Claim 0:
1. A method implemented by a data processing apparatus, comprising:
receiving an image;
providing a set-point for a desired image quality parameter of said image;
processing said image using an image analysis technique for determining a current image quality parameter of said image;
comparing said current image quality parameter with said desired set-point, and generating, based on said comparison, a modified image by using an image modification technique, wherein said generating comprises the steps of:
improving said image in terms of said image quality parameter in case said current image quality parameter is lower than said set-point; and
deteriorating said image in terms of said image quality parameter in case said current image quality parameter exceeds said set-point; and
outputting and analysing said modified image, wherein said analysing comprises the step of using an artificial neural network (ANN) and/or a convolutional neural network (CNN) on said modified image.
