PATCH PARTITIONS AND IMAGE PROCESSING

Patch partition and image processing techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a system includes one or more modules implemented at least partially in hardware. The one or more modules are configured to perform operations including grouping a plurality of patches taken from a plurality of training samples of images into respective ones of a plurality of partitions, calculating an image processing operator for each of the partitions, determining distances between the plurality of partitions that describe image similarity of patches of the plurality of partitions, one to another, and configuring a database to provide the determined distance and the image processing operator to process an image in response to identification of a respective partition that corresponds to a patch taken from the image.
