Abstract
An image processing apparatus including a decoder configured to identify an area in an image frame at which object recognition is to be performed by using type information of a macroblock included in the image frame, and perform object recognition on the area of the image frame and skip the object recognition on areas of the image frame other than the area.
Claims21
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing one or more instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory
- to obtain an image frame by decoding an encoded image sequence,
- to obtain type information of a macroblock of the image frame from the encoded image sequence, and
- to identify, based on the type information, an area at which object recognition is to be performed in the image frame obtained by decoding the encoded image sequence.
An image processing method comprising:
- obtaining an image frame by decoding an encoded image sequence,
- obtaining type information of a macroblock of the image frame in the process of the decoding of the encoded image sequence,
- identifying, based on the type information, an area at which object recognition is to be performed in the image frame obtained by decoding the encoded image sequence;
- performing the object recognition in the area of the image frame by using a neural network;
- and
- skipping the object recognition in areas of the image frame other than the area.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a program for executing an image processing method, the method comprising:
- obtaining an image frame by decoding an encoded image sequence,
- obtaining type information of a macroblock of the image frame in the process of the decoding of the encoded image sequence,
- identifying, based on the type information, an area at which object recognition is to be performed in the image frame obtained by decoding the encoded image sequence;
- performing the object recognition in the area of the image frame by using a neural network;
- and
- skipping the object recognition in areas of the image frame other than the area.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing one or more instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory to:
- obtain type information of a macroblock of an image frame from an encoded image sequence, and
- identify, based on the type information, an area in the image frame at which object recognition is to be performed by generating a lookup table storing a lookup table value for each pixel of the image frame.
