Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of image processing and imaging technology, and specifically relates to a lightweight single-image super-resolution reconstruction method based on local and global feature collaborative enhancement perception. Background Technology

[0002] In today's digital age, the demand for image data processing and optimization is growing. Image super-resolution reconstruction technology, as a key means to improve image quality, has received widespread attention. Traditional image super-resolution methods mainly rely on interpolation algorithms, such as bilinear interpolation and bicubic interpolation. Although these methods are computationally simple, they often lead to problems such as blurred image edges and loss of details, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-quality image reconstruction.

[0003] With the development of deep learning technology, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have gradually become the mainstream method in the field of image super-resolution reconstruction. CNNs can effectively extract local features of images by learning from a large number of low-resolution and high-resolution image pairs, thus achieving good super-resolution results. However, CNNs have certain limitations in processing global information, and their capture of long-range dependencies and global structural information in images is insufficient, which to some extent limits further performance improvement. In recent years, the Transformer architecture has achieved great success in the field of natural language processing, and its powerful self-attention mechanism can effectively capture global information and long-range dependencies. This advantage has prompted researchers to introduce Transformers into the field of image super-resolution reconstruction to compensate for the shortcomings of CNNs in global information processing. Transformer-based image super-resolution reconstruction methods model images through self-attention mechanisms, which can recover better global structural and detailed information of images, thus significantly improving super-resolution results. However, with the improvement of model performance, the complexity and computational cost of the model also increase dramatically. In practical applications, especially for resource-constrained scenarios such as mobile devices and embedded systems, these complex models face enormous challenges. Therefore, lightweight network design has become an important research direction in the field of image super-resolution reconstruction. Lightweight networks aim to enable models to run efficiently on resource-constrained devices by optimizing network structure, reducing the number of parameters and computational cost, without significantly reducing model performance. While current super-resolution reconstruction techniques have made some progress in CNN and Transformer-based model design, they still fall short in balancing high performance and lightweight design. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of some existing technologies mentioned above and propose a lightweight single-image super-resolution reconstruction method based on a CNN-Transformer collaborative mechanism. It aims to combine the advantages of CNN and Transformer, while achieving a balance between high performance and low computational cost through innovative network structure design and optimization strategies, thus meeting the image super-resolution reconstruction needs of different application scenarios. This method can effectively utilize the high- and low-frequency cues implicit in low-resolution images to achieve efficient feature fusion and ensure the structural consistency and visual realism of the reconstruction results. This innovative method provides a new solution for the field of single-image super-resolution reconstruction, effectively balancing detail restoration and global structural rationality, and has broad application prospects and significant technical value.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A lightweight single-image super-resolution reconstruction method based on local and global feature collaborative enhancement perception includes the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Acquire low-resolution image

[0008] Step 2: Shallow Feature Extraction: Convolution operations are used to process the low-resolution image to extract shallow features. This process captures the image's basic texture and structural information, laying the foundation for subsequent deep feature extraction. The specific formula is:

[0009]

[0010] in, For the input low-resolution image, This is a 3×3 convolution operation. This is a shallow feature map.

[0011] Step 3: Deep Feature Extraction: Using A cascaded residual local-global cross-integration module and a convolutional operation are used to extract deep features from the shallow feature maps. This process aims to further extract detailed information from the image, especially high-frequency details, to improve the quality of the reconstructed image. The specific extraction method includes the following sub-steps:

[0012] Step 3.1: First, split the input feature map into the first sub-feature map along the channel dimension. Second sub-feature map Then on Simultaneously, 3×3 convolution and multiple difference convolution are performed collaboratively, and the results are summed and output after passing through an activation function. The multiple difference convolution collaborative computation includes parallel operations of central difference convolution, axial difference convolution, vertical difference convolution, and horizontal difference convolution. During the inference phase, 3×3 convolution and multiple difference convolution are combined into a single convolution computation to reduce computational overhead. Subsequently, [the process is repeated]. Max pooling, 1×1 convolution, and activation function processing are performed sequentially. Finally, the outputs of steps (2) and (3) are concatenated, and after 1×1 convolution, they are added to the original input feature map to enhance the expressive power of the features.

[0013] Step 3.2: To enhance the model's ability to interact across windows, this invention borrows the idea of ​​the Swing Transformer and introduces a Hybrid Attention Module (HAB) in the Local-Global Cross-Integration Module (LGCIM). The HAB works collaboratively through parallel window multi-head self-attention (W-MSA) and shifted window multi-head self-attention (SW-MSA) branches to explicitly capture the structural similarity of local regions and extract global information from the feature maps. Given input features, the HAB first divides them into two parts along the channel dimension, inputting them into the W-MSA branch and the SW-MSA branch for processing, respectively. The output feature maps of the two branches are then concatenated along the channel dimension, layer normalized (LN), and added to the original input (i.e., adding residual connections) to obtain intermediate features. .then, The data is fed into a multilayer perceptron (MLP) layer. The MLP output is then normalized (LN) and compared with... The summation (i.e., adding residual connections again) finally yields the output feature map of HAB. .in, and These represent the portions of the input feature map after partitioning into the W-MSA and SW-MSA branches, respectively. This design of the present invention can significantly improve the model's ability to perceive global information while maintaining computational efficiency, thereby achieving better performance in image super-resolution reconstruction tasks.

