Abstract
Due to increasingly complex factors of image degradation, inferring high-frequency details of remote sensing imagery is more difficult compared to ordinary digital photos. This paper proposes an adaptive multi-scale feature fusion network (AMFFN) for remote sensing image super-resolution. Firstly, the features are extracted from the original low-resolution image. Then several adaptive multi-scale feature extraction (AMFE) modules, the squeeze-and-excited and adaptive gating mechanisms are adopted for feature extraction and fusion. Finally, the sub-pixel convolution method is used to reconstruct the high-resolution image. Experiments are performed on three datasets, the key characteristics, such as the number of AMFEs and the gating connection way are studied, and super-resolution of remote sensing imagery of different scale factors are qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed. The results show that our method outperforms the classic methods, such as Super-Resolution Convolutional Neural Network(SRCNN), Efficient Sub-Pixel Convolutional Network (ESPCN), and multi-scale residual CNN(MSRN).
