Improved post-processing method for use in an image signal decoding system.

摘要

A post-processing method for use in an image signal decoding system, capable of improving the image quality of the system, comprises the steps of: filtering target pixel data stored in a memory; calculating an absolute difference value between an original target pixel data and the filtered target pixel data; updating the stored target pixel data with the filtered target pixel data if the absolute difference value is smaller than a predetermined threshold value; repeating said steps of the filtering to the updating N times as long as the absolute difference value is smaller than the predetermined threshold value and updating the stored target pixel value with compensated target pixel data if the absolute difference value is equal to or larger than the predetermined threshold value, wherein the compensated target pixel data is provided by adding the original target pixel data and the predetermined threshold value if the original target pixel data is smaller than the filtered target pixel data and by subtracting the predetermined threshold value from the original target pixel data if the original target pixel data is greater than the filtered target pixel data; and repeating said steps of the filtering to the repeating for a next target pixel until all the pixels in the current frame are post-processed. <IMAGE>
