US Patent 10360664 Image processing apparatus and method using machine learning

Disclosed are an image processing apparatus and an image processing method. The image processing method performed in the image processing apparatus comprises receiving a blurred image; generating an intermediate image from the blurred image, the intermediate image including artifacts with less sensitivity to changes in a blur kernel than the blurred image; and generating a first corrected image by removing the artifacts of the intermediate image using an artifact removal model. Therefore, it is made possible to learn how to remove artifacts of the intermediate image without the image processing apparatus learning a direct deconvolution method.
