Abstract
A method for processing an image uses a generator which is a machine learning model. The generator converts an input low resolution image into a first feature map. From the first feature map, a first intermediate image and a second intermediate image each having resolution higher than resolution of the low resolution image are generated. Based on the first intermediate image and the second intermediate image, an estimated image having higher resolution than the resolution of the low resolution image is generated.
