ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD WITH IMAGE PROCESSING. - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18497077 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD WITH IMAGE PROCESSING.

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device and method for image processing, specifically for generating a super-resolution image of a face image using multi-level feature maps and encoders.

  • The method involves generating an initial image feature matrix of a face image based on a multi-level feature map.
  • It also includes generating an initial face priori feature matrix based on a final level feature map of the multi-level feature map.
  • The super-resolution image and/or key point coordinates of the face image are generated using one or more encoders, based on the initial image feature matrix and the initial face priori feature matrix.
  • If multiple encoders are used, they are cascaded to enhance the image processing capabilities.

Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device and a processor-implemented method with image processing are provided. The processor-implemented method comprises generating an initial image feature matrix of a face image based on a multi-level feature map of the face image; generating an initial face priori feature matrix of the face image based on a final level feature map of the multi-level feature map; and generating a super-resolution image of the face image and/or key point coordinates of the face image by using one or more encoders, based on the initial image feature matrix and the initial face priori feature matrix, wherein, when the one or more encoders are plural encoders, they are cascaded.
