Abstract:
A method for sample adaptive offset (SAO) filtering in a video encoder is provided that includes estimating SAO parameters for color components of a largest coding unit (LCU) of a picture, wherein estimating SAO parameters includes using at least some non-deblock-filtered reconstructed pixels of the LCU to estimate the SAO parameters, performing SAO filtering on the reconstructed LCU according to the estimated SAO parameters, and entropy encoding SAO information for the LCU in a compressed video bit stream, wherein the SAO information signals the estimated SAO parameters for the LCU.

Claim (Index 8):
The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the means for estimating SAO parameters uses the at least some non-deblock-filtered reconstructed pixels of the LCU and deblock filtered reconstructed pixels of the LCU to estimate the SAO parameters.
