The application for the patent was published on September 04, 2026, under issue no. 36/2026.
Abstract: Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of media. Disclosed are an encoding method and apparatus, and a decoding method and apparatus, for use in reducing image decoding latency. The method comprises: performing feature extraction on an input image to obtain a first feature map of the input image; determining N groups of second feature maps of the input image on the basis of the first feature map; and performing entropy encoding on at least one group of second feature maps of the input image to obtain a code stream. N is a positive integer. It can be seen that in the method provided in the embodiments of the present application, a progressive encoding method is used, and some feature maps of the input image can be encoded. Compared with encoding all feature maps of the input image, encoding some feature maps of the input image can reduce image encoding latency. In addition, the first group of second feature maps of the input image are feature maps having the maximum channel entropy (variance) among the N groups of second feature maps of the input image, and a decoding end can obtain a complete reconstructed image on the basis of the feature maps.
