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.

Resolution enhancement of a given video sequence is known as video super-resolution. We propose an end-to-end trainable video super-resolution method as an extension of the recently developed edge-informed single image super-resolution algorithm. A two-stage adversarial-based convolutional neural network that incorporates temporal information along with the current frame's structural information will be used. The edge information in each frame along with optical flow technique for motion estimation among frames will be applied. Promising results on validation datasets will be presented.

In this correspondence, we propose a novel image resolution enhancement algorithm based on discretewavelet transform (DWT), stationary wavelet transform (SWT) and sparse signal recovery of the inputimage. The nonlocal means filter is employed in the preliminary denoising stage of the proposed method.The denoised input low resolution (LR) image is then decomposed into different frequency subbands byemploying DWT and SWT simultaneously. In parallel, the denoised LR image is subjected to a sparse signalrepresentation based interpolation. All the estimated high frequency subbands as well as the sparseinterpolated LR image are fused to generate a high resolution (HR) image by using inverse discrete wavelettransform (IDWT). Experimental results on various test images show the superiority of our method over theconventional and state-of-the-art single image super- resolution (SR) techniques in achieving the real timeperformance.

Single-image super-resolution (SISR) is a resolution enhancement technique and is known as an ill-posed problem. Motivated by the idea of pan-sharping, we propose a novel variational model for SISR. The structure tensor of the input low-resolution image is exploited to obtain the gradient of an imaginary panchromatic image. Then, by constraining the gradient consistency, the image edges and details can be better recovered during the procedure of restoration of high-resolution images. Besides, we resort to the nonlocal sparse and low-rank regularization of image patches to further improve the super-resolution performance. The proposed variational model is efficiently solved by ADMM-based algorithm. We do extensive experiments in natural images and remote sensing images with different magnifying factors and compare our method with three classical super-resolution methods. The subjective visual impression and quantitative evaluation indexes both show that our method can obtain higher-quality results.
