    Abstract: A method of generating an output feature map based on an input feature map, the method including: generating an input feature map vector for a plurality of input feature map blocks when the number of channels of the input feature map is less than a certain number of reference channels; performing a convolution operation on the input feature map based on a target weight map and an additional weight map that has a weight identical to that of the target weight map, when the target weight map numbers less than a reference number; and generating an output feature map based on the performed convolution operation.
