System for and method of sharpness enhancement for coded digital video

摘要

A method and system for calculating a UME for each pixel in a frame of video data. A system for enhancing sharpness of a coded digital video signal representative a frame of block-based data is provided, comprising: a system for calculating a UME of each pixel in the frame in accordance with a frame type, wherein the calculating system includes: a mechanism that defines local spatial features in the frame; a mechanism that analyzes block-based motion estimation for the frame; a mechanism that detects a scene change in the frame; and a sharpness enhancer that improves sharpness to a decoded version of the digital video signal based on said UME.
