Abstract: A method for processing an image by using a neural network is provided. The method includes obtaining a target image; and obtaining a restored image corresponding to the target image by using the neural network, the neural network including a plurality of residual blocks connected sequentially. The obtaining the restored image includes obtaining the restored image by performing, in each residual block of the plurality of residual blocks, image processing on an input image, which is input from a previous residual block, on different scales, and providing results of the image processing performed on the different scales to a subsequent residual block.

Abstract: An image device generates a plurality of multi-view output images on the basis of an input image, and outputs the plurality of generated output images. The plurality of output images are outputted in a direction opposite to the views of the output images. The plurality of outputted output images are projected towards a left eye and a right eye of a viewer of the image device such that the viewer can recognize three-dimensional images.

Abstract: An image processing method and apparatus are provided. The image processing method may include determining whether stereoscopic objects that are included in an image pair and that correspond to each other are aligned on the same horizontal line. The method includes determining whether the image pair includes target objects having different geometric features from those of the stereoscopic objects if the stereoscopic objects are not aligned on the same horizontal line. The method includes performing image processing differently for the stereoscopic objects and for the target objects if the image pair includes the target objects.

Abstract: Provided is an image processing apparatus. A region of interest (ROI) configuration unit may generate a visual attention map according to a visual attention of a human in correspondence to an input three dimensional (3D) image. A disparity adjustment unit may adjust disparity information, included in the input 3D image, using the visual attention map. Using the disparity information adjusted result, a 3D image having a decreased visual fatigue may be generated and be displayed.
