Description
Summary:Image reconnaissance systems are critical in modern applications, where the ability to accurately detect and identify objects is crucial. However, distortions in real-world operational conditions, such as motion blur, noise, and compression artifacts, often degrade image quality, affecting the performance of detection systems. This study analyzed the impact of super-resolution (SR) technology, in particular, the Real-ESRGAN model, on the performance of a detection model under disturbed conditions. The methodology involved training and evaluating the Faster R-CNN detection model with original and modified data sets. The results showed that SR significantly improved detection precision and mAP in most interference scenarios. These findings underscore SR’s potential to improve imaging systems while identifying key areas for future development and further research.
