- METHOD AND APPARATUS OF IN-LOOP FILTERING BY ADAPTIVE BAND OFFSET BANDS AND APPPARATUS FOR DECODING AND ENCODING BY ADAPTIVE BAND OFFSET BANDS

摘要

The present invention discloses an in-loop filtering method and apparatus using an adaptive band offset interval, and an encoding and decoding apparatus using an adaptive band offset interval. The in-loop filtering method of the present invention includes a deblocking filtering step of removing block distortion of a reconstructed picture; And applying a sample adaptive offset (SAO) to the deblocking filtered image, wherein applying the adaptive sample offset is adaptive to a current block to which the sample offset is to be applied. Applying a band offset. According to the present invention, the possibility of selecting an appropriate offset according to the characteristics of a pixel is improved, and an appropriate offset is selected according to individual characteristics of pixels, and pixel values are more appropriately corrected, thereby improving video encoding efficiency.
