An image processing pipeline including a still or video camera includes a first neural network arranged to process and provide a neural network based result for at least one of an image capture setting, sensor processing, global post processing, local post processing, and portfolio post processing. A second neural network is arranged to receive the neural network result and further provide at least one of an image capture setting, sensor processing, global post processing, local post processing, and portfolio post processing, wherein at least one of the first and second neural networks generate data on local processors supported by the still or video camera.
