Abstract:
An artificial intelligence (AI) upscaling apparatus for upscaling a low-resolution image to a high-resolution image includes: a memory storing one or more instructions; and a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory, wherein the processor is configured to: obtain a second image corresponding to a first image, which is downscaled from an original image by an AI downscaling apparatus by using a first deep neural network (DNN); and obtain a third image by upscaling the second image by using a second DNN corresponding to the first DNN, and wherein the second DNN is trained to minimize a difference between a first restored image, which results from applying no pixel movement to an original training image, and second restored images, which result from downscaling, upscaling, and subsequently retranslating one or more translation images obtained by applying pixel movement to the original training image.
