  • Patent number: 11195261
    Abstract: Disclosed is an image processing apparatus. The present image processing apparatus comprises: an input unit for inputting an image; and a processor for shrinking the inputted image to a predetermined ratio, extracting a visual feature from the shrunken image, performing an image quality enhancement process reflecting the extracted visual feature in the inputted image, repeatedly performing, for a predetermined number of times, the shrinking, the extracting, and the image quality enhancement process on the image that has undergone the image quality enhancement process. The present disclosure relates to an artificial intelligence (AI) system and an application thereof that simulate the functions of a human brain, such as recognition, judgment, etc., by using a machine learning algorithm such as deep learning, etc.

  • Patent number: 10922798
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus is provided. The image processing apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment includes a communicator configured to receive an image, and a processor configured to generate a first image obtained by performing image processing on the received image by using a parameter for image processing, generate a second image obtained by reducing the first image at a predetermined ratio, and extract respective visual features from the first image and the second image, wherein the processor is further configured to adjust the parameter to allow a difference between the visual feature of the first image and the visual feature of the second image to be within a predetermined range.
