techniques have been proposed for this purpose and deep con

recent years. However, we observe that most CNN-based SR meth

present an inception module to fuse local multilevel features, so as
to provide richer information for reconstructing detailed textures. In
order to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a large
number of experiments are performed on UCMerced-LandUse data

the current state-of-the-art methods in both visual effects and
