Abstract
A method of processing, prior to encoding using an external encoder, image data using an artificial neural network is provided. The external encoder is operable in a plurality of encoding modes. At the neural network, image data representing one or more images is received. The image data is processed using the neural network to generate output data indicative of an encoding mode selected from the plurality of encoding modes of the external encoder. The neural network trained to select using image data an encoding mode of the plurality of encoding modes of the external encoder using one or more differentiable functions configured to emulate an encoding process. The generated output data is outputted from the neural network to the external encoder to enable the external encoder to encode the image data using the selected encoding mode.
