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 5):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising, after determining the minimum RD cost for each category:\n generating a set of band SAO types, wherein each band SAO type is generated by combining two or more of the band categories; generating a set of edge SAO types, wherein each edge SAO type is generated by combining two or more of the edge categories; for each band SAO type, estimating a band cost by summing together the minimum RD cost associated with each band category that is combined to generate the band SAO type; for each edge SAO type, estimating an edge cost by summing together the minimum RD cost associated with each edge category that is combined to generate the edge SAO type; and determine a minimum band cost of the estimated band costs; determine one or more offsets for encoding the video input data based upon:\n the minimum band cost; \n the candidate offsets associated with each band category that is combined to generate the band SAO type having the estimated band cost that is the minimum band cost; \n the edge cost associated with each edge SAO type; and \n the candidate offsets associated with each edge category used to generate the edge SAO types.
