Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for processing of picture data or picture feature data using a neural network with two or more layers are provided. The present disclosure may be applied in the field of artificial intelligence (AI)-based video or picture compression technologies, and in particular, to the field of neural network-based video compression technologies. According to the present disclosure, position within the neural network, at which auxiliary information may be entered for processing is selectable based on a gathering condition. The gathering condition may assess whether some prerequisite is fulfilled. Advantages may include better performance in terms of rate and/or disclosure due to the effect of increased flexibility in neural network configurability.
