Abstract

Provided are neural network-based image processing method and apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium. The image processing method includes: inputting an image into an optimized neural network; extracting, by the optimized neural network, image features of the image; and outputting the image features, wherein the optimized neural network is obtained by performing a first optimization process on at least one sub-layer in a pre-trained initial neural network, each sub-layer of the at least one sub-layer includes a convolutional layer, and the first optimization process comprises: for each sub-layer of the at least one sub-layer, determining one or more channels to be removed from a filter of the convolutional layer and removing said one or more channels, and optimizing parameters of remaining channels in the filter of the convolutional layer, so that error of output features of each optimized sub-layer is minimized.