[0014] Step 3.3: Global Information-Guided Grid Attention Module (GG-GAB) or Structure-Guided Global Attention Module (SG-GAB): These modules aim to explicitly model the similarity across image regions with linear computational complexity, thereby improving the model's ability to perceive global information while maintaining computational efficiency. The GG-GAB module focuses on global information through sparsely sampled grid points, while the SG-GAB module utilizes adaptive average pooling to map the structural information of image patches to a low-dimensional space, where self-attention is computed. The following is a detailed description of these two modules:

[0015] The GG-GAB module focuses on global information through sparsely sampled grid points, its core being the efficient capture of similarities between different regions in an image. The specific steps are as follows: First, layer normalization is performed on the input: The input feature map is processed by layer normalization to stabilize the training process and improve the model's generalization ability. Next, grid partitioning is performed: The feature map is divided into multiple small blocks according to a preset grid interval, each block containing information about a local region. Then, global interaction features are generated; for each grid block, its maximum and average values ​​are extracted, and these features are concatenated and passed through a convolutional layer to generate global interaction features. This process captures global information between different grid blocks. Subsequently, multi-head self-attention is calculated. Based on the global interaction features, the attention weights of each grid block are calculated, and these weights are used to perform a weighted summation of the value vectors to obtain the attention features of each grid block. This process allows the model to pass information between different grid blocks, enhancing global perception. Finally, grid inverse operation and output are performed: The attention features of all grid blocks are restored to their original size and residually connected with the input feature map. Finally, the output of the module is obtained through further processing by a multilayer perceptron (MLP). The GG-GAB module focuses on global information through sparse sampling, avoiding the problem of computational complexity increasing with the square of the image size in traditional global self-attention mechanisms. This significantly improves the model's ability to perceive the overall structure of the image while maintaining high computational efficiency.

[0016] The SG-GAB module maps the structural information of image patches to a low-dimensional space using adaptive average pooling, and calculates self-attention within this space. Its core function is to efficiently capture global structural similarity. The specific steps are as follows: First, layer normalization is performed on the input feature map to stabilize the training process and improve the model's generalization ability. Next, window partitioning is performed, dividing the feature map into multiple non-overlapping window blocks, each containing information about a local region. Then, multi-scale structural feature extraction is performed; for each window block, multi-scale structural features are extracted using adaptive average pooling. These features reflect the structural information of the window block at different scales. Then, these multi-scale features are concatenated and compressed to obtain the structural statistics of each window block. Global attention is calculated based on the compressed structural statistics, calculating global attention weights, and using these weights to perform a weighted summation of the value matrix to obtain the global attention features. This process allows the model to efficiently capture global structural similarity in a low-dimensional space. Finally, the output is obtained: the calculated global attention features are residually connected to the input feature map, and then further processed by a multilayer perceptron (MLP) to obtain the module's output. The SG-GAB module efficiently computes global attention in a low-dimensional space through adaptive average pooling and multi-scale feature extraction, thereby significantly improving the model's ability to perceive the global structure of an image while maintaining computational efficiency.

[0017] Step 3.4: Based on the high-frequency feature map and low-frequency feature map obtained in Steps 3.1 and 3.2, first, the high-frequency feature map... Low-frequency characteristics Addition generates initial features Then on Split along the channel into For each subgraph, a two-dimensional discrete cosine transform (2D-DCT) is performed to extract frequency components. The frequency components are then concatenated and processed through a fully connected layer and an activation function to generate channel weights. At the same time, for Perform global average pooling and max pooling on the channel, and then concatenate the results to generate spatial weights via convolutional layers and activation functions. .Will and Generate an initial spatial importance graph by multiplying channel by channel. Subsequently, on and Perform channel shuffling and grouped convolution to generate the final spatial weights. Finally, the modulation feature is calculated according to the formula = Weighted summation. The modulation characteristics are then compared with... , After addition, the features are output through convolution.

[0018] Step 4: Image Reconstruction: Shallow and deep feature maps are fused through convolution and subpixel convolution operations and upsampled to obtain the super-resolution reconstruction result. This process integrates the extracted features to generate the final high-resolution image. Advantages and positive effects of the present invention

[0019] This invention achieves lightweight single-image super-resolution reconstruction by synergistically enhancing local and global features. Specifically, the EDHFB module effectively extracts high-frequency detail features, the HAB module captures local and global information, the GG-GAB and SG-GAB modules explicitly model cross-region similarity of the image with linear computational complexity, and the FAFM module dynamically adjusts the spatial weights of each channel, thereby enhancing high-frequency details while maintaining low-frequency structural consistency.

Finally, the outputs of steps (2) and (3) are concatenated, and after 1×1 convolution, they are added to the original input feature map to enhance the expressive power of the features.

