  • Publication number: 20240062501
    Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus capable of improving the feature extraction required for image stitching, the computational efficiency of homography calculation based on the feature extraction, and the performance of image stitching. The image stitching method according to the present invention includes: based on two images and additional information as needed, calculating an overlapping area in which two images overlap each other; masking an area in which the two images do not overlap each other based on information about the calculated overlapping area to provide masked images; extracting significant features to be used for image stitching from the masked images; calculating a homography to be used for image transformation based on the extracted features; and transforming and stitching the images based on the calculated homography.

  • Publication number: 20220156513
    Abstract: Provided is a method of localizing an anomaly in a target image. The method includes training a reconstruction model using a normal image, deriving a reconstructed image by applying a target image, which is subject to detection, to the trained reconstruction model, generating an anomaly map on the basis of a result of comparing the reconstructed image and the target image, and localizing an anomaly through the generated anomaly map.

  • Publication number: 20210192296
    Abstract: A data de-identification method and an apparatus performing the data de-identification method are disclosed. The data de-identification method includes receiving identification data including a plurality of input feature vectors and generating a graph neural network (GNN) model including a plurality of nodes each having a value corresponding to each of the input feature vectors, determining a de-identification vector to which a correlation between the nodes is applied from the input feature vectors through the GNN model, and extracting an output feature vector by grouping values in each of the input feature vectors using the GNN model.
