  • Publication number: 20250390987
    Abstract: An electronic device and a control method for improving image quality include receiving a first-quality image as an input image; analyzing the input image to obtain image parameter information; detecting an object included in the input image to obtain object information; inputting the input image, the image parameter information, and the object information into a trained neural network model; obtaining a second-quality image having a higher image quality than a first-image quality; and outputting the second-quality image. The method may include generating an extended object map by combining an object map with the image parameter information, where the object map is obtained from the object information. Post-filtering techniques, including multi-band image filtering and applying pixel-wise gain values based on object information, may be performed on the output data from the neural network model to further enhance image quality.
