DEBLOCKING FILTER AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE DEBLOCKING FILTER THEREOF

摘要

A deblocking filter includes a controller, an edge filter module, a first multiplexer module, a plurality of buffers, and a second multiplexer module. The controller controls the deblocking filter to filter edges between decoded blocks according to a plurality of deblocking strategies in order to obtain an efficiency result under a designated video standard, and determines a target deblocking strategy by reference to the efficiency result. The edge filter module filters a plurality of original pixels to generate a plurality of filtered pixels. The first multiplexer module outputs a plurality of combinations selected from the plurality of filtered pixels according to the target deblocking strategy. The plurality of buffers are used for storing the plurality of combinations, respectively. The second multiplexer module selectively outputs a designated combination of the plurality of combinations as the original pixels to be inputted into the edge filter module according to the target deblocking strategy.
