Abstract
Embodiments are generally directed to a Conditional Kernel Prediction Network (CKPN) for image and video de-noising and other related image and video processing applications. Disclosed is an embodiment of a method for de-noising an image or video frame by a convolutional neural network implemented on a compute engine, the image including a plurality of pixels, the method comprising: for each of the plurality of pixels of the image, generating a convolutional kernel having a plurality of kernel weights for the pixel, the plurality of kernel weights respectively corresponding to pixels within a region surrounding the pixel; adjusting the plurality of kernel weights of the convolutional kernel for the pixel based on convolutional kernels generated respectively for the corresponding pixels within the region surrounding the pixel; and filtering the pixel with the adjusted plurality of kernel weights and pixel values of the corresponding pixels within the region surrounding the pixel to obtain a de-noised pixel.
