<p>A method and apparatus for loop filter processing of video data are disclosed. Embodiments according to the present invention eliminate data dependency associated with loop processing across tile boundaries. According to one embodiment, loop processing is reconfigured to eliminate data dependency across tile boundaries if cross-tile loop processing is disabled. The loop filter processing corresponds to DF (deblocking filter), SAO (Sample Adaptive Offset) processing or ALF (Adaptive Loop Filter) processing. The processing can be skipped for at least one tile boundary. In another embodiment, data padding based on the pixels of the current tile or modifying pixel classification footprint are used to eliminate data dependency across the tile boundary. Whether cross-tile loop processing is disabled can be indicated by a flag coded at sequence, picture, or slice level to indicate whether the data dependency across said at least one tile boundary is allowed.</p> |
