This invention describes an image signal processing system that uses a special kind of artificial intelligence, called a convolutional neural network, to improve pictures. The network works by splitting an input image into different detail levels, processing each level separately, and then combining them to create a better-quality output image. It learns how to do this by being shown many examples of raw images and what the desired improved versions should look like.
Why it matters: Filed before widespread integration of AI accelerators into consumer hardware, the significant advancements in mobile and edge AI processing power since 2016 make deploying such a sophisticated neural network ISP practical and performant on everyday devices.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
