Abstract:
Single-image super-resolution (SISR) techniques have been developed rapidly with the remarkable progress of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The previous CNNs-based SISR techniques mainly focus on the network design while ignoring the interactions and interdependencies between different dimensions of the features in the middle layers, consequently hindering the powerful learning ability of CNNs. In order to address this problem effectively, a residual triplet attention network (RTAN) for efficient interactions of the feature information is proposed. Specifically, we develop an innovative multiple-nested residual group (MNRG) structure to improve the learning ability for extracting the high-frequency information and train a deeper and more stable network. Furthermore, we present a novel lightweight residual triplet attention module (RTAM) to obtain the cross-dimensional attention weights of the features. The RTAM combines two cross-dimensional interaction blocks (CDIBs) and one spatial attention block (SAB) base on the residual module. Therefore, the RTAM is not only capable of capturing the cross-dimensional interactions and interdependencies of the features, but also utilizing the spatial information of the features. The simulation results and analysis show the superiority of the proposed RTAN over the state-of-the-art SISR networks in terms of both evaluation metrics and visual results.
