Post-processing device and method for eliminating blocking artifacts from decompressed images

摘要

A post-processing device for eliminating a blocking artifact generated upon reconstructing an image compressed by block transform operation and a method thereof minimize a blocking artifact at block boundaries by selecting a predetermined a discrete cosine transform (DCT), estimating transform coefficients with respect to the information lost upon quantization or inverse quantization to have the highest continuity with respect to adjacent blocks, performing inverse transform operation on the estimated transform coefficients, and adding the thus-obtained adjustment value to an inverse-transform-operated reconstructed image signal. <IMAGE>
