  • Publication number: 20230051411
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for image processing are provided. A first image belonging to a first image domain is acquired and input to an image processing model to be trained to obtain a second image belonging to a second image domain. A first correlation degree between an image feature of the first image and an image feature of the second image to obtain a target feature correlation degree is calculated. A second correlation degree between feature value distribution of the image feature of the first image and feature value distribution of the image feature of the second image is calculated to obtain a distribution correlation degree. Model parameters of an image processing model are adjusted to a direction in which the target feature correlation degree is increased and a direction in which the distribution correlation degree is increased to obtain a trained image processing.

  • Publication number: 20230035366
    Abstract: An image classification model training method and apparatus are provided. Classification results of each image outputted by an image classification model are obtained. When the classification results outputted by the image classification model do not meet a reference condition, a reference classification result is constructed based on the classification results outputted by the image classification model. Because the reference classification result can indicate a probability that images belong to each class, a parameter of the image classification model is updated to obtain a trained image classification model based on a total error value between the classification results of the each image and the reference classification result.
