Method of coding artifacts reduction
First Claim
Patent Images
1. Method to reduce coding artifacts within a discrete decoded picture, said method comprising the steps of:
- spatial and/or temporal filtering with respective filter characteristics dependent on an image quality value,wherein said spatial filtering includes a deblocking filtering,wherein the deblocking filter operation decreases with an increasing image quality value,wherein said deblocking filtering chooses an activity-dependent weighting function for a pixel to be filtered according to a image quality value, andwherein the activity of both blocks to which common border said pixel belongs is considered.

Abstract
A method to reduce coding artifacts within a discrete decoded picture includes a spatial and/or temporal filtering with respective filter characteristics dependent on an image quality value (Q). Preferably, the spatial filtering includes a deblocking filtering, wherein the deblocking filter operation decreases with an increasing image quality value (Q) and/or the deblocking filtering chooses a image quality value (Q) dependent weighting function for a pixel to be filtered according to an activity of both blocks to which common border said pixel belongs.

15. Method to reduce coding artifacts within a discrete decoded picture, said method comprising the steps of:
-
spatial and/or temporal filtering with respective filter characteristics dependent on an image quality value, wherein said spatial filtering includes a deringing filtering, wherein the deringing filter operation decreases with an increasing image quality value, and wherein said deringing filtering is a two dimensional filtering taking only neighboring pixels of said pixel to be filtered into account which belong to a same region. - View Dependent Claims (17)

16. Method to reduce coding artifacts within a discrete decoded picture, said method comprising the steps of:
-
spatial and/or temporal filtering with respective filter characteristics dependent on an image quality value, wherein the temporal filter operation decreases with an increasing image quality value, and wherein the temporal filter operation is realized with a blending filter applied to an entire frame which determines a new frame as a weighted sum of a predicted frame and an actual frame, which weighting is dependent on said image quality value and a difference of the actual frame with the predicted frame.
