Samsung patents image processing method using layered convolution filters
Samsung describes a method for processing images by applying a specific filter to the weights of a neural network layer to create a new layer. This second layer is then used to process input data and produce an output result.
In the filing’s own words
An image processing method and an apparatus are provided. The image processing method performed by a computing device including a processor and a memory includes configuring, by the processor, a convolutional layer or a transposed convolutional layer as a first convolutional layer; setting, by the processor, a filter; performing, by the processor, a convolutional operation or a transposed convolutional operation by applying the filter to weight of the first convolutional layer and generate a second convolutional layer; and performing, by the processor, a convolutional operation or a transposed convolutional operation by applying the second convolutional layer to an input tensor and outputting a result.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A processor-implemented method comprising: setting a convolutional layer or a transposed convolutional layer as a first convolutional layer; setting a filter; applying the filter to weight of the first convolutional layer to perform a convolutional operation or a transposed convolutional operation and generate a second convolutional layer; and applying the second convolutional layer to an input tensor to perform a convolutional operation or a transposed convolutional operation and output a result.
