    摘要: Disclosed herein in one embodiment is an adaptive coding threshold algorithm for a videoconference system which alleviates problems due to the erroneous recoding of stationary areas of images caused by image noise. The algorithm, which is preferably implementable on a videoconference encoder, assesses the coding parameters for a current macroblock and the coding parameters for that same macroblock the last time it was coded. If for both macroblocks the coding was non-intra, with a [0,0] motion vector, and with a low quantization parameter, a determination is made that the current macroblock depicts a stationary image. Accordingly, the algorithm increases the coding threshold (T1) for the blocks within that macroblock, so that it becomes more difficult for those particular blocks to be recoded. This renders the block with stationary content less susceptible to erroneous recoding, while preserving system bandwidth and improving image quality. Additionally, related noise assessment techniques can be employed at the encoder or decoder without the adjustment of the coding threshold T1.

    摘要: Described herein is a de-blocking filter arrangement for video encoders and decoders that include a de-blocking loop filter. In some embodiments, the post filter may be configured to process all edges that were not processed by the loop filter. In other embodiments the encoder may specify which edges should be processed by the loop filter and/or by the post filter. Also disclosed herein is a de-blocking filter arrangement for video encoders and decoders that include first and second de-blocking loop filters. The second loop filter is configured to operate only on slice boundaries that were not processed by the first loop filter, e.g., for one of the reasons described above.

    摘要: A method for reducing or eliminating coding artifacts in video pictures processed using intra block prediction methods, for example, according to the H.264 standard. The causes of the coding artifacts are identified to be the intra prediction modes with prediction directions that are not in the direction of the raster scan. Filtering the affected blocks with a simple one-dimensional spatial filter will reduce or even eliminate these coding artifacts.
