Ultrasonic nondestructive testing has been widely used in industry due to its various advantages. However. with the increasing demand for non-destructive testing accuracy, low-resolution ultrasonic images can easily lead to misidentification of defects. How to improve the resolution of ultrasonic images has become a key issue restricting development of the non-destructive testing industry. Therefore. this paper proposes a super-resolution model for ultrasonic NDT images consisting of up and down sampling layers and deep residual networks. The model learns the degraded features of the image through the up and down sampling layers, and learns the intrinsic features of the image through the deep residual network, so as to learn the feature information of the image more completely to complete the super-resolution task of the image. Experimental results on ultrasound image datasets also validate the effectiveness of the model, outperforming other models in peak signa-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity (SSIM) metrics.
