METHOD AND APPARATUS OF REDUCING COMPRESSION NOISE IN DIGITAL VIDEO STREAMS

摘要

Method and apparatus for reducing random noise in digital video streams are described. In one innovative aspect, a device for reducing noise of a video stream is provided. The device includes a ringing noise detector configured to identify ringing noise in an image included in the video stream. The device further includes a block detector configured to identify a block pattern in the image included in the video stream, the block detector configured to identify block patterns of a predetermined size and block patterns of an arbitrary size. The device also includes a noise reducer configured to filter the image based on the identified ringing noise and the block pattern.
