Abstract

Embodiments of this disclosure provide an image coding method and apparatus and an image decoding method and apparatus. The image coding method includes: performing feature extraction on to-be-processed image data by using a convolutional neural network, to generate feature maps of the image data; quantizing the feature maps to generate discrete feature maps; preprocessing the discrete feature maps to generate preprocessed data, an amount of data of the preprocessed data being less than an amount of data of the discrete feature maps; calculating probabilities of to-be-coded data in the discrete feature maps according to the preprocessed data; and performing entropy coding on the to-be-coded data according to the probabilities of the to-be-coded data.
