An image processing apparatus for performing image quality processing on an image includes: a memory configured to store one or more instructions; and a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory to: obtain a first image by downscaling an input image by using a downscale network; extract first feature information corresponding to the first image by using a feature extraction network; obtain a second image by performing image quality processing on the first image based on the first feature information, by using an image quality processing network; and obtain an output image by upscaling the second image, extracting second feature information corresponding to the input image, and performing image quality processing on the upscaled second image based on the second feature information, by using an upscale network.

Image processing apparatus and operating method thereof

An image processing apparatus for performing image quality processing on an image includes a feature extraction network and an image quality processing network including one or more modulation blocks, wherein each of the one or more modulation blocks includes a convolution layer, a modulation layer, and an activation layer for processing the image.

Image processing apparatus and method of operating the same

An image providing apparatus configured to generate, by using a first artificial intelligence (AI) network, AI metadata including class information and at least one class map, in which the class information includes at least one class corresponding to a type of an object among a plurality of predefined objects included in a first image and the at least one class map indicates a region corresponding to each class in the first image, generate an encoded image by encoding the first image, and output the encoded image and the AI metadata through the output interface.

Apparatus and method of using AI metadata related to image quality

Provided is an image processing apparatus including a memory storing at least one instruction, and a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction stored in the memory to obtain first feature information by performing a convolution operation on a first image and a first kernel included in a first convolution layer among a plurality of convolution layers, obtain at least one piece of characteristic information, based on the first feature information; obtain second feature information, based on the first feature information and the at least one piece of characteristic information, obtain third feature information by performing a convolution operation on the obtained second feature information and a second kernel included in a second convolution layer that is a layer next to the first convolution layer among the plurality of convolution layers, and obtain an output image, based on the third feature information.
