    摘要: A method and apparatus for preprocessing a video signal prior to its being encoded. During preprocessing, features are extracted from the video signal into feature planes which are each adaptively filtered in response to estimations of feature activity. After feature extraction the signal which remains is referred to as a “remaining signal”, which is then noise filtered to remove a substantial portion of the noise. The feature planes and remaining signal are recombined into a preprocessed output signal configured for receipt and processing by a video encoder. A video encoder receiving the preprocessed video signal can generate higher quality and/or lower bit rate encoded video than one receiving the original source video. Preprocessing according to the invention is particularly well suited for use with encoders adapted to remove temporal and/or spatial redundancy, such as those implemented according to the MPEG2/4, or AVC/H.264 standards.

    摘要: A method of processing a video signal is disclosed. The present invention includes receiving prediction information of a macroblock and filter information, predicting a current picture using the prediction information of the macroblock, and applying a filter using the predicted current picture and the filter information.Accordingly, accuracy of prediction can be enhanced by applying a filter to a frame predicted before a residual for a predicted frame is coded. As the residual is reduced, efficiency of video signal processing can be enhanced.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining the perceptibility of noise in a block of images and/or video. The systems and methods may compute a mask value for the block using a block masking generator. The mask value may indicate the perceptibility of noise in the block. The mask value may be computed using a normalized activity value and/or a texture value for the block. The normalized activity value may indicate the relative activity in the block as compared to the activity in the image and/or video. The texture value may indicate the strength and/or number of edges in the block.
