Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of computer vision remote sensing image super-resolution technology, specifically relating to a remote sensing image super-resolution method, system, and medium based on residual separation attention mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Remote sensing satellite imagery, as a crucial means of Earth observation, is widely used in various fields, including mineral resource development, environmental monitoring, public safety, and military applications. Spatial resolution is considered a key indicator of satellite image quality. However, spaceborne imaging systems are often affected by complex imaging environments, resulting in images with relatively low spatial resolution. Therefore, improving the spatial resolution and image quality of remote sensing satellite images is an important and challenging task in the field of remote sensing image processing.

[0003] Given the unique value of high-quality remote sensing satellite imagery in various application scenarios, Single-Image Super-Resolution (SISR) methods have attracted widespread attention in remote sensing satellite image processing in recent years. Besides leveraging more advanced hardware to improve image quality, Super-Resolution (SR) technology also provides a convenient and effective strategy for enhancing image quality. With the rapid development of satellite photogrammetry technology, the demand for developing efficient and high-precision remote sensing satellite image super-resolution (SR) methods is increasing. To obtain high-quality images, many researchers have adopted convolutional neural network-based techniques to learn the mapping function between low-resolution (LR) and high-resolution (HR) images and have established various SR models, effectively improving image resolution and quality. Liebel et al. first applied Single Image Super-Resolution Using Deep Learning (SRCNN) to satellite image super-resolution. Considering that satellite image SR methods cannot be directly trained using natural images, they used SENTINEL-2 images to generate a remote sensing dataset to relearn the mapping relationship. Lei et al. introduced a multi-branch structural framework (Super-resolution for remote sensing images via a local–global combined network) to learn the network's multi-scale representation capabilities. This framework combines shallow and deep feature maps to facilitate interaction between feature information, thereby better guiding network reconstruction. Qin et al. designed a multi-scale network (Remote sensing image super-resolution using a multi-scale convolutional neural network) based on GoogLeNet. This network uses multi-scale kernels to extract image features and obtains more comprehensive deep features after connecting the features of each channel, thus improving SR performance.

[0004] While deep learning-based super-resolution methods for remote sensing satellite images have achieved some satisfactory results, most current research focuses on improving remote sensing image resolution at smaller sampling factors, primarily by adding an upsampling layer to the network. However, research on reconstruction at high sampling factors remains limited. For example, Pan et al. utilized a backprojection strategy to more comprehensively address the dependency between LR and HR (Super-resolution of a single remote sensing image based on residual dense backprojection networks, RDBPN). Dong et al. proposed a dense sampling framework (Remote sensing image super-resolution using novel dense-sampling networks, DSSR), which reuses upsampling mechanisms to upsample low-dimensional features to study large-scale factor SR reconstruction. Although existing RDBPN and DSSR methods attempt to solve remote sensing satellite image SR at high sampling factors (e.g., ×8) by densely connecting features through upsampling modules, these methods all use the same weight size to learn remote sensing feature maps of different regions, lacking the ability to represent features across feature channels. Furthermore, due to the limited prior information in LR images, predicting local features becomes more challenging under high sampling rates. Additionally, the extra prior information translates to higher computational costs and increased training difficulty, further negatively impacting the subsequent reconstruction process. Therefore, extracting reliable and accurate fine-grained features under high sampling rates and enhancing the expressive power of cross-channel features are particularly important. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an image super-resolution method, system, and medium based on a residual separation attention mechanism, thereby solving the technical problem that existing remote sensing satellite super-resolution reconstruction algorithms have certain limitations in network reconstruction performance and image quality under high sampling multiple conditions.

C The input residual separation attention group obtains a fine remote sensing feature map. The residual separation attention network contains several residual separation attention groups. Each group contains an upsampling module and a residual separation attention module. The upsampling module considers hierarchical prior information, assists the network in the high-resolution feature space, and predicts high-frequency local detail information. The residual separation attention module is used to adaptively explore and learn global structural information in the low-resolution feature space.

The number of output channels is set to c. The value of each part's output channel is... Then, these n parts are merged using an element-wise adder: F Splits =H Sum (Split1, Split2,...,Split n Split n H represents the nth split after the partitioning operation. Sum This indicates an element-wise summation operation, followed by F. Splits After passing through an adaptive average pooling layer and two point convolutional layers, the data is further divided into n splits by a softmax function. Each current split is multiplied by the previous split. Finally, an element-wise adder is used to fuse the multiplied features as the output of the residual separation attention module. The residual separation attention is represented as: F RSA =H Sum (H Ep (Split1, Split′1),...,H Ep (Split n Split′ n H Sum H represents the second element-wise addition operation.

This can be represented as: F1 = H RSAG,m (F C m = 1, m = 2, ..., M, where H RSAG,m(·) represents the m-th residual separation attention group operation. The number of residual separation attention groups is determined by the ablation experiment, and the optimal value is m = 10.

Where U1 = H Up,1 (F C ), H Up,1 This represents the first upsampling operation, and U1 is the output of the first upsampling operation. U2 represents the output of the second upsampling operation. m = 3, ..., M, where This is the feature fusion of the outputs of the (m-1)th and (m-2)th residual attention modules, where concat is the feature fusion operation.

[0023] In some alternative implementations, the loss function L for the entire network H Represented as: L H =λ1L pix +λ2L per +λ3L bec Among them, the weighting coefficients λ1, λ2, and λ3 are used to balance the loss. For pixel domain loss, and This represents the i-th low-resolution remote sensing satellite image and the i-th high-resolution remote sensing satellite image in the dataset; For the loss of the receptive domain, f VGG 54 Here, HRSAN is the feature extraction function of the VGG network, and HRSAN is the output of the residual separation attention network.

The coarse remote sensing image feature map is input into the residual separation attention group to obtain a fine remote sensing image feature map. The residual separation attention network contains several residual separation attention groups, each containing an upsampling module and a residual separation attention module. The upsampling module considers hierarchical prior information, assists the network in the high-resolution feature space, and predicts high-frequency local detail information. The residual separation attention module is used to adaptively explore and learn global structural information in the low-resolution feature space.

[0029] The multi-level feature fusion module gradually fuses feature maps from different levels through dense connections, enabling local attention to interact across feature groups and achieving global attention in the network, thus obtaining more refined remote sensing feature maps.

[0030] The remote sensing image reconstruction module is used to perform convolution operations on the feature-fused remote sensing satellite feature map to reconstruct a high-resolution remote sensing satellite image of the target.
