A METHOD AND ASSOCIATED DEVICE FOR FILTERING DIGITAL VIDEO IMAGES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for reducing visual artefacts in a frame of a digital video signal, which is coded by blocks and then decoded. A block type is defined according to the coding method for a block selected according to a predetermined set of coding types. In the method filtering is performed to reduce visual artefacts due to a block boundary. The filtering performed depends on block types of the frame in the environment of the block boundary (30).
