Optimal Design of Color Laparoscopic Super-Resolution Image Quality Based on Generative Adversarial Networks

The Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) is unsupervised learning enabled to transform according to data characteristics, though this generate unreal data by learning characteristics from data. As past our study, we discussed from the viewpoint of image quality for super-resolution of color laparoscopic image including SRCNN (Super-Resolution Convolutional Neural Network). However, it was not enough to compare to other neural network methods in our discussion. We consider that it is possible to support the medical image diagnosis by measuring whether the difference of both neural network method and image contents is affected or not for image quality. In this paper, first we carried out the objective image quality assessment by designing optimally of color laparoscopic super-resolution image using Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). And then, we discussed for performance between methods comparing to result of SRCNN. On the other hand, from a view of information science, we consider that we need to verify experimentally for affect between network learning effect and generated image, and then to improve method. Therefore, we also discussed relationship between image quality and learning effect in color laparoscopic image generation using SRGAN.
