  • Publication number: 20240169484
    Abstract: A non-uniform super-resolution method, device, and recording medium of an image of the present disclosure may include an image separation unit which separates an input image into a high-quality region and a low-quality region based on a quality map image, an image quality conversion unit which acquires a converted high-quality region by converting image quality of the high-quality region, and a first image combination unit which combines the converted high-quality region and the low-quality region to transmit them to a super-resolution network.

  • Publication number: 20240129465
    Abstract: An object-based image encoding/decoding method and device of the present disclosure may include an image partition step which partitions an image to obtain a first object region, a region scaling step which scales the first object region based on a scaling factor of the first object region to obtain a second objection region, a region merging step which merges the second object region with at least one of an object region different from the second object region or a non-object region to obtain a merged image, and an image reconstruction step which reconstructs the merged image.

  • Publication number: 20240121415
    Abstract: An image encoding method includes detecting at least one attention region from an original image, acquiring a reconstructed picture for the original image, generating residual data between a first attention region in the original image and a second attention region corresponding to the first attention region in the reconstructed picture, and encoding the residual data.

  • Patent number: 10380417
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for recognizing an iris. The electronic device may include a camera configured to photograph the iris and a processor configured to perform iris recognition by using the photographed iris image, wherein the processor is further configured to determine a part of the iris image for the iris recognition has failed and re-perform the iris recognition for the determined part of the iris image.
