Title: Deblocking filtering method considering intra-bl mode and multilayer video encoder/decoder using the same
Inventor: LEE KYO-HYUK
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2006-07-25
Abstract: Deblocking filter used in a video encoder/decoder based on a multilayer. In deciding a deblocking filter strength when performing a deblocking filtering with respect to a boundary between a current block coded by an intra-BL mode and its neighboring block, it is determined whether the current block or the neighboring block has coefficients. The filter strength is decided as a first filter strength if it is determined that the current block or the neighboring block has the coefficients, and the filter strength is decided as a second filter strength if it is determined that the current block or the neighboring block does not have the coefficients. The first filter strength is greater than the second filter strength.
