    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an image segmentation apparatus, method and relevant computing device. The image segmentation apparatus comprises: a feature extractor configured to extract N image semantic features having different scales from an input image, where N is an integer not less than 3; and a feature processor comprising cascaded dense-refine networks and being configured to perform feature processing on the N image semantic features to obtain a binarized mask image for the input image. A dense-refine network is configured to generate a low-frequency semantic feature from semantic features input thereto by performing densely-connected convolution processing on the semantic features respectively to obtain respective image global features, performing feature fusion on the image global features to obtain a fused image global feature, and performing pooling processing on the fused image global feature to generate and output the low-frequency semantic feature. The semantic features are selected from a group consisting of the N image sematic features and low-frequency semantic features generated by dense-refine networks. The feature processor is configured to obtain the binarized mask image based on low-frequency semantic features generated by the dense-refine networks.

    Abstract: An image upscaling system includes at least two convolutional neural network modules and at least one synthesizer. The convolutional neural network module and the synthesizer are alternately connected to one another. The first convolutional neural network module receive an input image and the corresponding supplemental image, generate a first number of the feature images, and output them to the next synthesizer connected thereto. Other convolutional neural network modules each may receive the output image from the previous synthesizer and the corresponding supplemental image, generate a second number of feature images, and output them to the next synthesizer connected thereto, or output them from the image upscaling system. The synthesizer may synthesize every n*n feature images in the received feature image into one feature image and output the resultant third number of feature images to the next convolutional neural network module connected thereto or output them from the image upscaling system.

    Abstract: A color compensation circuit comprises an acquisition unit for acquiring, from a video signal, gray image of a frame to be displayed and chrominance image of any color; wherein a chrominance value in the video signal, corresponding to at least a portion of pixels within the chrominance image, is absent; a processing unit for smoothly processing the chrominance value in the chrominance image according to the change trend of gray value in the gray image to obtain a chrominance image with color compensated. The present disclosure can solve the problem that compression and decompression of a video signal during transmission will significantly decrease the frame display effect, and thereby helping improve the frame display effect in a transmission scenario with the loss of chrominance value of the video signal.
