METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE NOISE FILTERING OF PIXEL DATA

摘要

A method and apparatus for processing frames of pixel data is provided. The apparatus can be a video encoder and includes an interface receiving a current frame including a plurality of blocks of pixel data. The apparatus further includes a processing device coupled to the interface, with the processing device: determining (210) a filter parameter setting for each of the plurality of blocks of the current frame based on encoding parameters of the current frame and based on motion characteristics derived using a previous reconstructed frame; and filtering (215) each of the plurality of blocks based on the filter parameter setting to use in generating a filtered output with mitigated noise.
