1. A method of image processing, comprising:
acquiring a to-be-processed image;
zooming out the to-be-processed image from a first size to a second size;
performing a splicing processing on a first output feature map from a first processing unit and the to-be-processed image of the second size to obtain a first spliced output feature map for inputting into a second processing unit of a first codec;
determining, by processing circuitry of an electronic device, a first feature map based on at least a feature reconstruction on the to-be-processed image of the second size by the first codec of a first set of coding units, the first set of coding units comprising at least a pair of encoder and decoder, a coding unit in the first codec including at least the first processing unit and the second processing unit;
zooming in the first feature map to the first size;
performing a splicing processing on the to-be-processed image of the first size and the first feature map of the first size to obtain a spliced feature map; and
performing a feature reconstruction on the spliced feature map by a target codec, to obtain a target image, the target codec comprising a target set of coding units, a first subset of the target set of coding units corresponding to the first set of coding units.
