The combination method of local orientation estimation-based image patch clustering and principal component analysis is used to obtain a series of geometric dictionaries of different orientations in the dictionary learning process. Subsequently, the dictionary of the nearest orientation is adaptively assigned to each of the input patches that need to be represented in the sparse coding process. Moreover, the consistency of gradients is further incorporated into the basic framework to make more substantial progress in preserving more fine edges and producing sharper results. Two groups of experiments on different types of natural images indicate that the proposed method outperforms some state-of- the-art counterparts in terms of both numerical indicators and visual quality.展开更多

F...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.展开更多

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.展开更多

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.展开更多

However, many current image SR methods face the contradiction of detail recovery and artifact suppression. We propose a multi-resolution dictionary learning(MRDL) model to solve this contradiction, and give a fast single image SR method based on the MRDL model. To obtain the MRDL model, we first extract multi-scale patches by using our proposed adaptive patch partition method(APPM). The APPM divides images into patches of different sizes according to their detail richness. Then, the multiresolution dictionary pairs, which contain structural primitives of various resolutions, can be trained from these multi-scale patches.Owing to the MRDL strategy, our SR algorithm not only recovers details well, with less jag and noise, but also significantly improves the computational efficiency. Experimental results validate that our algorithm performs better than other SR methods in evaluation metrics and visual perception.展开更多

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.

文摘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.

文摘Polarized hyperspectral imaging,which has been widely studied worldwide,can obtain four-dimensional data including polarization,spectral,and spatial domains.To simplify data acquisition,compressive sensing theory is utilized in each domain.The polarization information represented by the four Stokes parameters currently requires at least two compressions.This work achieves full-Stokes single compression by introducing deep learning reconstruction.The four Stokes parameters are modulated by a quarter-wave plate(QWP)and a liquid crystal tunable filter(LCTF)and then compressed into a single light intensity detected by a complementary metal oxide semiconductor(CMOS).Data processing involves model training and polarization reconstruction.The reconstruction model is trained by feeding the known Stokes parameters and their single compressions into a deep learning framework.Unknown Stokes parameters can be reconstructed from a single compression using the trained model.Benefiting from the acquisition simplicity and reconstruction efficiency,this work well facilitates the development and application of polarized hyperspectral imaging.

文摘In recent years,deep learning has achieved great success in the field of image processing.In the single image super-resolution(SISR)task,the convolutional neural network(CNN)extracts the features of the image through deeper layers,and has achieved impressive results.In this paper,we propose a single image super-resolution model based on Adaptive Deep Residual named as ADR-SR,which uses the Input Output Same Size(IOSS)structure,and releases the dependence of upsampling layers compared with the existing SR methods.Specifically,the key element of our model is the Adaptive Residual Block(ARB),which replaces the commonly used constant factor with an adaptive residual factor.The experiments prove the effectiveness of our ADR-SR model,which can not only reconstruct images with better visual effects,but also get better objective performances.
