In recent years, video analysis using Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been widely used, due to the remarkable development of image recognition technology using deep learning. In 2019, the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) has started standardization of Video Coding for Machines (VCM) as a video coding technology for image recognition. In the framework of VCM, both higher image recognition accuracy and video compression performance are required. In this paper, we propose an extention scheme of video coding for object detection using Versatile Video Coding (VVC). Unlike video for human vision, video used for object detection does not require a large image size or high contrast. Since downsampling of the image can reduce the amount of information to be transmitted. Due to the decrease in image contrast, entropy of the image becomes smaller. Therefore, in our proposed scheme, the original image is reduced in size and contrast, then coded with VVC encoder to achieve high compression performance. Then, the output image from the VVC decoder is restored to its original image size using the bicubic method. Experimental results show that the proposed video coding scheme achieves better coding performance than regular VVC in terms of object detection accuracy.
