IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17723055 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that performs image quality processing on an image using various networks. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The image processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor.
- The memory stores instructions for the processor to execute.
- The processor performs the following steps:
* Downscale the input image using a downscale network to obtain a first image. * Extract first feature information corresponding to the first image using a feature extraction network. * Perform image quality processing on the first image based on the first feature information using an image quality processing network to obtain a second image. * Upscale the second image, extract second feature information corresponding to the input image, and perform image quality processing on the upscaled second image based on the second feature information using an upscale network to obtain an output image.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Image enhancement: The image processing apparatus can improve the quality of images by downscaling, extracting features, and performing quality processing.
- Image compression: The apparatus can optimize image compression by downscaling and upscaling images while preserving important features.
- Image recognition: The feature extraction network can extract relevant information for image recognition tasks.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Image quality improvement: The apparatus addresses the problem of enhancing image quality by performing quality processing based on feature information.
- Efficient image processing: By using different networks for specific tasks, the apparatus can process images more efficiently.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved image quality: The image processing apparatus can enhance images by performing quality processing based on extracted feature information.
- Efficient processing: By utilizing specialized networks for different tasks, the apparatus can process images more efficiently, saving time and resources.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing apparatus for performing image quality processing on an image includes: a memory configured to store one or more instructions; and a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory to: obtain a first image by downscaling an input image by using a downscale network; extract first feature information corresponding to the first image by using a feature extraction network; obtain a second image by performing image quality processing on the first image based on the first feature information, by using an image quality processing network; and obtain an output image by upscaling the second image, extracting second feature information corresponding to the input image, and performing image quality processing on the upscaled second image based on the second feature information, by using an upscale network.
