A conventional codec aims to increase the compression efficiency for transmission and storage while maintaining video quality. However, as the number of platforms using machine vision rapidly increases, a codec that increases the compression efficiency and maintains the accuracy of machine vision tasks must be devised. Hence, the Moving Picture Experts Group created a standardization process for video coding for machines (VCM) to reduce bitrates while maintaining the accuracy of machine vision tasks. In particular, in‐loop filters have been developed for improving the subjective quality and machine vision task accuracy. However, the high computational complexity of in‐loop filters limits the development of a high‐performance VCM architecture. We analyze the effect of an in‐loop filter on the VCM performance and propose a suboptimal VCM method based on the selective activation of in‐loop filters. The proposed method reduces the computation time for video coding by approximately 5% when using the enhanced compression model and 2% when employing a Versatile Video Coding test model while maintaining the machine vision accuracy and compression efficiency of the VCM architecture.
