Method of reducing a blocking artifact when coding moving picture
View Patent ↗A method of coding a moving picture is provided that reduces blocking artifacts. The method can include defining a plurality of defining pixels S 0 , S 1 , and S 2 , which are centered around a block boundary. If a default mode is selected then frequency information of the surroundings of the block boundary is obtained. A magnitude of a discontinuous component in a frequency domain belonging to the block boundary is adjusted based on a magnitude of a corresponding discontinuous component selected from a pixel contained entirely within a block adjacent the block boundary. The frequency domain adjustment is then applied to a spatial domain. Or, a DC offset mode can be selected to reduce blocking artifacts in smooth regions where there is little motion.
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
obtaining regions that each include multiple areas, the areas of a first region bordering areas of a neighboring second region;
selecting a correction mode from amongst at least two correction modes, the selected correction mode using information from the first region and information from the second region; and
adjusting at least one area from the first region and at least one area from the second region using information from at least one area of the second region, based on an adjustment magnitude determined based on the selected correction mode,
wherein, when a first correction mode of the at least two correction modes is selected, adjusting the at least one area from the first region comprises adjusting a first area within the first region, adjusting a second area within the second region, the second area bordering the first area, adjusting a third area, the third area bordering the first area, and adjusting a fourth area, the fourth area bordering the second area.
2. A device comprising a deblocking filter configured to:
obtain regions that each include multiple areas, the areas of a first region bordering areas of a neighboring second region;
select a correction mode from amongst at least two correction modes, the selected correction mode using information from the first region and information from the second region; and
adjust at least one area from the first region and at least one area from the second region using information from at least one area of the second region, based on an adjustment magnitude determined based on the selected correction mode,
wherein, when a first correction mode of the at least two correction modes is selected, adjusting the at least one area, from the first region comprises adjusting a first area within the first region, adjusting a second area within the second region, the second area bordering the first area, adjusting a third area, the third area bordering the first area, and adjusting a fourth area, the fourth area bordering the second area.
