Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present application relates to image processing technical field, and provides a method for image reconstruction, an apparatus, a terminal device, and a storage medium. The method first extracts an initial feature map of an original image, then calculates an average value of each column pixel in the initial feature map, and constructs a target row vector and duplicates the target row vector in the column direction after convolution processing, to obtain a feature map. In addition, an average value of the element of each row of pixels in the initial feature map is calculated respectively, and a target column vector is constructed. It is duplicated in a row direction to obtain another feature map, and then the two feature maps are fused. Finally, two-dimensional convolution processing is performed on a fused feature map, and a reconstructed image is generated, thereby the long-distance dependencies of the image can be captured.
