Abstract
An image providing apparatus configured to generate, by using a first artificial intelligence (AI) network, AI metadata including class information and at least one class map, in which the class information includes at least one class corresponding to a type of an object among a plurality of predefined objects included in a first image and the at least one class map indicates a region corresponding to each class in the first image, generate an encoded image by encoding the first image, and output the encoded image and the AI metadata through the output interface.
Claims20
An image providing apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing one or more instructions;
- one or more processors configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory;
- and
- an output interface,
- wherein the one or more processors, by executing the one or more instructions, are configured to:
- generate, by using a first artificial intelligence (AI) network, AI metadata comprising class information and at least one class map, wherein the class information comprises at least one class, each of the at least one class corresponds to a type of an object included in a first image among a plurality of predefined objects, and each of the at least one class map indicates regions corresponding to each class among the at least one class in the first image;
- generate an encoded image by encoding the first image;
- and
- output the encoded image and the AI metadata through the output interface.
A control method for an image providing apparatus, the control method comprising:
- generating, by using a first artificial intelligence (AI) network, AI metadata comprising class information and at least one class map, wherein the class information comprises at least one class, each of the at least one class corresponds to a type of an object included in a first image among a plurality of predefined objects, and each of the at least one class map indicates regions corresponding to each class among the at least one class in the first image;
- generating an encoded image by encoding the first image;
- and
- outputting the encoded image and the AI metadata.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a computer program instructions for, when executed by a processor, performing a control method for an image providing apparatus, the control method comprising:
- generating, by using a first artificial intelligence (AI) network, AI metadata comprising class information and at least one class map, wherein the class information comprises at least one class, each of the at least one class corresponds to a type of an object included in a first image among a plurality of predefined objects, and each of the at least one class map indicates regions corresponding to each class among the at least one class in the first image;
- generating an encoded image by encoding the first image;
- and
- outputting the encoded image and the AI metadata.
