Abstract
An image processing apparatus, including a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory to: obtain characteristic information of a first image, divide the characteristic information into a plurality of groups, input each group into a respective layer of a plurality of layers included in a convolutional neural network and perform a convolution operation using one or more kernels to obtain a plurality of pieces of output information, generate an attention map including weight information corresponding to each pixel included in the first image, based on the plurality of pieces of output information, generate a spatially variant kernel including a kernel corresponding to the each pixel, based on the attention map and a spatial kernel including weight information according to a position relationship between the each pixel and a neighboring pixel, and generate a second image by applying the spatially variant kernel to the first image.
