Abstract

The invention provides a technique capable of effectively and appropriately removing noise from various kinds of images including noise and artifacts and images in which a noise pattern changes due to a difference in imaging conditions. Based on a noise removal technique using AI, noise characteristics including artifacts are analyzed for each image, the image is classified based on an analysis result, an optimal neural network for a noise processing is applied for each classification, and the noise and the artifacts are reduced.
