Abstract
A method and system for processing multiple frames of a video by a neural network are provided. Two frames of a video may be analyzed to determine if at least a portion of the layer-by-layer processing by a neural network can be skipped or terminated. Processing of a first frame of the video is performed by the neural network. A next frame of the video is processed by the neural network, such that processing of fewer layers (or sets of operations) of the neural network is performed if the first frame and the second frame are substantially similar.
