Abstract
An image processing apparatus, including a memory configured to store one or more instructions; and a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory to obtain similarity information indicating a similarity between each pixel of a plurality of pixels included in a first image and an adjacent pixel of the each pixel; generate a weight map including weight information corresponding to the each pixel, based on the similarity information; generate a spatially variant kernel including a plurality of kernels corresponding to the plurality of pixels, based on the weight map and a spatial kernel including weight information based on a location relationship between the each pixel and the adjacent pixel; and generate a second image by applying the spatially variant kernel to the first image.
