This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18596061 titled 'IMAGE CODING/DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREFOR
The present invention describes a method and apparatus for image coding/decoding, specifically focusing on filtering images using a decoding apparatus.
- Boundaries of a block divided into quad-tree plus binary-tree structure are derived.
- An edge among the block's boundaries is determined for de-blocking filtering.
- The type of de-blocking filtering to be applied to the edge is determined.
- De-blocking filtering is performed on a picture sample restored based on the filtering type.
- The edge or the type of de-blocking filtering is determined by considering the width or height of the block.
Potential Applications: - Video coding and decoding systems - Image processing applications - Multimedia communication technologies
Problems Solved: - Enhancing image quality by applying appropriate de-blocking filtering - Optimizing image coding and decoding processes - Improving visual experience for users
Benefits: - Higher quality images with reduced artifacts - Efficient image processing and transmission - Enhanced user experience in multimedia applications

Original Abstract Submitted
The present invention discloses an image coding/decoding method and an apparatus for the method. More specifically, a method for filtering an image by a decoding apparatus comprises deriving boundaries of a block divided into quad-tree plus binary-tree structure; determining an edge among boundaries of the block to which de-blocking filtering is applied; determining a type of de-blocking filtering to be applied to the edge; and performing de-blocking filtering to a picture sample restored according to the de-blocking filtering type, wherein the edge or the type of de-blocking filtering is determined by considering width or height of the block.
