Aiming at the problems of texture distortion and fuzzy details in the existing image super-resolution reconstruction methods, a super-resolution reconstruction network based on multi-channel attention mechanism is proposed. The texture extraction module designs an extremely lightweight multi-channel attention module in the network structure. Combined with one-dimensional convolution, it realizes cross-channel information interaction, focusing on important feature information; The texture restoration module introduces dense remaining blocks to restore some high-frequency texture details, improve the model performance, and generate high-quality reconstructed images. The proposed network can not only effectively improve the visual effect of the image, but the results on the benchmark data set CUFED5 are similar to the classic super-resolution (SRCNN) reconstruction method based on convolutional neural network. The peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structure are similar. Degrees (SSIM) increased by 1.76dB and 0.062 respectively. Experimental results show that the designed network can improve the accuracy of texture migration and can effectively improve the quality of the generated image.
