The present disclosure relates to scalable encoding and decoding of pictures. In particular, a picture is processed by one or more network layers of a trained module to obtain base layer features. Then, enhancement layer features are obtained, e.g. by a trained network processing in sample domain. The base layer features are for use in computer vision processing. The base layer features together with enhancement layer features are for use in picture reconstruction, e.g. for human vision. The base layer features and the enhancement layer features are coded in a respective base layer bitstream and an enhancement layer bitstream. Accordingly, a scalable coding is provided which supports computer vision processing and/or picture reconstruction.
