Abstract: An image recognition method includes the steps of: receiving a captured image; acquiring a focusing zone image from a portion of the captured image; processing the captured image and/or the focusing zone image and then making the two images into a batch of image information; and executing an image analysis procedure on the batch of image information to generate an analysis result.

Abstract: An image processing circuit performs super-resolution (SR) operations. The image processing circuit includes memory to store multiple parameter sets of multiple artificial intelligence (AI) models. The image processing circuit further includes an image guidance module, a parameter decision module, and an SR engine. The image guidance module operates to detect a representative feature in an image sequence including a current frame and past frames within a time window. The parameter decision module operates to adjust parameters of one or more AI models based on a measurement of the representative feature. The SR engine operates to process the current frame using the one or more AI models with the adjusted parameters to thereby generate a high-resolution image for display.
