Deep neural networks based on SRGAN single image super-resolution reconstruction can generate more realistic images than CNN-based super-resolution deep neural networks. However, when the network is deeper and more complex, unpleasant artifacts can result. Through a lot of experiments, we can use the ESRGAN model to avoid such problems. When using the ESRGAN model for super-resolution reconstruction, the perceived index of the resulting results does not reach a lower value. There are two reasons for this: (1)ESRGAN does not expand the feature maping. ESRGAN uses 128*128 to obtain the feature information of the image by default, and can't get more image information better. (2) ESRGAN did not re-optimize the generated image. Therefore, we propose ESRGAN-Pro to optimize ESRGAN for the above two aspects, combined with a large amount of training data, and get a better perception index and texture.

Abstract
Deep neural networks based on SRGAN single image super-resolution reconstruction can generate more realistic images than CNN-based super-resolution deep neural networks. However, when the network is deeper and more complex, unpleasant artifacts can result. Through a lot of experiments, we can use the ESRGAN model to avoid such problems. When using the ESRGAN model for super-resolution reconstruction, the perceived index of the resulting results does not reach a lower value. There are two reasons for this: (1)ESRGAN does not expand the feature maping. ESRGAN uses 128*128 to obtain the feature information of the image by default, and can't get more image information better. (2) ESRGAN did not re-optimize the generated image. Therefore, we propose ESRGAN-Pro to optimize ESRGAN for the above two aspects, combined with a large amount of training data, and get a better perception index and texture.
