Deep Learning for Single Image Super-Resolution: A Brief Review
Single image super-resolution (SISR) is a notoriously challenging ill-posed
problem, which aims to obtain a high-resolution (HR) output from one of its
low-resolution (LR) versions. To solve the SISR problem, recently powerful deep
learning algorithms have been employed and achieved the state-of-the-art
performance. In this survey, we review representative deep learning-based SISR
methods, and group them into two categories according to their major
contributions to two essential aspects of SISR: the exploration of efficient
neural network architectures for SISR, and the development of effective
optimization objectives for deep SISR learning. For each category, a baseline
is firstly established and several critical limitations of the baseline are
summarized. Then representative works on overcoming these limitations are
presented based on their original contents as well as our critical
understandings and analyses, and relevant comparisons are conducted from a
variety of perspectives. Finally we conclude this review with some vital
current challenges and future trends in SISR leveraging deep learning
algorithms.Comment: Accepted by IEEE Transactions on Multimedia (TMM

Recognition of Microseismic and Blasting Signals in Mines Based on Convolutional Neural Network and Stockwell Transform
The microseismic monitoring signals which need to be determined in mines include those caused by both rock bursts and by blasting. The blasting signals must be separated from the microseismic signals in order to extract the information needed for the correct location of the source and for determining the blast mechanism. The use of a convolutional neural network (CNN) is a viable approach to extract these blast characteristic parameters automatically and to achieve the accuracy needed in the signal recognition. The Stockwell Transform (or S-Transform) has excellent two-dimensional time-frequency characteristics and thus to obtain the microseismic signal and blasting vibration signal separately, the microseismic signal has been converted in this work into a two-dimensional image format by use of the S-Transform, following which it is recognized by using the CNN. The sample data given in this paper are used for model training, where the training sample is an image containing three RGB color channels. The training time can be decreased by means of reducing the picture size and thus reducing the number of training steps used. The optimal combination of parameters can then be obtained after continuously updating the training parameters. When the image size is 180 × 140 pixels, it has been shown that the test accuracy can reach 96.15% and that it is feasible to classify separately the blasting signal and the microseismic signal based on using the S-Transform and the CNN model architecture, where the training parameters were designed by synthesizing LeNet-5 and AlexNet
