A method for efficient removal of blocking artifacts in blocks of pixels forming a video image frame, without blurring image edges. First a current pixel is checked to determine whether it is a block boundary pixel. If the current pixel is a boundary pixel, then the "1-D central variance" is computed for horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions that cross the block boundary by using three pixels along a line centered at the current pixel. The "least central variance direction" is then determined by finding the direction which has minimal "1-D central variance". Then, the current pixel is updated by replacing its value with the average value of the three pixels along the "least central variance direction", to essentially remove undesirable blocking artifacts.
