NEURAL NETWORK SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RESTORING IMAGES USING TRANSFORMER AND GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20230169626 titled 'NEURAL NETWORK SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RESTORING IMAGES USING TRANSFORMER AND GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a neural network system for restoring images, which includes an encoder and a generative adversarial network (GAN) prior network. The encoder consists of encoder blocks that utilize transformer blocks and convolution layers to generate encoder features and latent vectors from an input image. The GAN prior network consists of pre-trained generative prior layers that take the encoder features and latent vectors as input and produce an output image with super-resolution.

  • The neural network system includes an encoder and a GAN prior network.
  • The encoder comprises encoder blocks with transformer blocks and convolution layers.
  • The encoder receives an input image and generates encoder features and latent vectors.
  • The GAN prior network consists of pre-trained generative prior layers.
  • The GAN prior network takes the encoder features and latent vectors as input.
  • The GAN prior network generates an output image with super-resolution.
