Abstract

Provided is an image processing apparatus for generating a high-resolution image. The image processing apparatus includes a memory storing one or more instructions and a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory, wherein the processor is configured to extract feature information regarding a low-resolution image of a current frame by using a first convolutional neural network, generate, based on the feature information, a first high-resolution image of the current frame, remove flickering of the first high-resolution image by using a high-resolution image of a previous frame, and remove flickering of a high-resolution image of a next frame by using at least one of a flickering-removed second high-resolution image of the current frame, or the feature information.
