Abstract

In this paper, an efficient separable one-dimensional loop and post-filtering algorithm is addressed to suppress blocking and ringing artifacts of H.26L compressed video. A new one- dimensional pixel-based regularized smoothing function is defined and the regularization parameters controlling the degree of smoothness to two neighboring directions are determined by available information in encoder and decoder. The proposed loop/post filter is different to the typical regularization approaches, in that the proposed regularized smoothing functional is defined on pixel basis for easy and fast implementation. Therefore, no inverse matrix is required and iteration techniques are not necessary, which require very expensive computational cost. Also, by using look-up-table for determining the regularization parameters, the recovered image can be obtained with less computational cost. The experimental results show the capability of the proposed algorithm.
