FIELD: physics, video.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to controlling filtering and particularly to controlling deblocking filtering on block boundaries in a video frame. A block-specific filter decision value is calculated for a pixel block in a video frame. If the block-specific filter decision value is below a block-specific threshold, each line or column in the block is individually processed in order to select between a strong and a weak deblocking filter. A respective line-specific filter decision value is thereby calculated for each row or column in the block and compared to a line-specific threshold. If the line-specific filter decision value calculated for a row or column is below the line-specific threshold a strong deblocking filter is selected for the row or column, otherwise a weak deblocking filter is instead selected to combat any blocking artefacts.EFFECT: high efficiency of deblocking filtering by eliminating or reducing blocking artfacts.11 cl, 11 dwg |
