<p> A method and system (140) for processing a digital image and improving the appearance of the image while enhancing the compressibility oif the image. The digital image has a plurality of input pixels. The image processing system has a filter selection mechanism (230) for receiving a filter selection window corresponding to a current input pixel and responsive thereto for generating a filter identifier based on either an edge parameter computed based on the filter selection window or an activity metric computed based on the filter selection window or an activity metric computer based on the filter seection window. A filther application unit (240) that is coupled to the filter selection mechanism for receiving the filter identifier and applifying a filter identified by the filter identifier to an input pixel window to generate an output pixel is also provided.</p> |
