Auto-Encoder Based Image Enhancement for Narrow-bandwidth Radio Images

Narrow-bandwidth Radio 이미지를 위한 자동 인코더 기반 이미지 향상

Image transmission by means of telecommunications is an essential task for information sharing. For considerable distances, wireless channels can be utilized and tuned for proper uses of image data exchange. However, the disturbances that a radio wave encounter during transmission causes partial or total loss of information. Result of such communications is a distorted image at the receiver's end. This paper proposes an auto-encoder architecture as an image enhancement method for narrow-bandwidth radio images. With this method, a distorted image can be improved for better receiver satisfaction. The proposed auto-encoder is trained with many narrow-bandwidth radio image data; hence it enhances a given distorted image. Also, the results were verified with the original image data being the reference images.
