Abstract
Computer tomography technology is widely used in geological exploration because it is a nondestructive and three-dimensional imaging method that can be integrated with computer simulation. However, the large-scale application of the computer tomography technique is limited by economic costs and time consumption. Therefore, it is challenging and intractable to indicate the pore structure characteristics of rock. To address this issue, a super-resolution reconstruction algorithm based on convolutional neural networks, residual learning, and attention mechanism was proposed to generate super-resolution images in this study. This algorithm was applied to the reconstruction of carbonate rock and sandstone. The performance of two-dimensional image reconstruction was evaluated by quantitative extraction and qualitative visualization. The results from experiments indicate that the built model performs well on different upscaling factors and is superior to the existing super-resolution approaches based on convolutional neural network.
