ADAPTIVE LOOP FILTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18652710 titled 'ADAPTIVE LOOP FILTER

The abstract describes a method of controlling an Adaptive Loop Filter by selecting alternative chroma filters for coding tree blocks in a slice of image data.

  • The method involves obtaining data indicating available alternative chroma filters for a slice.
  • It also involves obtaining an alternative filter index for a coding tree block in the slice.
  • The selected alternative chroma filter is then used to filter chroma image data in the coding tree block.

Potential Applications: - Video coding and compression technologies - Image processing applications - Multimedia content creation

Original Abstract Submitted

A method of controlling an Adaptive Loop Filter comprises obtaining for a slice containing one or more coding tree blocks, data indicating a number of available alternative chroma filters, obtaining for a coding tree block in the slice, an alternative filter index identifying one of the available alternative chroma filters, and selecting the alternative chroma filter identified by the index to filter chroma image data in the coding tree block.
