Assignee: TENCENT AMERICA LLC
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 10:
11. An apparatus for image processing, the apparatus comprising:
at least one memory configured to store computer program code;
at least one processor configured to access the computer program code and operate as instructed by the computer program code, the computer program code including:
obtaining code configured to cause the at least one processor to obtain an input low resolution (LR) image comprising a height, a width, and a number of channels;
implementing code configured to cause the at least one processor to implement a feature learning deep neural network (DNN) configured to compute a feature tensor based on the input LR image;
generating code configured to cause the at least one processor to generate, by an upscaling DNN, a high resolution (HR) image, having a higher resolution than the input LR image, based on the feature tensor computed by the feature learning DNN,

wherein a networking structure of the upscaling DNN differs depending on different scale factors, and
wherein a networking structure of the feature learning DNN is a same structure for each of the different scale factors.
