    Abstract: A method for performing multi-functional image restoration by an electronic device with a trained Machine Learning (ML) model is provided. The method includes receiving an image and determining channels of the image, and determining whether a number of restructuring needed for the channels is one. When the restructuring needed for the channels not one, then the method includes restructuring each channel into a first channel set, generating first inferences of the image corresponding to each channel by feeding the first channel set to the trained ML model, and generating a final inference image by combining the first inferences. When the number of restructuring needed for the channels is one, then the method includes restructuring the channels into a second channel set, and generating a second inference of the image by feeding the second channel set to the trained ML model.

  • Publication number: 20220108427
    Abstract: Example embodiments include a method and an electronic device for detecting and removing artifacts/degradations in media. Embodiments may detect artifacts and/or degradations in the media based on tag information indicating at least one artifact included in the media. The detection may be triggered automatically or manually. Embodiments may generate artifact/quality tag information associated with the media to indicate artifacts and/or degradations present in the media, and may store the artifact/quality tag information as metadata and/or in a database. Embodiments may identify, based on the artifact/quality tag information associated with the media, at least one artificial intelligence (AI)-based media processing model to be applied to the media to enhance the media. The at least one AI-based media processing model may be configured to enhance at least one artifact detected in the media. Embodiments may enhance the media by applying the at least one AI-based media enhancement model to the media.

  • Patent number: 11146762
    Abstract: Methods and systems for reconstructing a high frame rate high resolution video in a Bayer domain, when an imaging device is set in a Flexible Sub-Sampled Readout (FSR) mode are described. A method provides the FSR mode, which utilizes a multiparty FSR mechanism to spatially and temporally sample the full frame Bayer data. The multi parity FSR utilizes a zigzag sampling that assists reconstruction of motion compensated artifact free high frame rate high resolution video with full frame size. The method includes reconstructing the high frame rate high resolution video using the plurality of parity fields generated. The reconstruction is based on a FSR reconstruction mechanism that can be a pre-Image Signal Processor (ISP) FSR reconstruction or a post-ISP FSP reconstruction based on bandwidth capacity of an ISP used by the imaging device.

  • Patent number: 10764530
    Abstract: A method and a system for recording a Super Slow Motion (SSM) video in a portable electronic device are provided. A SSM video recording system detects presence of motion in the image frames captured by the image capturing device. Upon detecting the presence of motion, the SSM video recording system generates a trigger, subsequent to which, a first and fourth set of image frames for performing a frame skipping mechanism, and a second and third set of image frames for performing an interpolation mechanism are selected. The image frames of desired frame rate generated by performing the frame skipping mechanism and the interpolation mechanism are transmitted to an encoder in an order, for encoding and recording. The method and system allow SSM even in mid-tier and low-tier models of smartphones, without the need of expensive specialized image sensors.
