Abstract
An apparatus for performing image processing, may include at least one processor configured to: input an image to a vision transformer comprising a plurality of encoders that correspond to at least one fixed encoder and a plurality of adaptive encoders; process the image via the at least one fixed encoder to obtain image representations; determine one or more layers of the plurality of adaptive encoders to drop, by inputting the image representations to a policy network configured to determine layer dropout actions for the plurality of adaptive encoders; and obtain a class of the input image using remaining layers of the plurality of adaptive encoders other than the dropped one or more layers.
