Abstract

In the background, when low-resolution images are utilized, image identification tasks are frequently hampered. By employing the residual network super-resolution framework, super-resolution techniques are used to enhance image quality, specifically in the detection and identification of small and blurry objects. Improving resolution, decreasing blur, and enhancing object detail are the main goals of the suggested approach. The novelty of this research resides in its application of the activation exponential linear unit (ELU) to the super-resolution residual network (SR-ResNet) framework, which has been demonstrated to enhance image sharpness. The experimental findings demonstrate a substantial enhancement in the quality of the images, as evidenced by the training data's structural similarity index (SSIM) of 0.9989 and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of 91.8455. Furthermore, the validation data demonstrated SSIM 0.9990 and PSNR 92.5520. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of SR-ResNet significantly enhances the capability of the detection system to detect and classify diminutive and opaque entities precisely. The expected and projected enhancement in image quality significantly influences image processing, especially in situations where accuracy and object differentiation are vital.
