摘要:
The simulation of film grain in an image makes use of parameters contained in a Supplemental Enhancement Information (SEI) message that accompanies the image upon transmission. The SEI message specifies film grain simulation parameters such as the film simulation model, the blending mode, and color space.
摘要:
Reduction in the blockiness of a simulated film grain block can be achieved either by the use of adaptive downscaling or adaptive deblocking filtering to adjust the intensity of the pixels at the block edge in accordance with at least one film grain block parameter, such as film grain size, intensity and texture. Performing such adaptive downscaling or adaptive deblocking filtering achieves improved performance at lower computational cost by avoiding modification of film grain block pixels in lesser affected areas.
摘要:
Individual pixels in an image block undergo blending with film grain from a film grain block randomly selected from among a pool of previously established film grain blocks in accordance with a luma characteristic of the image block. Prior to blending, the selected film grain block undergoes deblocking by a deblocking filter ( 28 ). Following blending, a clipper clips the individual pixels prior to display. The pool of film grain blocks is created by scaling a set of film grain patterns in accordance with at least one parameter of a film grain information message that accompanies the image block.
摘要:
An encoder, decoder, and corresponding method are disclosed for encoding pixel data as a plurality of block transform coefficients and decoding encoded block transform coefficients to provide reconstructed pixel data, the encoder and/or decoder includes a conditional deblocking filter for filtering only block transitions meeting pre-selected pixel brightness level criteria, where the conditional deblocking filter method includes receiving at least one first pixel adjacent to a block transition, providing a signal indicative of the brightness of the at least one first pixel, comparing the brightness signal with at least one of an upper brightness threshold and a lower brightness threshold, and conditionally filtering a plurality of adjacent pixels including the first pixel at the block transition in response to the brightness comparison.

An encoder, decoder, and corresponding method are disclosed for deblocking pixel data processed with block transformations, the encoder including a conditional deblocking filter for filtering only block transitions meeting chroma difference measure criteria; the decoder including a conditional deblocking filter for filtering only block transitions meeting chroma difference measure criteria; and the method for deblocking including receiving chroma level signals for at least two pixels disposed on opposite sides of a block transition, computing a distance measure between the chroma levels of the at least two pixels, comparing the distance measure with at least one threshold, and conditionally filtering adjacent pixels including the at least two pixels at the block transition in response to the comparison.
