RESOLUTION CONVERTER, RESOLUTION CONVERSION METHOD, AND RESOLUTION CONVERSION COMPUTER PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240127395 titled 'RESOLUTION CONVERTER, RESOLUTION CONVERSION METHOD, AND RESOLUTION CONVERSION COMPUTER PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The resolution converter described in the patent application is a processor that selects a super-resolution model based on the capturing condition of an image and generates a high-resolution image by inputting the image into the selected model.

  • Processor selects super-resolution model based on capturing condition
  • Generates high-resolution image by inputting image into selected model

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various fields such as medical imaging, satellite imaging, surveillance systems, and photography to enhance image resolution and quality.

Problems Solved

1. Low-resolution images can be improved without the need for re-capturing the image. 2. Enhances image quality for better analysis and decision-making.

Benefits

1. Improved image resolution without the need for expensive hardware upgrades. 2. Enhances image quality for better visual interpretation and analysis. 3. Saves time and resources by avoiding re-capturing of images.

Potential Commercial Applications

Enhancing image resolution for medical imaging applications can improve diagnostic accuracy and patient care, leading to potential commercial opportunities in the healthcare industry.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of traditional image upscaling techniques that may not be as effective as the super-resolution models described in the patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does the processor determine the capturing condition of an image?

The abstract does not provide details on how the processor identifies the capturing condition of an image before selecting the super-resolution model.

Are there limitations to the types of images that can be processed using this technology?

It is not clear from the abstract whether there are any restrictions on the types of images that can be input into the super-resolution models for generating high-resolution images.


Original Abstract Submitted

a resolution converter includes a processor configured to select a super-resolution model corresponding to a capturing condition under which an image was generated, among a plurality of super-resolution models for improving resolution, the plurality of super-resolution models corresponding to different capturing conditions, and generate a high-resolution image having a higher resolution than the image by inputting the image into the selected super-resolution model.
