Embodiment 1

[0033] Such as Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a boundary processing method for adaptive loop filtering, including: determining the filtering area according to the upper boundary and lower boundary of the current largest coding unit LCU of the sequence; and determining the left side of the filtering area Whether the pixels outside the boundary and the right boundary are available, and during the ALF process of the adaptive loop filtering, for the unavailable pixel samples, the pixel samples closest to the pixel samples in the filtering area are used instead.

[0034] In addition, considering the problem of cross-slice boundary filtering, the method further includes: adding a flag bit on the sequence header of the sequence, where the flag bit is used to control whether the ALF allows cross-slice boundary filtering. In practice, the flag bit can be recorded as cross_slice_loopfilter_enable, and the value of cross_slice_loopfilter_enable can be set to indicate whethe...

Abstract

The invention discloses a boundary treatment method and device for adaptive loop filter. The method comprises the steps of determining a filter area according to an upper boundary and a lower boundary of the current maximum coding unit in a sequence; determining whether pixels at the outsides of the left boundary and the right boundary of the filter area are usable; replacing the unusable pixel samples by the closest pixel samples within the filter area during loop filter ALF process. With the adoption of the method, the problem of boundary treatment of ALF filter process can be solved, the correlation of pixels is fully utilized, the cost is tiny loss on coding performance, and the hardware cost during achieving the adaptive loop filter can be decreased.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of digital signal processing, in particular to a boundary processing method and device for adaptive loop filtering in the field of image / video coding and decoding. Background technique [0002] Adaptive Loop Filter (ALF) is one of the important technologies of video codec. This technology filters the reconstructed image at the decoding end by encoding the filter coefficients, reduces the compression distortion in the decoded image, and provides high-quality prediction reference images for the subsequent encoded and decoded images, thereby further improving the compression efficiency. The coefficient of ALF is generally obtained by minimizing the distortion training between the coded reconstructed image and its corresponding uncompressed image, and this coefficient is the Wiener filter coefficient. [0003] New coding standard technologies usually include three types of in-loop filtering technologies: deblocki...
