Abstract

An image processing method comprises obtaining an input image; converting the input image or a feature map of the input image into a plurality of target input images or target feature maps, wherein a resolution of each of the target input images or the target feature maps is smaller than a resolution of the feature map of the input image or the input image, and pixels at the same position in each of the target input images or the target feature maps are of a neighborhood relationship with the input image or the feature map of the input image; processing at least a part of the plurality of target input images or target feature maps by one or more convolution blocks in a convolutional neural network; and increasing a resolution of a feature map output from the one or more convolution blocks in the convolutional neural network.
