Abstract:
The disclosure provides a sample adaptive offset (SAO) encoder. The SAO encoder includes a statistics collection (SC) block and a rate distortion optimization (RDO) block coupled to the SC block. The SC block receives a set of deblocked pixels and a set of original pixels. The SC block categorizes each deblocked pixel of the set of deblocked pixels in at least one of a plurality of band and edge categories. The SC block estimates an error in each category as difference between a deblocked pixel of the set of deblocked pixels and corresponding original pixel of the set of original pixels. The RDO block determines a set of candidate offsets associated with each category and selects a candidate offset with a minimum RD cost. The minimum RD cost is used by a SAO type block and a decision block to generate final offsets for the SAO encoder.

Claim (Index 9):
The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:\n estimating a left merge cost associated with a current largest coding unit (LCU) based on final offsets corresponding to a final left SAO type associated with a left LCU; estimating a top merge cost associated with the current LCU based on final offsets corresponding to a final top SAO type associated with a top LCU; and determining the one or more offsets for encoding the video input data based additionally upon the left merge cost and the top merge cost.
