Claim 6:
7. A method of operating an apparatus for processing image data associated with at least one input image, the method comprising: first providing, using a convolutional neural network (CNN) based encoder, a plurality of hierarchical feature maps based on image data associated with at least one received input image; second providing, using a decoder, output data based on said plurality of feature maps, the second providing including sequentially processing at least some of said plurality of hierarchical feature maps using a convolutional long short-term memory module (Conv-LSTM), the Conv-LSTM configured to model the at least some of the plurality of hierarchical feature maps as sequential data on a decoder path; and performing, based on the output data, one of dense prediction, or sparse prediction.
