A cross-modal high-resolution image generation approach based on cloud-terminal collaboration for low-altitude intelligent network

The advancement of digitization and automation in Low Altitude Intelligent Networking (LAIN) is constrained by limited computational resources and the absence of a dedicated modal transformation mechanism, affecting the performance of latency-sensitive missions. This study addresses these challenges by proposing a Downscaling Reconstruction Multi-scale Locally Focused Generative Adversarial Network (DR-MFGAN) with Federated Learning (FL). This integration employs wavelet transform downscaling and zero-shot residual learning techniques to create noise-suppressed image pairs, ultimately facilitating high-quality image reconstruction. The core network structure is composed of multidimensional residual blocks and generative confrontation network, and feature extraction is further enhanced through cross channel attention mechanism. Finally, distributed training based on Federated Learning ensures the training effectiveness of nodes with small data volumes.Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements: an 18.18% reduction in Mean Squared Error (MSE), a 33.52% increase in Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), and a 39.54% improvement in Learned Perceptual Image Patch Similarity (LPIPS). The edge terminal can provide high-resolution imagery with limited data, achieving precise cross-modal transformations. This approach enhances LAIN capabilities, addressing computational and transformation challenges to support critical latency-sensitive missions.
