Abstract
An image processing apparatus for forming an enhanced image is disclosed. The apparatus comprises one or more processors configured to: receive one or more input images; form, from each of the one or more input images, a respective feature representation, each feature representation representing features of the respective input image; and subject the one or more feature representations to a symmetric pooling operation to form an enhanced image from at least some of the features of the one or more feature representations identified by the symmetric pooling operation. The apparatus may generate images with increased photoreceptive dynamic range, increased bit depth and signal-to-noise ratio, with less quantization error and richer colour representation.
