Popis: Single Image Super-Resolution (SISR) which aims to recover a high resolution (HR) image from a low-resolution (LR) image has a wide range of medical applications. In this paper, we present a novel Super-Resolution Coarse-to-Fine Network (SRCFN) that recovers the finer texture details strongly and enables precise high-frequency detail to address this challenging task. First, we apply some residuals units to achieve a coarse Super-Resolution result. Second, we add a fine module using the idea of segmentation networks to combine more high-frequency detail into the coarse results for final Super-Resolution results. In addition, we use a combined loss function of Mean square error loss and SSIM loss. Our proposed method applied to medical MRI outperforms previous methods of accuracy (PSNR and SSIM) and visual improvements.
