IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND MULTI-FRAME PROCESSING METHOD USING SAME

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: identify, in a previous frame, a prediction sample corresponding to a current sample of a current frame, generate a prediction frame for the current frame by changing a sample value of a collocated sample of the previous frame, wherein the collocated sample of the previous frame is collocated with the current sample, according to a sample value of the prediction sample, derive a weight by comparing a sample value of the current sample with the sample value of the prediction sample, apply the weight to a collocated sample of the prediction frame, wherein the collocated sample of the prediction frame is collocated with the current sample, to obtain a weighted prediction frame, and obtain a current output frame by processing the current frame and the weighted prediction frame through a neural network comprising a convolution layer.
