View source for Image Data Encoding Task

An [[Image Data Encoding Task]] is an [[data encoding task]] for [[image data]].
* <B>Context:</B>
** It can (typically) involve converting [[raw image data]] into [[high-dimensional feature embedding]]s.
** It can (typically) be performed by an [[Image Encodinct System]] (that implements an [[image encoding algorithm]]).
** It can range from encoding small [[image patches]] to entire [[gigapixel images]].
** It can produce outputs that serve as inputs for downstream tasks like [[image retrieval]] or [[image generation]].
** It can handle both [[2D images]] and [[3D volumetric data]] in fields like [[medical imaging]].
** ...
* <B>Example(s):</B>
** a [[CNN-based image encoder]] used for [[image classification]] in a [[real-time image recognition system]].
** a [[Vision Transformer model]] that processes [[gigapixel pathology slides]] to extract meaningful [[slide-level embeddings]].
** ...
* <B>Counter-Example(s):</B>
** [[Text Data Encoding]], which involve converting text into [[text embeddings]].
** [[Audio Data Encoding]], which focus on encoding audio signals into [[audio feature vectors]].
** [[Image Embedding Decodeing]], which ...
