Encoding and decoding method, apparatus, and device, storage medium, computer program, and computer program product

Abstract

Embodiments of this application disclose encoding and decoding methods, apparatuses, and devices, a storage medium, and a computer program, which relate to the field of encoding and decoding technologies. In embodiments of this application, in a decoding process, a plurality of feature points are divided into a plurality of groups based on a specified numerical value, and probability distributions of feature points in a same group are determined in parallel to improve decoding efficiency. Correspondingly, in an encoding process, the plurality of feature points are also grouped in a same grouping manner, and first image features of each group of feature points in the plurality of groups are sequentially encoded into a bit stream. To be concise, this solution can break through an efficiency bottleneck caused by serial computing when decoding is performed based on a variational auto-encoder (VAE), thereby effectively improving decoding efficiency.
