Abstract:

In order to reduce the cost of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) hardware upgrades, super-resolution (SR) based on deep learning of aerial images is studied. SR based on sparse convolutional neural network (SRSCNN) is proposed to compress network structure and reduce the training time by selectively screening the weights of the neural network connections. The experimental results show that the method can effectively shorten the network learning time required under conditions of superiority of the reconstruction effect and computing time. Meanwhile, a saliency-map-based image quality assessment method is designed, which is more suitable for the follow-up processing of aerial image.

Key words: image super-resolution (SR), deep learning, convolutional neural network, aerial image, image quality assessment
