  • Patent number: 12380534
    Abstract: A training apparatus is provided. The training apparatus acquires a mosaic image, generates a demosaic image by subjecting the mosaic image to a demosaicing process in which a neural network is used, and detects a low-image-quality portion in the demosaic image as a detected region. The training apparatus acquires a training image including a region having a hue similar to a hue of the detected region, and incrementally trains the neural network using the training image.

  • Patent number: 12067488
    Abstract: An object is to obtain a trained model whose robustness is high in a case of learning a network in an image signal processing system. For teacher images consisting an acquired teacher image group, a distribution characteristic of at least one of three attributes of color is analyzed and based on analysis results, a teacher image group uniform in the distribution characteristic is generated. Learning of a network is performed by generating a data set including a set of a teacher image and a pupil image from a new teacher image group thus obtained.
