    Abstract: A quantization parameter optimization method includes: determining a cost function in which a regularization term is added to an error function, the regularization term being a function of a quantization error that is an error between a weight parameter of a neural network and a quantization parameter that is a quantized weight parameter; updating the quantization parameter by use of the cost function; and determining, as an optimized quantization parameter of a quantization neural network, the quantization parameter with which a function value derived from the cost function satisfies a predetermined condition, the optimized quantization parameter being obtained as a result of repeating the updating, the quantization neural network being the neural network, the weight parameter of which has been quantized, wherein the function value derived from the regularization term and an inference accuracy of the quantization neural network are negatively correlated.

    Abstract: A color image inpainting method includes: obtaining a color image of an object to be recognized, the color image including a missing portion where at least part of image information is missing; obtaining an infrared image of the object; identifying the missing portion in the color image; and inpainting the missing portion in the color image identified in the identifying. The inpainting includes inpainting the missing portion by using information which is obtained from the infrared image and corresponds to the missing portion to obtain an inpainted color image of the object.
