Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. An image processing device comprising:
a storage unit configured to store an object detection neural network trained using a first K-channel image generated from a first M-channel image and a first N-channel image generated from the first M-channel image;
a reception unit configured to receive, from a sensor, a second M-channel image and a second N-channel image that include an identical subject;
an image analysis unit configured to generate, using the object detection neural network trained using the first K-channel image, object detection result information with respect to a second K-channel image generated from the second M-channel image and the second N-channel image, and output the object detection result information; and
an image generation unit for converting the first M-channel image into the first N-channel image, wherein
the image generation unit is a generative adversarial network including:
a generator network configured to generate a candidate image for the first N-channel image based on the first M-channel image, and
a discriminator network configured to:
compare the candidate image with ground truth for the first N-channel image in order to determine a divergence of the candidate image with respect to the ground truth, and
output, as the first N-channel image, a candidate image that satisfies a predetermined divergence criterion, where K, M, and N are positive integers.
