FILTERING METHOD FOR REMOVING BLOCK ARTIFACTS AND/OR RINGING NOISE AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

摘要

Provided are a filtering method and apparatus for removing blocking artifacts and ringing noise. The filtering method includes transforming video data on a block-by-block basis, and detecting the presence of an edge region in the video data by checking the distribution of values obtained by the transformation. Accordingly, it is possible to completely remove blocking artifacts and/or ringing noise by more effectively detecting the presence of an edge region in video data.
