ABSTRACT:
Pre filtering is commonly used in video encoding to remove undesirable noise from video sources. Without a pre filter, the noise degrades the performance of a video encoder by wasting a number of bits to represent the noise itself, and by introducing encoding artifacts such as blocking and ringing noise. However, excess use of pre filtering will degrade subjective visual quality. This invention employs an automatic pre filter control using a subjective noise detector capable of measuring noise that strongly correlates to subjective video quality.
