基于卷积神经网络与小波变换的医学图像超分辨率算法复现

前些天发现了一个巨牛的人工智能学习网站，通俗易懂，风趣幽默，忍不住分享一下给大家，觉得好请收藏。点击跳转到网站。

1. 引言

医学图像超分辨率技术在临床诊断和治疗规划中具有重要意义。高分辨率的医学图像能够提供更丰富的细节信息，帮助医生做出更准确的诊断。近年来，深度学习技术在图像超分辨率领域取得了显著进展。本文将复现一种结合卷积神经网络(CNN)、小波变换和自注意力机制的医学图像超分辨率算法。

2. 相关工作

2.1 传统超分辨率方法

传统的超分辨率方法主要包括基于插值的方法（如双三次插值）、基于重建的方法和基于学习的方法。这些方法在医学图像处理中都有一定应用，但往往难以处理复杂的退化模型和保持图像细节。

2.2 深度学习方法

近年来，基于深度学习的超分辨率方法取得了突破性进展。SRCNN首次将CNN应用于超分辨率任务，随后出现了FSRCNN、ESPCN、VDSR等改进网络。更先进的网络如EDSR、RCAN等通过残差学习和通道注意力机制进一步提升了性能。

2.3 小波变换在超分辨率中的应用

小波变换能够将图像分解为不同频率的子带，有利于分别处理高频细节和低频内容。一些研究将小波变换与深度学习结合，如Wavelet-SRNet、DWSR等，取得了不错的效果。

2.4 自注意力机制

自注意力机制能够捕捉图像中的长距离依赖关系，在超分辨率任务中有助于恢复全局结构。一些工作如SAN、RNAN等将自注意力机制引入超分辨率网络。

3. 方法设计

本文实现的网络结构结合了CNN、小波变换和自注意力机制的优势，整体架构如图1所示。

3.1 网络总体结构

网络采用编码器-解码器结构，主要包含以下组件：

1. 小波分解层：将输入低分辨率图像分解为多频子带
2. 特征提取模块：包含多个残差小波注意力块(RWAB)
3. 自注意力模块：捕捉全局依赖关系
4. 小波重构层：从高频子带重建高分辨率图像

3.2 残差小波注意力块(RWAB)

RWAB是网络的核心模块，结构如图2所示，包含：

1. 小波卷积层：使用小波变换进行特征提取
2. 通道注意力机制：自适应调整各通道特征的重要性
3. 残差连接：缓解梯度消失问题

3.3 自注意力模块

自注意力模块计算所有位置的特征相关性，公式如下：

Attention(Q,K,V) = softmax(QK^T/√d)V

其中Q、K、V分别是通过线性变换得到的查询、键和值矩阵，d是特征维度。

3.4 损失函数

采用L1损失和感知损失的组合：

L = λ1L1 + λ2Lperc

其中L1是像素级L1损失，Lperc是基于VGG特征的感知损失。
