Samsung patents image fixer that cleans up compressed photos

This patent describes a method for electronic devices to automatically detect how much a photo has been compressed and remove the resulting visual noise. The device selects a specific cleaning tool, or model, based on the compression level and the type of app showing the image to restore clarity.

Why it mattersIt could make photos look sharper on phones and tablets without users needing to manually edit them, improving the visual quality of everyday media consumption.

In the filing’s own words

A compression quality of a compression image is classified and a compression artifact of the compression image is removed on the basis of a noise removal model trained to correspond to the compression quality. The image with the artifact removed is a corrected image. An electronic device includes a display, a memory, and a processor. The processor selects a noise removal model trained to correspond to the determined compression quality and displays the corrected image for user feedback. The user may confirm or reject the correction.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. An electronic device comprising: a display; a memory storing instructions; and a processor operatively connected to the display and the memory, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to: identify a type of an application providing at least one image; select a denoising model related to the identified type of the application from a plurality of denoising models trained to correspond to the respective one or more compression qualities; perform an image correction based on the denoising model; and display a corrected image via the display.
