Image super-resolution method based on multi-scale attention convolutional neural network

Abstract

The invention discloses an image super-resolution method based on a multi-scale attention convolutional neural network. By using a multi-scale structure and an attention mechanism, the convolutional neural network can extract rich information in an image, and importance distinguishing can be performed on extracted features, so that important information and interference information can be distinguished in learning of the convolutional neural network, and the learning efficiency is improved. A dense connection mode and a residual connection mode are used, so that the back propagation of the gradient is enhanced, the problem of instability of the gradient is avoided, the reusability of the features is enhanced, the features in the low-resolution image are fully utilized, the training speed of the model is increased, and the parameters of the model are further reduced. Besides, a sub-pixel convolution layer method is used in an image amplification stage, learned pixel values are filled into a high-resolution image according to a certain rule without calculation, so that the operation is concentrated in a small-scale stage, the operation amount is reduced, and the image reconstructionspeed is improved.
