ABSTRACT:
A method to reduce coding artifacts within a discrete decoded picture includes a spatial and/or temporal filtering with respective filter characteristics dependent on an image quality value (Q). Preferably, the spatial filtering includes a deblocking filtering, wherein the deblocking filter operation decreases with an increasing image quality value (Q) and/or the deblocking filtering chooses an image quality value (Q) dependent weighting function for a pixel to be filtered according to an activity of both blocks to which common border said pixel belongs.
