Abstract: An apparatus, method, and a computer readable medium for attenuating visual artifacts in processed images. An annotated dataset of images to be processed by an image processing system is created. An adversarial control network is trained to operate as an image quality expert in classifying images. After the adversarial control network has been trained, the adversarial control network is used to supervise the image processing system on-the-fly.
