Abstract: An image processing method includes: inputting data representative of an image into a machine learning system, the machine learning system having been previously trained to predict a gaze position of viewers of images; obtaining a predicted gaze position from the machine learning system in response to the input data; performing predicted gaze position dependent image processing, the image processing producing at least a first region of the image corresponding to where a viewer is predicted to gaze, and a second region, with a first image quality of the first region being higher than a second image quality of the second region; and outputting the processed image.

Abstract: A method of rendering image frames for a videogame comprises the steps of, for one or more predetermined features of a virtual environment of a videogame, setting a respective per-frame movement distance threshold; calculating a respective minimum frame rate at which movement of the or each predetermined features of the virtual environment of the videogame between successive image frames remains within the respective movement distance threshold; detecting whether the current frame rate is below one or more of the respective minimum frame rates; and if so, reducing a rendering resolution used during rendering of one or more subsequent image frames to increase the frame rate above one or more of the minimum frame rates.
