Abstract
An apparatus for generating first encoded data and second encoded data. The apparatus comprises a determining unit for determining whether the apparatus generates encoded data including encoded data of a feature map based on a neural network. The apparatus also comprise an encoding unit for generating the first encoded data using a plurality of functions for encoding video data, in a case where the apparatus generates the first encoded data in a form of encoded video data not including the encoded data of the feature map. The encoding unit generates the encoded data of the feature map using a first part of the plurality of functions but not using a second part of the plurality of functions, in a case where the apparatus generates the second encoded data including the encoded data of the feature map.
