Image processing system with the neural network

摘要

Disclosed is an image processing apparatus having input device for inputting binary image data comprising a plurality of pixels which include a pixel of interest that is to be subjected to multivalued conversion, these plurality of pixels being contained in an area that is asymmetrical with respect to the position of the pixel of interest, and multivalued converting device for executing processing, by a neural network, to restore the inputted binary image data to multivalued image data of the pixel of interest, whereby multivalued image data is estimated from binarized image data. It is possible to reduce the number of pixels referred to in arithmetic operations performed in the neural network. IMAGE
