It includes an image reconstruction algorithm and a verification algorithm; the image reconstruction algorithm is based on an adversarial network and is trained using a large number of image pairs from low resolution to high resolution to improve the generalization ability of the model; the algorithm includes a generator, a sharpening filter and a discriminator. The generator is responsible for generating high-resolution images from low-resolution images, and the sharpening filter enhances the edges and clarity of the image through the Laplace operator, while the discriminator is used to distinguish between the image processed by the sharpening filter and the real image. This process improves the quality of image reconstruction through continuous training and optimization.

The smaller the distance, the higher the feature similarity. The similarity and quality of the images are evaluated by comparing the feature matching and Euclidean distance between the reconstructed image and the original high-resolution image.

[0029] The user interface provides users with an intuitive operating platform for inputting commands, displaying processed images, and providing feedback and control; users can use the interface to operate high-resolution images processed by the verification algorithm, such as zooming and panning, and compare the original image with the processed image to intuitively evaluate the imaging results.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
