VIDEO CODING METHOD USING AT LEAST EVALUATED VISUAL QUALITY AND RELATED VIDEO CODING APPARATUS

摘要

One video coding method includes at least the following steps: utilizing a visual quality evaluation module for evaluating visual quality based on data involved in a coding loop; and referring to at least the evaluated visual quality for performing sample adaptive offset (SAO) filtering. Another video coding method includes at least the following steps: utilizing a visual quality evaluation module for evaluating visual quality based on data involved in a coding loop; and referring to at least the evaluated visual quality for deciding a target coding parameter associated with sample adaptive offset (SAO) filtering.
