Patent number: 11836619Abstract: An image processing method, a related device, and a computer storage medium are provided. The method includes: obtaining a feature intensity image corresponding to a training image, where an intensity value of a pixel in the feature intensity image is used to indicate importance of the pixel for recognizing the training image, and resolution of the training image is the same as resolution of the feature intensity image; and occluding, based on the feature intensity image, a to-be-occluded region in the training image by using a preset window, to obtain a new image, where the to-be-occluded region includes a to-be-occluded pixel, and the new image is used to update an image recognition model. According to the embodiments of the present application, a prior-art problem that a model has low accuracy and relatively poor generalization performance because of limited training data can be resolved.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2020Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignees: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of SciencesInventors: Bailan Feng, Chunfeng Yao, Kaiqi Huang, Zhang Zhang, Xiaotang Chen, Houjing Huang, Dangwei Li

Patent number: 11551333Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide an image reconstruction method and device. The method includes: inputting a first image into a newly constructed super-resolution model to obtain a reconstructed second image, where a resolution of the second image is higher than that of the first image. The newly constructed super-resolution model is obtained by training an initial super-resolution model by using an error loss. The error loss includes a pixel mean square error and an image feature mean square error. The image feature in the image feature mean square error includes at least one of a texture feature, a shape feature, a spatial relationship feature, and an image high-level semantic feature. According to the embodiments of this application, the quality of a reconstructed image can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2020Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Bing Yu, Chuanxia Zheng, Bailan Feng
