Summary: | There are lots of image data in the field of remote sensing, most of which have low-resolution due to the limited image sensor. The super-resolution method can effectively restore the low-resolution image to the high-resolution image. However, the existing super-resolution method has both heavy computing burden and number of parameters. For saving costs, we propose the feedback ghost residual dense network (FGRDN), which considers the feedback mechanism as the framework to attain lower features through high-level refining. Further, for feature extraction, we replace the convolution of the residual dense blocks (RDBs) with ghost modules (GMs), which can remove the redundant channels and avoid the increase of parameters along with the network depth. Finally, the spatial and channel attention module (SCM) is employed in the end of the RDB to learn more useful information from features. Compared to other SOTA lightweight algorithms, our proposed algorithm can reach convergences more rapidly with fewer parameters, and the performance of the network can be markedly enhanced on the image texture and object contour reconstruction with better peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity (SSIM).
