Description

ABSTRACT:
A method for reducing block artifacts between image blocks of a decompressed image is provided. The method initiates with selecting a set of pixel positions corresponding to pixels proximate to a border between the image blocks. Then, an amount of additional frames to be inserted when displaying the decompressed image is determined. Next, a pixel value associated with each pixel of the set of pixels proximate to the border is modified for each of the additional frames. Then, an original frame and the additional frames are displayed in an alternating mode such that block artifacts between the image blocks are visually reduced. A computer readable media, an integrated circuit and a device enabled to reduce blocking artifacts are also provided.
