Abstract

An encoding apparatus for encoding a video signal includes: a prediction unit for generating a prediction block of a current block by using intra prediction or inter prediction; a residual data encoding unit for generating a residual block by using the current block and the prediction block, and transforming and quantizing the residual block; a residual data decoding unit for decoding a transformed and quantized residual block by inversely quantizing and inversely transforming the transformed and quantized residual block; and a deblocking filter unit for generating a reconstructed block by using a decoded residual block and the prediction block, and performing deblocking filtering, based on inter prediction information and intra prediction information of the reconstructed block and blocks neighboring the reconstructed block. The intra prediction information includes at least one of an intra prediction mode and an intra prediction block size.

Claims (19)

1. A decoding apparatus for decoding a video signal, comprising:

a residual data decoding unit configured to decode a residual block by performing inverse quantizing and inverse transforming;

a prediction unit configured to generate a prediction block;

an adder configured to reconstruct pixels of a reconstructed block by adding the prediction block and the residual block; and

a deblocking filter unit configured to perform deblocking filtering on a block edge corresponding to the reconstructed block, based on whether the block edge corresponds to an edge between prediction blocks as well as whether the block edge corresponds to an edge between transform blocks,

wherein the deblocking filter unit performs the deblocking filtering by using at least one of

a first filtering mode which corresponds to a first filtering strength and updates six pixels adjacent to the block edge; and

a second filtering mode which corresponds to a second filtering strength and updates four or fewer pixels adjacent to the block edge, the first filtering strength being stronger than the second filtering strength,

wherein the second filtering mode

calculates a delta value by using

(i) a first difference between a first most neighboring pixel to the block edge and a second most neighboring pixel to the block edge,

(ii) a second difference between two pixels which are adjacent to the first most neighboring pixel and the second most neighboring pixel respectively and have the same distance from the block edge, and

(iii) an offset value, and

updates the first most neighboring pixel and the second most neighboring pixel by using the delta value,

wherein an absolute value of a coefficient value corresponding to the second difference is larger than 1/16 and smaller than the offset value,

wherein the deblocking filter unit determines number of filtering target pixels based on a predetermined criteria, and wherein

number of the filtering target pixels included in a first block corresponding to the block edge is different from number of the filtering target pixels included in a second block corresponding to the block edge.

2. The decoding apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transform block is able to have a size which exceed the size of the prediction block.

3. The deblocking apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first filtering mode updates each of the first most neighboring pixel and the second most neighboring pixel by using 5-tap filtering corresponding to five pixels adjacent to the block edge.
