IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240127405 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that includes correction, enlargement, and compositing units to enhance images using neural networks.

  • Correction unit performs correction on an image.
  • First enlargement unit enlarges the corrected image using a neural network to produce a first enlarged image.
  • Second enlargement unit enlarges the corrected image to produce a second enlarged image.
  • Compositing unit combines the first and second enlarged images based on the intensity of the correction.

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in various fields such as photography, medical imaging, satellite imaging, and video processing.

Problems Solved

1. Enhances image quality by correcting and enlarging images effectively. 2. Provides a more detailed and clear representation of images for analysis and visualization.

Benefits

1. Improved image quality and resolution. 2. Efficient image processing using neural networks. 3. Enhanced visualization and analysis capabilities.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing image quality in digital cameras, medical imaging devices, satellite imaging systems, and video editing software.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include image processing software, neural network-based image enhancement techniques, and image compositing algorithms.

Unanswered Questions

How does the apparatus handle different types of image corrections and enhancements?

The abstract does not specify the specific methods or algorithms used for image correction and enlargement in the apparatus.

What is the computational complexity of the image processing performed by the apparatus?

The abstract does not provide information on the computational resources required for the correction, enlargement, and compositing of images.


Original Abstract Submitted

an image processing apparatus includes a correction unit configured to perform correction on an image, a first enlargement unit configured to enlarge the image subjected to the correction performed by the correction unit by using a neural network to produce a first enlarged image, a second enlargement unit configured to enlarge the image subjected to the correction performed by the correction unit to produce a second enlarged image, the second enlargement unit being different from the first enlargement unit, and a compositing unit configured to perform composition of the first enlarged image and the second enlarged image based on an intensity of the correction.
