Aiming at the problems of traditional image super-resolution reconstruction algorithms in the image reconstruction process, such as small receptive field, insufficient multi-scale feature extraction, and easy loss of image feature information, a super-resolution reconstruction algorithm of multi-scale dilated convolution network based on dilated convolution is proposed in this paper. First, the algorithm extracts features from the same input image through the dilated convolution kernels of different receptive fields to obtain feature maps with different scales; then, through the residual attention dense block, further obtain the features of the original low resolution images, local residual connections are added to fuse multi-scale feature information between multiple channels, and residual nested networks and jump connections are used at the same time to speed up deep network convergence and avoid network degradation problems. Finally, deep network extraction features, and it is fused with input features to increase the nonlinear expression ability of the network to enhance the super-resolution reconstruction effect. Experimental results show that compared with Bicubic, SRCNN, ESPCN, VDSR, DRCN, LapSRN, MemNet, and DSRNet algorithms on the Set5, Set14, BSDS100, and Urban100 test sets, the proposed algorithm has improved peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity, and reconstructed images. The visual effect is better.
