This code belongs to the paper [1] available at https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6420/acce5e (open access). Please cite the paper, if you use this code.
The repository contains an implementation of patchNRs as introduced in [1]. It contains scripts for reproducing the numerical example CT imaging in Section 4.1 and Superresolution in Section 4.2.
The folder input_imgs contains the images for learn the patchNR, a validation image and the test image illustrated in the paper.

The code requires several Python packages. We tested the code with Python 3.9.7 and the following package versions:
- pytorch 1.10.0
- numpy 1.21.2
- tqdm 4.62.3
- scipy 1.7.1
- freia 0.2
- dival 0.6.1
- odl 1.0.0
Usually the code is also compatible with some other versions of the corresponding Python packages.
You can start the training of the patchNR by calling the script train_patchNR.py. There you can choose between the different image classes.
The script patchNR_CT.py is the implementation of the CT example in [1, Section 4.1]. Here you can choose between the full angle and the limited angle case. The used data is from the LoDoPaB dataset [2], which is available at https://zenodo.org/record/3384092##.Ylglz3VBwgM.
The script patchNR_superres.py is the implementation of the superresolution example in [1, Section 4.2]. The used images of material microstructures have been acquired in the frame of the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Innovative Training Network MUMMERING (MUltiscale, Multimodal and Multidimensional imaging for EngineeRING, Grant Number 765604) at the beamline TOMCAT of the SLS by A. Saadaldin, D. Bernard, and F. Marone Welford. The low-resolution image used for reconstruction is generated by artificially downsampling and adding Gaussian noise. For more details on the downsampling process, see [1, Section 4.2].
The scripts patchNR_zeroshot.py and patchNR_zeroshot_material.py are the implementations of the zero-shot superresolution example in [1, Section 4.2]. The patchNR was tested on the BSD68 dataset [3] as well as on material microstructures and the low-resolution image used for reconstruction is generated by artificially downsampling and adding Gaussian noise. For more details on the downsampling process, see [1, Section 4.2].
