Abstract
An apparatus and method for coding machine vision data using a reduction of feature map are disclosed. To reduce the size of a feature map extracted by a machine task-specialized deep learning model, a Video Coding for Machines (VCM) coding apparatus and a method are provided. The VCM coding apparatus and the method utilize a sparsification method that reduces redundancy in terms of space and channels of the feature map, and the VCM coding apparatus and the method also utilize a feature map decomposition method based on tensor decomposition.
