A deblocking filter that deblocks an already-decoded video bitstream made up of pictures, which are themselves made up of slices and lines of blocks (the slices and lines not necessarily having the same number of blocks). A multi-core processor performs both decoding and deblocking. After decoding, a message is created indicating which blocks in which slices have been decoded. As the decoding has been performed in parallel on parallel cores, the blocks are not necessarily in sequential order. Messages are received and re-ordered by a deblocking filter and when a sequence (preferably a line) of blocks has been decoded, the deblocking filter takes on some of the cores and uses them to deblock the sequentially-ordered blocks. If there is only one slice in a picture, messages indicate to the deblocking filter when a full line of blocks has been received. |
