IMAGE CODING/DECODING METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

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.

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.
