Abstract
The existing astronomical image restoration and superresolution reconstruction methods have problems such as low efficiency and poor results when dealing with images possessing large fields of view. Furthermore, these methods typically only handle fixed-size images and require step-by-step processing, which is inconvenient. In this paper, a neural network called Res&RecNet is proposed for the restoration and superresolution reconstruction of astronomical images with large fields of view for direct imaging instruments. This network performs feature extraction, feature correction, and progressive generation to achieve image restoration and superresolution reconstruction. The network is constructed using fully convolutional layers, allowing it to handle images of any size. The network can be trained using small samples and can perform image restoration and superresolution reconstruction in an end-to-end manner, resulting in high efficiency. Experimental results show that the network is highly effective in terms of processing astronomical images with complex scenes, generating image restoration results that improve the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index measure (SSIM) by 4.69 (dB)/0.073 and superresolution reconstruction results that improve the PSNR and SSIM by 1.97 (dB)/0.077 over those of the best existing algorithms, respectively.
期刊介绍:
The Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (PASP), the technical journal of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP), has been published regularly since 1889, and is an integral part of the ASP''s mission to advance the science of astronomy and disseminate astronomical information. The journal provides an outlet for astronomical results of a scientific nature and serves to keep readers in touch with current astronomical research. It contains refereed research and instrumentation articles, invited and contributed reviews, tutorials, and dissertation summaries.
