1. An image processing method comprising:
extracting a first region in a first image by inputting the first image to a pretrained neural network, wherein extracting the first region comprises:
obtaining an error map by inputting the first image to the pretrained neural network; and
extracting, as the first region, a region having a greatest average error value from the error map;
upscaling a resolution of the first region by performing neural network-based super-resolution processing on the first region; and
upscaling a resolution of a second region in the first image from which the first region is excluded by performing interpolation on the second region.
