Selective filtering based on the motion compensation error of two adjacent transform blocks
A semiconductor for decoding coded image and audio data, which includes an audio processor that decodes coded audio data, and an image decoder that decodes image data. The image decoder removes coding distortion in pixels of two adjacent transform blocks which are motion-compensated, having a coded motion compensation error equal to zero, and are located inside a same macroblock. The image decoder includes a motion compensation block boundary detector that determines whether the motion compensation error of the two adjacent transform blocks located inside the macroblock is zero, and determines whether a boundary of two adjacent transform block is also a boundary of two adjacent motion-compensation blocks. The image decoder also includes a filter that removes coding distortion in pixels of the two adjacent transform blocks, and a selector that selects whether or not the filter removes the coding distortion based on the determination of the motion compensation block boundary detector.
1. A semiconductor, comprising:
an audio processor that decodes coded audio data;
an image decoder that decodes coded image data,
wherein the image decoder removes coding distortion in pixels of two adjacent transform blocks which are motion-compensated, having a coded motion compensation error equal to zero, and are located inside a same macroblock, a transform block being a unit for which a frequency transformation is applied, and
wherein the image decoder includes:
a motion compensation block boundary detector that determines whether the motion compensation error of the two adjacent transform blocks located inside the macroblock is zero, and determines whether a boundary of two adjacent transform blocks is also a boundary of two adjacent motion-compensation blocks, a motion-compensation block being a unit for which a motion compensation is applied;
a filter that removes coding distortion in pixels of the two adjacent transform blocks; and
a selector that selects whether or not the filter removes the coding distortion based on the determination of the motion compensation block boundary detector,
wherein the selector selects that the filter removes the coding distortion in pixels of the two adjacent transform blocks when a block boundary of the two adjacent transform blocks is a boundary of two adjacent motion-compensation blocks, having a coded motion compensation error equal to zero, and being located inside a same macroblock,
wherein the selector selects that the filter does not remove the coding distortion in pixels of the two adjacent transform blocks when both of the two adjacent transform blocks are located inside either one of the two adjacent motion-compensation blocks, having a coded motion compensation error equal to be zero, and being located inside the same macroblock, and
wherein a block size of each of the two adjacent motion-compensation blocks is smaller than a block size of the same macroblock, and a block size of each of the two adjacent motion-compensation blocks is greater than a block size of the transform block.
2. The semiconductor according to claim 1 , wherein
the block size of the same macroblock is a size of 16×16 pixels, and
the block size of the transform block is a size of 4×4 pixels.
