ABSTRACT:
A 3D nonlinear postprocessing system and method are utilized to reduce coding artifacts produced by block-based motion-compensated transform coding. In the system and method, a separable 3D filtering structure is used: space-variant FIR-Median Hybrid filtering is used in spatial domain, followed by a motion-compensated nonlinear filtering in the temporal domain. By using this structure and method, the coding artifacts in a reconstructed image sequence can be effectively reduced without blurring edges or moving objects in the image sequence. Significant improvement in the picture quality of low bit-rate coded video sequences is thereby achieved.
