IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2004-08-12
Abstract: The invention is related to methods and apparatus that provide selective filtering of
discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients. Advantageously, filtering of the DCT
coefficients is efficiently performed in the frequency domain, rather than the processing
intensive pixel domain (time domain). The DCT filtering is performed "in-loop" to the DCT
encoding and not in a preprocessing approach that is independent to encoding loop. The
DCT filtering advantageously reduces the number of bits used to encode a picture, which can
preserve compliance with occupancy levels for buffer models while improving picture
quality over a conventional technique to preserve bits, such as an increase in the value of the
quantization parameter QP.
