  • Publication number: 20240155070
    Abstract: A method for processing a video with a dynamic video-based super-resolution network and a circuit system are provided. In the method, quality scores used to assess a quality of an input video are calculated based on image features of the input video. A moving average algorithm is performed on the quality scores of multiple frames of the input video for obtaining a moving average score. Two corresponding weight tables are selected according to the moving average score. The two weight tables are used to calculate a blending weight that is applied to a neural network super-resolution algorithm. The blending weight is applied to the neural network super-resolution algorithm, so as to produce an output video.

  • Publication number: 20240119559
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an image enlarging apparatus having deep learning mechanism. A deep learning circuit includes an image downsizing circuit, an image characteristic analyzing circuit, a weighting reallocating circuit and an image upsizing circuit. The image downsizing circuit downsizes an input image to generate a downsized image. The image characteristic analyzing circuit analyzes the downsized image according to image characteristics to generate categorized images. The weighting reallocating circuit performs weighting reallocating on the categorized images according to image weighting parameters corresponding to the image characteristics to generate weighting reallocated images. The image upsizing circuit upsizes the weighting reallocated images to generate adjusted images. A concatenating circuit concatenates the input image and the adjusted images to generate concatenated images.
