METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMPRESSING OR RESTORING IMAGE

A method for restoring a compressed image according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes receiving monochrome image data and low resolution color image data generated from an original color image of the monochrome image data, decoding the monochrome image data and generating a low resolution monochrome image, decoding the low resolution color image data generating a low resolution color image; processing the low resolution monochrome image and generating a high resolution monochrome image in accordance with a super resolution imaging neural network; and generating a high resolution color image based on the low resolution color image and the high resolution monochrome image in accordance with a colorization imaging neural network. The imaging neural network of the present disclosure may be a deep neural network generated by machine learning, and images may be input and output in the Internet of Things environment using a 5G network.
