APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PREDICTING COMPRESSION QUALITY OF IMAGE IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17970482 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PREDICTING COMPRESSION QUALITY OF IMAGE IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and device for predicting the compression quality of an image during image correction or enhancement in an electronic device. Here are the key points:
- The electronic device includes a display module, memory, and processor.
- The processor extracts multiple blocks from the image in a designated scheme.
- Confidence is estimated for each of the multiple blocks.
- A first block, identified as an outlier, is excluded from quality prediction based on confidence estimation.
- A second block, suitable for quality prediction, is identified among the multiple blocks.
- The first block is excluded from the subject of quality prediction.
- The compression quality of the image is classified using the remaining second block.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Image correction and enhancement in electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and digital cameras.
- Image processing in various industries including photography, advertising, and graphic design.
- Quality assessment and prediction for image compression algorithms and codecs.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Accurate prediction of compression quality during image correction or enhancement.
- Identification and exclusion of outlier blocks that may negatively impact quality prediction.
- Efficient utilization of designated blocks for quality classification.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved image quality in electronic devices by optimizing compression algorithms.
- Enhanced user experience with visually appealing images.
- Time and resource efficiency in image processing tasks.
- Better understanding and control of image compression quality.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method and/or device for predicting a compression quality of an image during image correction (e.g., image quality enhancement) in an electronic device, and/or processing the image, based on at least the prediction, may be provided. The electronic device may include a display module, a memory, and a processor, wherein the processor may operate to display an image through the display module, extract designated multiple blocks from the image in a designated scheme, estimate confidence for each of the multiple blocks, identify, based on the estimation of the confidence, a first block corresponding to an outlier to be excluded in quality prediction, and a second block for which quality prediction is possible, among the multiple blocks, exclude the first block among the multiple blocks from a subject of quality prediction, and classify a compression quality of the image by using at least the second block remaining after excluding the first block from among the multiple blocks.
