The proposed technique employs a CycleGAN architecture and uses a ResNet as an encoder in the generator along with an attention module and a novel loss function. The network is trained on a multi-resolution thermal image dataset acquired with three different thermal sensors. Results report better performance benchmarking results on the 2nd CVPR-PBVS-2021 thermal image super-resolution challenge than state-of-the-art methods. The code of this work is available online.", optnote="MSIAU;", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=3688), last updated on Tue, 25 Apr 2023 15:33:39 +0200", doi="10.3390/s22062254", file=":http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/RSV2022b.pdf:PDF" }
