Method and apparatus for video coding using adaptive loop filter
First Claim
1. A method for reducing blocking artifacts at the boundary between adjacent blocks reconstructed from a frame of compressed video information that includes a prediction stage parameter and a residual error attribute with respect to at least one of the blocks, the method comprising:
- reconstructing the at least one block based on the prediction stage parameter and the residual error attribute;
categorizing the at least one reconstructed block into one of a plurality of categories based on the prediction stage parameter and the residual error attribute;
identifying a filter strength value for the category in which the at least one reconstructed block is categorized based on at least one of the prediction stage parameter or the residual error attribute associated with that category; and
filtering the boundary adjacent to the at least one reconstructed block using the identified filter strength value.

Abstract
Methods for reducing blocking artifacts at the boundary between adjacent blocks reconstructed from a frame of compressed video information are disclosed herein. The frame includes a prediction stage parameter and a residual error attribute with respect to at least one of the blocks. One method includes reconstructing the at least one block based on the prediction stage parameter and the residual error attribute, categorizing the at least one reconstructed block into one of a plurality of categories based on the prediction stage parameter and the residual error attribute, identifying a filter strength value for the category in which the at least one reconstructed block is categorized based on at least one of the prediction stage parameter or the residual error attribute associated with that category, and filtering the boundary adjacent to the at least one reconstructed block using the identified filter strength value.
