Claim 0:
1. An image preprocessing apparatus using machine learning-based artificial intelligence, the image preprocessing apparatus comprising a computing system, the computing system comprising:
a processor;
a communication interface configured to receive an input image; and
an artificial neural network configured to generate a first preprocessing condition and a second preprocessing condition through inference on the input image, wherein the first preprocessing condition has first descriptive information regarding a first task for processing a first task-specified part of the input image and the second preprocessing condition has second descriptive information regarding a second task for processing a second task-specified part of the input image, wherein the second task-specified part is a tissue region of a different organ from the first task-specified part, or a lesion of a same organ as the first task-specified part whereas the first task-specified part is a healthy tissue region of the same organ,
wherein the processor comprises:
a first preprocessing module configured to generate a first preprocessed image by applying the first preprocessing condition to the input image; and
a second preprocessing module configured to generate a second preprocessed image by applying the second preprocessing condition to the input image, and

wherein the processor is configured to control the first preprocessing module, the second preprocessing module, the artificial neural network, and the communication interface so that the first preprocessed image and the second preprocessed image are transferred to an image analysis module configured to perform image analysis on the input image based on the first preprocessed image and the second preprocessed image.
