IMAGE ENCODING/DECODING METHOD AND DEVICE USING FILTERING, AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING BITSTREAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18419032 titled 'IMAGE ENCODING/DECODING METHOD AND DEVICE USING FILTERING, AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING BITSTREAM

Simplified Explanation

The image encoding/decoding method described in the patent application involves deriving a reconstructed block for a current block, determining a target boundary for the reconstructed block, determining a filter length for a deblocking filter to be applied at the target boundary, and applying the deblocking filter based on the determined filter length.

  • Deriving a reconstructed block for a current block
  • Determining a target boundary for the reconstructed block
  • Determining a filter length for a deblocking filter
  • Applying the deblocking filter based on the determined filter length

Original Abstract Submitted

An image encoding/decoding method and apparatus are provided. An image decoding method performed by an image decoding apparatus may comprise deriving a reconstructed block for a current block, deriving a target boundary for the reconstructed block, determining a filter length of a deblocking filter to be applied for the target boundary, and applying the deblocking filter for the target boundary based on the determined filter length. The filter length may be determined based on at least one of a width or height of a transform block adjacent to the target boundary.
