IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE INCLUDING NEURAL NETWORK PROCESSOR AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18068113 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE INCLUDING NEURAL NETWORK PROCESSOR AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image processing device that uses a neural network processor to reconstruct image data based on a selected processing mode. The device includes an image sensor that generates first image data using a color filter array. The processing circuitry selects a processing mode based on information about the first image data and generates second image data by reconstructing the first image data using a neural network processor. The device also generates third image data by post-processing the second image data apart from the neural network processor based on the processing mode.

Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing device includes: an image sensor configured to generate first image data by using a color filter array; and processing circuitry configured to select a processing mode from a plurality of processing modes for the first image data, the selecting being based on information about the first image data; generate second image data by reconstructing the first image data using a neural network processor based on the processing mode; and generate third image data by post-processing the second image data apart from the neural network processor based on the processing mode.
