Abstract:

Super-resolution reconstruction technology has important scientific significance and application value in the field of image processing by performing image restoration processing on one or more low-resolution images to improve image spatial resolution. Based on the SCSR algorithm and VDSR network, in order to further improve the image reconstruction quality, an image super-resolution reconstruction algorithm combined with multi-residual network and multi-feature SCSR(MRMFSCSR) is proposed. Firstly, at the sparse reconstruction stage, according to the characteristics of image blocks, our algorithm extracts the contour features of non-flat blocks by NSCT transform, extracts the texture features of flat blocks by Gabor transform, then obtains the reconstructed high-resolution (HR) images by using sparse models. Secondly, according to improve the VDSR deep network and introduce the feature fusion idea, the multi-residual network structure (MR) is designed. The reconstructed HR image obtained by the sparse reconstruction stage is used as the input of the MR network structure to optimize the high-frequency detail residual information. Finally, we can obtain a higher quality super-resolution image compared with the SCSR algorithm and the VDSR algorithm.
