Abstract: An image processing apparatus and a method are provided. The apparatus comprises a plurality of processing modules configured to operate in series to refine a raw image captured by a camera, the modules comprising a first module and a second module, each of which independently implements a respective trained artificial intelligence model, wherein: the first module implements an image transformation operation that performs an operation from the set comprising: (i) an essentially pixel-level operation that increases sharpness of an image input to the module, (ii) an essentially pixel-level operation that decreases sharpness of an image input to the module, (iii) an essentially pixel-block-level operation on an image input to the module; and the second module as a whole implements a different operation from the said set.
