Abstract
To implement image synthesis without loss of surface information of SE images and shadow information of BSE images, the present disclosure proposes image processing techniques include applying data of a first quality image (low quality image) to a trained model, estimating a structural feature and a material feature of a second quality image (high quality image) corresponding to the first quality image, calculating at least one shadow datum based on the structural feature and a synthesis parameter and calculating at least one gradation datum based on the material feature and a synthesis parameter, generating a synthesized image from the at least one shadow datum and the at least one gradation datum, and outputting the synthesized image as a prediction result of the second quality image (see FIG.).
