ENCODING METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREFOR, AND DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17967612 titled 'ENCODING METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREFOR, AND DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The video decoding method described in the patent application involves applying a deblocking filter to neighboring pixels adjacent to a boundary of a current block. The method includes selecting a deblocking filter from a plurality of filters based on the pixel values of the neighboring pixels and the size of the current block. The selected deblocking filter is then applied to the neighboring pixels. The plurality of deblocking filters includes three or more filters with different ranges of neighboring pixels for filtering.
- The method applies a deblocking filter to neighboring pixels adjacent to a block boundary in video decoding.
- A deblocking filter is selected from a set of filters based on the pixel values of neighboring pixels and the size of the current block.
- The selected deblocking filter is applied to the neighboring pixels.
- The set of deblocking filters includes three or more filters with different ranges of neighboring pixels for filtering.
Potential Applications
- Video decoding in various multimedia devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers.
- Streaming services and video playback applications can benefit from improved video quality.
- Video editing software can utilize this method to enhance the visual appearance of videos.
Problems Solved
- The method addresses the issue of blockiness or artifacts that can occur at block boundaries in video decoding.
- By applying different deblocking filters based on pixel values and block size, the method can effectively reduce visual distortions.
- It provides a more refined and adaptive approach to deblocking, resulting in improved video quality.
Benefits
- Improved video quality with reduced blockiness and artifacts at block boundaries.
- Adaptive selection of deblocking filters based on pixel values and block size leads to better visual appearance.
- The method can be implemented in existing video decoding systems without significant modifications.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a video decoding method of applying a deblocking filter to neighboring pixels adjacent to a boundary of a current block, the video decoding method including selecting a deblocking filter to be applied to the neighboring pixels from among a plurality of deblocking filters according to pixel values of the neighboring pixels and a size of the current block, and applying the selected deblocking filter to the neighboring pixels, wherein the plurality of deblocking filters include three or more deblocking filters having different ranges of neighboring pixels to which deblocking filtering is applied.
