Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method, an apparatus and a storage medium for encoding/decoding using a transform-based feature map. An optimal basis vector is extracted from one or more feature maps, and a transform coefficient is acquired through a transform using the basis vector. The basis vector and the transform coefficient may be transmitted through a bitstream. In an embodiment, one or more feature maps are reconstructed using the basis vector and the transform coefficient, which are decoded from the bitstream.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for encoding and decoding an image by skip encoding. The image-encoding method by skip encoding, which performs intra-prediction, comprises: performing a filtering operation on the signal which is reconstructed prior to an encoding object signal in an encoding object image; using the filtered reconstructed signal to generate a prediction signal for the encoding object signal; setting the generated prediction signal as a reconstruction signal for the encoding object signal; and not encoding the residual signal which can be generated on the basis of the difference between the encoding object signal and the prediction signal, thereby performing skip encoding on the encoding object signal.
