Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing an image are provided in which an image including a hole region may be downscaled, prior to restoration of a hole pixel. The downscaled hole region may be restored, and a scale of the restored hole region may be converted to an original scale thereof, by upscaling.
Claims20
An image processing method, comprising:
- generating a second image by downscaling a first image which includes a first hole region, the first hole region being converted to a second hole region in the second image during the downscaling of the first image;
- restoring a value of a first pixel in the second hole region;
- upscaling the second hole region to a scale of the first hole region;
- and
- generating a third image by setting a value of a second pixel in the upscaled second hole region to a value of a third pixel in the first hole region, the third pixel having a coordinate value corresponding to a coordinate value of the second pixel.
2 more elements
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor comprising:
- a memory having instructions stored thereon executed by the at least one processor to perform:
- generating a second image by downscaling a first image which includes a first hole region, and to upscale a second hole region in the second image to a scale of the first hole region, the first hole region being converted to the second hole region by the downscaling of the first image;
- restoring a value of a first pixel in the second hole region;
- and
- generating a third image by setting a value of a second pixel in the upscaled second hole region to a value of a third pixel in the first hole region, the third pixel having a coordinate value a corresponding to a coordinate value of the second pixel.
3 more elements
An image processing method, comprising:
- receiving an input image;
- generating a first image having a viewpoint different from a viewpoint of the input image, the first image including a first hole region;
- generating a second image by downscaling the first image and converting the first hole region to a second hole region;
- restoring a second hole pixel in the second hole region based on background information of a background region disposed adjacent to the second hole region;
- upscaling the second hole region in the second image;
- and
- generating a third image which includes the first hole region, wherein the first hole region of the third image is restored by changing a value of a first hole pixel in the first hole region of the third image to a value of an upscaled hole pixel in the upscaled second hole region, the upscaled hole pixel having a same coordinate value as the first hole pixel.
