Image processing method and apparatus performing same

An image processing apparatus, comprising:

• one or more processors comprising processing circuitry;
• and
• memory storing instructions,
• wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the image processing apparatus to:
• extract first feature data from a first image;
• obtain second feature data by applying, to the first feature data, a first transformation associated with a first parameter;
• obtain third feature data by applying, to the second feature data, a second transformation associated with a second parameter;
• obtain fourth feature data by performing first image processing on the second feature data and the third feature data;
• obtain fifth feature data by applying, to the fourth feature data, a third transformation associated with a third parameter;
• obtain sixth feature data by performing second image processing on the second feature data and the fifth feature data;
• generate a second image, based on the sixth feature data;
• and
• determine the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter based on a first difference between a first ratio of the second parameter to the first parameter and a second ratio of the third parameter to the first parameter being greater than or equal to a predetermined value.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon one or more instructions for processing an image that, when executed by at least one processor of a device, cause the device to:

• extract first feature data from a first image;
• obtain second feature data by applying, to the first feature data, a first transformation associated with a first parameter;
• obtain third feature data by applying, to the second feature data, a second transformation associated with a second parameter;
• obtain fourth feature data by performing first image processing on the second feature data and the third feature data;
• obtain fifth feature data by applying, to the fourth feature data, a third transformation associated with a third parameter;
• obtain sixth feature data by performing second image processing on the second feature data and the fifth feature data;
• generate a second image, based on the sixth feature data;
• and
• determine the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter based on a first difference between a first ratio of the second parameter to the first parameter and a second ratio of the third parameter to the first parameter being greater than or equal to a predetermined value.
