METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH NOISE CONSIDERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17700932 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH NOISE CONSIDERATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and apparatus for image enhancement considering noise. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves generating a non-normal noise map for an input image using a noise model.
  • An image enhancement model is then applied to the input image and the non-normal noise map to generate an enhanced image.
  • The input image has noise that follows a non-normal distribution.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Image processing and enhancement in various fields such as photography, medical imaging, surveillance, etc.
  • Improving the quality and clarity of images in low-light or noisy environments.
  • Enhancing images captured by digital cameras, smartphones, or other imaging devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Traditional image enhancement techniques often assume that noise follows a normal distribution, which may not be accurate in real-world scenarios.
  • This technology addresses the issue of non-normal noise distribution by incorporating a noise model and generating a non-normal noise map.
  • By considering the non-normal noise distribution, the method can provide more accurate and effective image enhancement.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved image quality by considering the actual noise distribution in the input image.
  • Enhanced images with reduced noise artifacts and improved details.
  • More accurate and reliable image enhancement results compared to traditional methods.
  • Can be applied to a wide range of images and imaging devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method and apparatus with noise consideration are provided. The method includes generating, using a noise model, a non-normal noise map corresponding to a noise of an input image, and generating an enhanced image of the input image by implementing an image enhancement model based on the input image and the non-normal noise map, where the noise of the input image follows a non-normal distribution.
