摘要

Coal rock image acquisition often suffers from poor quality due to challenges such as inadequate lighting, noise, and sensor limitations. To address these issues, we introduce ISTFormer, a lightweight transformer-based approach for coal rock image super-resolution. ISTFormer integrates a global permuted self-attention block with a local convolutional block, leveraging iterative up-and-down sampling to extract comprehensive features from low-resolution images. Experiments on benchmark datasets and a custom coal rock dataset, CD-188, demonstrate ISTFormer’s superiority over existing lightweight super-resolution methods, achieving state-of-the-art results with improved PSNR and SSIM scores. By open-sourcing our algorithm’s code and datasets, we aim to foster further developments in this field. This work presents a significant step toward enhancing coal rock image quality for improved identification and classification accuracy.
