Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the existing neural network-based image super-resolution technology has large training redundancy and is only applicable to a single-scale problem, resulting in a sharp increase in the amount of calculations, causing computational waste, and limiting its practical application.

Embodiment 1

[0062] figure 1 The main flowchart of the method is shown, including the following steps:

[0063] Step S110, preprocessing the input image.

[0064] Preprocessing involves upscaling the input image.

Embodiment 2

[0080] The above describes how to use a convolutional network to convert a low-resolution image into a high-resolution image. In the current deep network training, since it is necessary to use the surrounding pixels to infer the central pixel, each time a convolutional layer of the convolutional network is added , the size of the feature map is reduced. For example: the size of the input image is (n+1)x(n+1), and when the receptive field of the network is nxn, the output image will be 1x1, where the receptive field refers to the output characteristics of each layer of the convolutional neural network The size of the area mapped by the pixels on the feature map on the original image.

[0081] This processing method prevents the pixels on the border of the image from using the surrounding pixels. The current processing method is to cut the border pixels. This is obviously not suitable when the axial area of ​​​​the image is very large, because at this time, after cutting the su...

Embodiment 3

The following describes the training method of the convolutional network used in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, such as figure 2 shown, including the following steps:

[0086] Step S210, building a sample training database;

[0087] The sample training library includes multiple sets of training samples, and each set of training samples includes a low-resolution picture x and a high-resolution picture y corresponding to the low-resolution picture x.

[0088] Step S220, read a set of low-resolution pictures and their corresponding high-resolution pictures from the sample training database.

[0089] Step S230, calculating the loss function according to the low-resolution picture and the high-resolution picture; including the following sub-steps:

Abstract

The invention discloses a picture super-resolution method. The method comprises the following steps of: preprocessing an input picture; extracting and expressing a pixel block of the input picture byusing a convolutional network; obtaining an image detail difference value of the input picture by using the convolutional network; and realizing picture reconstruction by using a convolutional layer.According to the picture super-resolution method, the convolutional network is trained to only learn picture details, so that the information redundancy is decreased; a gradient is controlled in a certain range by adoption of gradient shearing, so that gradient explosion is prevented; and furthermore, a boundary filling operation is carried out on the periphery of the input picture, so that edge pixels of the picture also can correctly learn the picture details, and pooling layers which are commonly used in super-resolution calculation can be removed, thereby ensuring the consistency between network input and output dimensionalities.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of image processing, in particular to an image super-resolution method and system thereof. Background technique [0002] Super-resolution technology refers to converting low-resolution (Low Resolution, LR) images into high-resolution (High Resolution, HR) images through certain algorithms. Because high-resolution images have higher pixel density, more detailed information, and more delicate picture quality, they are generally welcomed by people. [0003] The super-resolution technology of a single image is to use a low-resolution image and use a conversion algorithm to convert it into a high-resolution image. This kind of conversion is widely used in the field of computer vision, such as the field of security monitoring, medical field, image transmission field, etc., when it is necessary to see more detailed information in the image, this conversion technology will be used. [0004] Existing transformation...
