Abstract
This application provides methods and apparatuses for processing of picture data or picture feature data using a neural network with two or more layers. 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 some embodiments, two kinds of data are combined during the processing including processing by the neural network. The two kinds of data are obtained from different stages of processing by the network. Some of the advantages may include greater scalability and a more flexible design of the neural network architecture which may further lead to better encoding/decoding performance.
