SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING PROCESSED OUTPUT IMAGE HAVING USER-SELECTABLE QUALITY FACTOR Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC G06T11/60 G06N20/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to computer engineering, namely to image processing. Disclosed is a system and a method for obtaining a processed image having a user-selectable quality factor, designed to reduce computations by adding early exit branches to the original main network, and dynamic switching of the computation path depending on how difficult it will be to visualize the output. System comprises an electronic device having a display, memory storing initial images and a set of generative adversarial networks (GAN), and a predictor. Each GAN is pre-trained and consists of N computing modules forming the main network, and multiple branches of earlier output, each of which is connected after each computing module. Predictor is an artificial neural network and is configured to predict the quality index of the processed image for each output from each branch of the earlier output based on the initial image which the user intends to supply to the input of the selected GAN.

EFFECT: reduction of computational loads and reduction of processing time.
