    To address the limitations of restricted receptive-field scales and insufficient exploration of additional dimensional information in existing Transformer-based image super-resolution networks, this paper proposed a multi-dimensional aggregation transformer network. First, a multi-scale interaction modulation module was designed to extract multi-scale features from low-resolution images, enhancing the diversity of information flow. Second, a spatial–channel interaction module was integrated into transformer layers, employing four types of attention mechanisms to fully extract key features and achieve effective feature fusion, thereby improving model performance. Third, a feature-reuse transformer module was proposed to explicitly model inter-layer feature relationships, enabling precise extraction and efficient reuse of important features. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing state-of-the-art algorithms on five benchmark datasets. Specifically, in super-resolution tasks with various magnification factors, it achieves an average improvement of 0.26 dB in peak signal-to-noise ratio and 0.002 4 in structural similarity index measure compared to Swin Transformer-based methods, producing clearer reconstruction results. These findings validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and its strong potential for practical applications in image super-resolution tasks.
