Image restoration system and image restoration method

Abstract

An image quality improvement system includes: an image quality improvement unit that improves the image quality of a low quality image; a deformation prediction unit that predicts a deformation amount that has occurred between a first low quality image and a different second low quality image, included in a series of input low quality images; and a deformation correction unit that corrects, based on the deformation amount predicted by the deformation prediction unit, one of a first prediction image obtained by applying processing by the image quality improvement unit to the first low quality image, the second low quality image, or a second prediction image obtained by applying processing by the image quality improvement unit to the second low quality image. The image quality improvement system learns to reduce the evaluation of a loss function between the first prediction and the second low quality image or the second prediction image.
