Image super resolution is a vital research topic in the field of computer vision. It aims to reconstruct high resolution images from low resolution images. Although the conventional image super resolution methods have achieved good performance and effect, there are still have some issues, e.g., the high-frequency details information is insufficient, and the reconstruction process will bring additional noise, and most basic interpolation techniques produce blurry results. To settle the problems mentioned above, we consider combining the deep learning method with the frequency domain fusion method. In this paper, a novel single image super resolution method based on SRFeat network and wavelet fusion is proposed. First, the training image is taken as the input of the backbone SRFeat network, then the generative adversarial network training is carried out. Then, the up-sampling is utilized to obtain the coarse super resolved image. Finally, the output image after the network training is combined with the up-sampling image of the low-resolution image by Wavelet fusion to obtain the final result. Without increasing the depth of the network and the redundant parameters, the proposed method can achieve better reconstruct result. The experimental results show that the proposed method can not only reduce the probability of image distortion, but recover the global information of the reconstructed image and remove the noise brought by the reconstruction process. The PSNR value of the proposed method is improved 0.3 dB, and the SSIM is improved 0.02.
