  • Publication number: 20250159232
    Abstract: An image encoding apparatus may include a memory storing one or more instructions; and a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions to: obtain an initial search position from a student neural network that has been trained through a knowledge distillation from a teacher neural network by inputting a current frame and a reference frame to the student neural network; and perform motion estimation based on the initial search position.

  • Publication number: 20250159231
    Abstract: A video encoder is provided. The video encoder according to an example embodiment includes: a differentiable prediction (DP) module configured to output an optimal initial search position by performing full search in a predetermined area by using a pair of frames of a video as input; and a motion estimation (ME) module configured to perform motion estimation by moving a search position toward the optimal initial search position output by the DP module.

  • Patent number: 11301970
    Abstract: An image processing method acquires an image, restores a saturated region in which a pixel in the image has a first reference value based on a first illuminance component of the image, enhances a dark region in which a value of a pixel in the image is less than a second reference value based on the restored saturated region and the first illuminance component, and outputs a dark region-enhanced image.

  • Patent number: 10560673
    Abstract: An image recovery apparatus and method are provided, where the image recovery apparatus calculates a reference color image based on a linear correlation between a color channel image and a luminance channel image, and corrects the luminance channel image based on residual information that indicates a difference between the reference color image and the color channel image, to recover an image.

  • Patent number: 8929662
    Abstract: Image restoration by restoring a high-frequency component of a deteriorated image. A high-frequency image information predicting and stabilizing method includes: determining a shooting area, which is a high-frequency area that includes an overly-restored high-frequency component, in an input image; predicting a high-frequency component of the input image by applying different deterioration models to the shooting area and a remaining area in the input image; and stabilizing a high-frequency component of an edge area by using an edge blur kernel determined to be parallel to an edge direction of the input image.
