Abstract: An image processor for transforming an input image, the image processor being configured to implement a trained artificial intelligence model, where the image processor is configured to: receive the input image; based on one or both of (i) the content of the input image and (ii) features extracted from the input image, process the image by the trained artificial intelligence model to: (i) determine a set of image filters; and (ii) for each of a plurality of subregions of the image, select an image filter from the set of image filters; and for each of the plurality of subregions of the image, apply the respective image filter to the subregion or to features extracted from that subregion. This may allow for differentiable selection of filters from a discrete learnable and decorrelated group of filters to allow for content based spatial adaptations.