[0040] Step 3.2: The hybrid attention module in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 3As shown, to enhance the model's ability to interact across windows, this invention borrows the idea of ​​the Swing Transformer and introduces a Hybrid Attention Module (HAB) in the Local-Global Cross-Integration Module (LGCIM). The HAB works collaboratively through parallel window multi-head self-attention (W-MSA) and shifted window multi-head self-attention (SW-MSA) branches to explicitly capture the structural similarity of local regions and extract global information from the feature maps. Given input features, the HAB first divides them into two parts along the channel dimension, inputting them into the W-MSA and SW-MSA branches for processing, respectively. The output feature maps of the two branches are then concatenated along the channel dimension, layer normalized (LN), and added to the original input (i.e., adding residual connections) to obtain intermediate features. .then, The data is fed into a multilayer perceptron (MLP) layer.

This design of the present invention can significantly improve the model's ability to perceive global information while maintaining computational efficiency, thereby achieving better performance in image super-resolution reconstruction tasks.

[0041] Step 3.3: Global Information-Guided Grid Attention Module (GG-GAB) or Structure-Guided Global Attention Module (SG-GAB): These modules aim to explicitly model the similarity across image regions with linear computational complexity, thereby improving the model's ability to perceive global information while maintaining computational efficiency. The GG-GAB module focuses on global information through sparsely sampled grid points, while the SG-GAB module utilizes adaptive average pooling to map the structural information of image patches to a low-dimensional space, where self-attention is computed. The following is a detailed description of these two modules:

[0042] The structure of the globally information-guided grid attention module in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, this attention mechanism is as follows Figure 6 As shown, the GG-GAB module focuses on global information through sparsely sampled grid points, and its core function is to efficiently capture the similarity between different regions in an image.

[0043] The specific steps are as follows: First, layer normalization is performed on the input: The input feature map is processed by layer normalization to stabilize the training process and improve the model's generalization ability. Next, grid partitioning is performed: The feature map is divided into multiple small blocks according to a preset grid interval, each block containing information about a local region. Then, global interaction features are generated; that is, for each grid block, its maximum and average value features are extracted, and these features are concatenated and passed through a convolutional layer to generate global interaction features. This process can capture global information between different grid blocks. Subsequently, multi-head self-attention is calculated. Based on the global interaction features, the attention weights of each grid block are calculated, and these weights are used to perform a weighted summation of the value vectors to obtain the attention features of each grid block. This process allows the model to pass information between different grid blocks, enhancing global perception capabilities. Finally, grid inverse operation and output are performed: The attention features of all grid blocks are restored to their original size and residually connected with the input feature map. Finally, the output of the module is obtained through further processing by a multilayer perceptron (MLP). The GG-GAB module focuses on global information through sparse sampling, avoiding the problem of computational complexity increasing with the square of the image size in traditional global self-attention mechanisms. This significantly improves the model's ability to perceive the overall structure of the image while maintaining high computational efficiency.

[0044] The structure of the structure-guided global attention module in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, this attention mechanism is as follows Figure 7 As shown. The SG-GAB module maps the structural information of image patches to a low-dimensional space through adaptive average pooling, and calculates self-attention in this space. Its core is to efficiently capture global structural similarity.

[0045] The specific steps are as follows: First, layer normalization is performed on the input feature map to stabilize the training process and improve the model's generalization ability. Next, window partitioning is performed, dividing the feature map into multiple non-overlapping window blocks, each containing information about a local region. Then, multi-scale structural feature extraction is performed; for each window block, multi-scale structural features are extracted using adaptive average pooling. These features reflect the structural information of the window block at different scales. Then, these multi-scale features are concatenated and compressed to obtain the structural statistics of each window block. Global attention is calculated based on the compressed structural statistics, calculating global attention weights, and using these weights to perform a weighted summation of the value matrix to obtain the global attention features. This process allows the model to efficiently capture global structural similarity in a low-dimensional space. Finally, the output is obtained: the calculated global attention features are residually connected to the input feature map, and then further processed by a multilayer perceptron (MLP) to obtain the module's output. The SG-GAB module efficiently computes global attention in a low-dimensional space through adaptive average pooling and multi-scale feature extraction, thereby significantly improving the model's ability to perceive the global structure of an image while maintaining computational efficiency.

[0046] Step 3.4: The frequency-driven channel-specific attention mechanism in the frequency-aware fusion module of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, based on the high-frequency feature map and low-frequency feature map obtained in steps 3.1 and 3.2, the high-frequency feature map is first...

[0048] This embodiment uses bicubic interpolation to obtain the corresponding low-resolution image from the original high-resolution image. The training set images are randomly rotated. , , Alternatively, the images can be horizontally flipped and then randomly cropped into 64x64 pixel blocks.

[0050] In this invention, a low-resolution image is first acquired as input for super-resolution reconstruction. Then, convolutional operations are used to extract shallow features from the image, capturing basic texture and structural information. Subsequently, multiple cascaded residual local-global cross-integration modules are used to further mine deep features of the image.
