing the projecting convex based on MAP. According to the characteristics of compressed video, two different convexes are constructed based on integrating the inter-frame and intra-frame information in the wavelet-domain. The results of the experiment demonstrate that the new method not only outperforms the traditional algorithms on the aspects of PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio), MSE (Mean Square Error) and reconstruction vision effect, but also has the advantages of rapid convergence and easy extension.

Vegetation is crucial for wetland ecosystems.Human activities and climate changes are increasingly threatening wetland ecosystems.Combining satellite images and deep learning for classifying marsh vegetation communities has faced great challenges because of its coarse spatial resolution and limited spectral bands.This study aimed to propose a method to classify marsh vegetation using multi-resolution multispectral and hyperspectral images,combining super-resolution techniques and a novel self-constructing graph attention neural network(SGA-Net)algorithm.The SGA-Net algorithm includes a decoding layer(SCE-Net)to preciselyfine marsh vegetation classification in Honghe National Nature Reserve,Northeast China.The results indicated that the hyperspectral reconstruction images based on the super-resolution convolutional neural network(SRCNN)obtained higher accuracy with a peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)of 28.87 and structural similarity(SSIM)of 0.76 in spatial quality and root mean squared error(RMSE)of 0.11 and R^(2) of 0.63 in spectral quality.The improvement of classification accuracy(MIoU)by enhanced super-resolution generative adversarial network(ESRGAN)(6.19%)was greater than that of SRCNN(4.33%)and super-resolution generative adversarial network(SRGAN)(3.64%).In most classification schemes,the SGA-Net outperformed DeepLabV3+and SegFormer algorithms for marsh vegetation and achieved the highest F1-score(78.47%).This study demonstrated that collaborative use of super-resolution reconstruction and deep learning is an effective approach for marsh vegetation mapping.

Study on infrared image super-resolution reconstruction based on an improved POCS algorithm

Aiming at the disadvantages of the traditional projection onto convex sets of blurry edges and lack of image details,this paper proposes an improved projection onto convex sets（POCS） method to enhance the quality of image super-resolution reconstruction（SRR）.In traditional POCS method,bilinear interpolation easily blurs the image.In order to improve the initial estimation of high-resolution image（HRI） during reconstruction of POCS algorithm,the initial estimation of HRI is obtained through iterative curvature-based interpolation（ICBI） instead of bilinear interpolation.Compared with the traditional POCS algorithm,the experimental results in subjective evaluation and objective evaluation demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.The visual effect is improved significantly and image detail information is preserved better.
