Abstract

There are two main problems in traditional Image Compressive Sensing (ICS): in sampling aspect,traditional linear sampling methods have some limitations; in reconstruction aspect,optimization-based reconstruc-tion methods are highly time-consuming. Newly proposed ICS Neural Network can successfully deal with the speed problem in reconstruction,but lacks the accuracy of traditional algorithms. To solve this problem,a novel multi-stage ICS network based on residual learning (MSResICS) was proposed. It consists of three sub-networks,namely,sampling sub-network,initial reconstruction sub-network,and image enhancement sub-network. In sampling stage,with the help of residual learning,a nonlinear sampling sub-network was designed,which breaks the limitation of conventional sampling method and retains richer image information in samples. In reconstruction stage,the initial reconstruction sub-network extracts features from samples and obtain an initial reconstructed image of high quality by introducing interpolation convolution. With residual learning and interpolation convolution,a mul-tistage image enhancing sub-network was proposed to further refine the reconstruction image and improve the quality of final result. Extensive simulations show that MSResICS has a better reconstruction accuracy than the existing opti-mal ICS reconstruction methods.
