Claim 9:
10. A method using a neural network to determine whether or not to process images of an image flow, the method comprising:
(a) storing in a memory of a computing device a predictive model generated by a neural network training engine;
(b) receiving by a processing unit of the computing device an image of the image flow;
(c) executing by the processing unit of the computing device a neural network inference engine implementing the neural network, the neural network using the predictive model for generating an indication of whether or not to process the image based on one or more input of the neural network, the one or more input comprising the image and a previous indication of whether or not to process a previous image of the image flow;
(d) determining by the processing unit of the computing device whether or not to process the image by an image processing module executed by the processing unit of the computing device based on the indication of whether or not to process the image;
(e) processing the image by the image processing module if the determination is positive and not processing the image by the image processing module if the determination is negative; and
(f) storing the indication of whether or not to process the image in the memory of the computing device, the indication being used as input of the neural network along with a following image of the image flow.
