1. An encoding apparatus comprising:
a determining unit for determining whether to generate encoded data of a frame where a plurality of feature maps obtained based at least on processing an input image by a neural network is arranged; and
an encoding unit for generating encoded data of an input image using a plurality of functions including at least matrix intra prediction (MIP) in a case where the encoded data of the input image is to be generated instead of the frame where the plurality of feature maps is arranged,
wherein in a case where it is determined that the encoded data of the frame, where the plurality of feature maps is arranged, is to be generated, the encoding unit uses a first part of the plurality of functions but does not use a second part of the plurality of functions including matrix intra prediction (MIP).
