  • Publication number: 20220375033
    Abstract: A deep feature generation unit (20) inputs an inference image from an input layer (21) of a neural network, performs forward propagation in the neural network, and outputs a plurality of frame images that each include a channel image and are aligned in a predetermined first sequence as intermediate output values from an intermediate layer (22), which is a predetermined layer that is not an output layer of the neural network. A rearrangement unit (30) rearranges the frame images aligned in the first sequence into frame images in a second sequence based on a predetermined rearrangement sequence from the first sequence to the second sequence, such that a total of degrees of similarity between adjacent frame images in the second sequence is greater than a total of degrees of similarity between adjacent frame images in the first sequence.

  • Publication number: 20220237734
    Abstract: An image processing device includes an image processing unit configured to execute image processing on an image based on an input image, and output a result of the image processing. The input image is a post-conversion image obtained by performing image conversion on an original image. The image conversion includes image conversion for further reducing a data size of the original image while maintaining a feature acquired from the original image and related to an object similar to a subject captured in the original image and maintaining processing accuracy of the image processing.
