Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a plurality of images each capturing an identical target and having a different attribute; a derivation unit configured to derive features from the plurality of images, using a first neural network; an integration unit configured to integrate the features derived from the plurality of images; and a generation unit configured to generate a higher quality image than the plurality of images from the feature integrated by the integration unit, using a second neural network.
Claims6
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the image processing apparatus to:
- acquire a plurality of images being obtained by capturing an identical target from different viewpoint positions by a plurality of image capturing devices;
- derive features from each of the plurality of images using corresponding one of first neural networks each provided for respective one of the viewpoint positions of the images;
- integrate the features derived from the plurality of images;
- and
- generate a high quality image of which quality is higher than that of each of the plurality of images, from the integrated features, using a second neural network.
An image processing method comprising:
- acquiring a plurality of images being obtained by capturing an identical target from different viewpoint positions by a plurality of image capturing devices;
- deriving features from each of the plurality of images using corresponding one of first neural networks each provided for respective one of the viewpoint positions of the images;
- integrating the features derived from the plurality of images;
- and
- generating a high quality image of which quality is higher than that of each of the plurality of images, from the integrated features, using a second neural network.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a method of image processing, the method comprising:
- acquiring a plurality of images being obtained by capturing an identical target from different viewpoint positions by a plurality of image capturing devices;
- deriving features from each of the plurality of images using corresponding one of first neural networks each provided for respective one of the viewpoint positions of the images;
- integrating the features derived from the plurality of images;
- and
- generating a high quality image of which quality is higher than that of each of the plurality of images, from the integrated features, using a second neural network.
