Abstract
An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment removes the noise included in the three-dimensional input image, determines the lost information in a process of obtaining the three-dimensional input image, or enhances the resolution of the three-dimensional input image, by using the neural network learned in advance. The image processing apparatus slices the three-dimensional input image along a depth, converts a three-dimensional input image into a two-dimensional input image, and inputs the converted two-dimensional input image into a neural network. The image processing apparatus generates a three-dimensional output image of which the quality of the three-dimensional input image is enhanced, based on the output of the neural network.
