Image Super-Resolution Using Lightweight Multiscale Residual Dense Network

Abstract

The current super-resolution methods cannot fully exploit the global and local information of the original low-resolution image, resulting in loss of some information. In order to solve the problem, we propose a multiscale residual dense network (MRDN) for image super-resolution. This network is constructed based on the residual dense network. It can integrate the multiscale information of the image and avoid losing too much information in the deep level of the network, while extracting more information under different receptive fields. In addition, in order to reduce the redundancy of the network parameters of MRDN, we further develop a lightweight parameter method and deploy it at different scales. This method can not only reduce the redundancy of network parameters but also enhance the nonlinear mapping ability of the network at different scales. Thus, it can better learn and fit the feature information of the original image and recover the satisfactory super-resolution image. Extensive experiments are conducted, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Diagnosing Melanomas in Dermoscopy Images Using Deep Learning

“…The theoretical underpinnings of the method are laid out and described in this subsection. Among these transfer learning pre-trained deep models is Inception-v3 [11,12], which builds on the design of its predecessors Inception-v1 [34,35] and Inception-v2 [36,37]. ImageNet datasets [38,39] have been used to train the Inception-v3 model, which then has been utilized to recognize a hundred distinct classes.…”

Squeezing in the Difference of the Fields in Degenerate Four-and Five-wave Interaction Processes

“…More recently Mukherjee et al [49] have reported the idea that sum-and-difference squeezing is possible in harmonic generation processes. Giri et al [50] have pointed out sum squeezing in frequency up conversion process and Mishra et al [51] have given the concept of the generation of sum-and difference-squeezing by the beam splitter having third-order nonlinear material.…”
