Seismic image super-resolution reconstruction is of great significance for improving the accuracy of seismic interpretation and geological modeling. However
existing methods often suffer from large model sizes and high computational costs
and exhibit limited detail recovery capability under strong noise and complex geological structures. To address these issues
this paper proposes an enhanced residual feature distillation generative adversarial network (ERFDN-GAN) for seismic image super-resolution reconstruction. The network is built upon enhanced residual feature distillation blocks (ERFDBs)
where a feature distillation mechanism is employed to reduce model complexity. Spatial attention and channel attention mechanisms are further introduced to enhance feature representation capability. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves overall superior performance compared with representative methods in terms of PSNR and SSIM
while maintaining low model complexity and stable reconstruction performance under complex scenarios. The proposed ERFDN-GAN method effectively balances computational efficiency and reconstruction quality
providing technical support for seismic interpretation
geological modeling
and the intelligent acquisition and mining of multi-source geoscience data.
