This research focuses on the topic of image super-resolution based on a deep network prior. This research uses a U-Net-like network structure and modifies the network's hyperparameters, such as the number of downsamples, to find a model with better performance using a control variable approach. Then this best model was applied to different classes of images, and the performance of the network model was investigated by measuring the effect of super-resolution on these classes of images. This research hopes to understand the network structure's role on image super-resolution through such exploratory experiments.
The rapid, accurate, and automated extraction of surface water is highly important for conducting reliable and necessary surface water monitoring endeavors. Classification methods commonly exhibit high precision but also have a low degree of automation or narrow scope of application; commonly used water index methods are highly efficient, but they easily mistake other targets with similar spectral characteristics for surface water. Simultaneously achieving precision, efficiency, and automation within a single method is a challenge. To address these problems, we simplify the normalized different water index (NDWI) to a band ratio index and traverse the neighborhood of the extreme in the histogram to determine two peaks and one trough between the peaks in the two-mode method, and we then compare the middle value of the two peaks with the value of the trough to confirm the threshold of the surface water. We use the modified two-mode method to extract Poyang Lake from four Chinese Gaofen (GF)-1 remote sensing images corresponding to different seasons, and then compare the results with those obtained by the NDWI index and the maximization of interclass variance (OTSU) method. The comparison shows that our method has higher and more stable accuracy, especially during the drought period for Poyang Lake. However, polluted water, narrow rivers, bridges, and residential areas along the lake are sometimes mistakenly extracted. Finally, the advantages and prospects of the proposed method are discussed.
