MOTION COMPENSATION FOR NEURAL NETWORK ENHANCED IMAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17382658 titled 'MOTION COMPENSATION FOR NEURAL NETWORK ENHANCED IMAGES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a device that applies a neural network to enhance an image and then adjusts the high-frequency components of the enhanced image based on motion compensation. The adjusted high-frequency components are combined with the low-frequency components to generate a final enhanced image.

  • The device includes a memory and one or more processors.
  • The memory stores instructions for the device.
  • The processors execute the instructions to apply a neural network to a first image.
  • The neural network enhances the first image to generate an enhanced image.
  • The processors also adjust at least a portion of the high-frequency component of the enhanced image based on motion compensation.
  • The adjusted high-frequency image component is generated.
  • The processors combine the low-frequency component of the enhanced image and the adjusted high-frequency image component.
  • The combination results in an adjusted enhanced image.

Potential Applications

  • Image enhancement in photography and video editing.
  • Medical imaging to improve the clarity of diagnostic images.
  • Surveillance systems to enhance the quality of captured footage.
  • Enhancing satellite imagery for better analysis and interpretation.

Problems Solved

  • Enhancing images using a neural network to improve their quality.
  • Addressing the issue of motion blur or distortion in the high-frequency components of the enhanced image.
  • Combining the adjusted high-frequency components with the low-frequency components to create a visually pleasing and accurate enhanced image.

Benefits

  • Improved image quality and clarity.
  • Reduction of motion blur or distortion in enhanced images.
  • More accurate representation of details in the final enhanced image.
  • Enhanced images can be used for various applications, such as photography, medical imaging, surveillance, and satellite imagery analysis.


Original Abstract Submitted

A device includes a memory and one or more processors. The memory is configured to store instructions. The one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to apply a neural network to a first image to generate an enhanced image. The one or more processors are also configured to execute the instructions to adjust at least a portion of a high-frequency component of the enhanced image based on a motion compensation operation to generate an adjusted high-frequency image component. The one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to combine a low-frequency component of the enhanced image and the adjusted high-frequency image component to generate an adjusted enhanced image.
