Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a feature extraction unit, a reconstruction unit, an evaluation unit, and a control unit. The feature extraction unit inputs an input image to a feature extraction NN, and outputs an intermediate image from the feature extraction NN. The reconstruction unit inputs the intermediate image to an m-th reconstruction NN, and outputs an m-th output image from the m-th reconstruction NN. The evaluation unit obtains an evaluation value based on a sum of differences between the m-th tomographic image and the m-th output image. The control unit repeatedly performs processes of the feature extraction unit and the reconstruction unit, calculation of the evaluation value by the evaluation unit, and training of the feature extraction NN and the m-th reconstruction NN based on the evaluation value.
