Furthermore, H.266 terminology is used in some description only for ease of understanding and not for limiting scope of the disclosed techniques. As such, the techniques described herein are applicable to other video codec protocols and designs also.
This patent document is related to image/video coding technologies. Specifically, it is related to adaptive colour transform in image/video coding. It may be applied to the standard under development, e.g. Versatile Video Coding (VVC). It may be also applicable to future video coding standards or video codec.
Video coding standards have evolved primarily through the development of the well-known International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards. The ITU-T produced H.261 and H.263, ISO/IEC produced MPEG-1 and MPEG-4 Visual, and the two organizations jointly produced the H.262/MPEG-2 Video and H.264/MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) and H.265/HEVC standards. Since H.262, the video coding standards are based on the hybrid video coding structure wherein temporal prediction plus transform coding are utilized. To explore the future video coding technologies beyond HEVC, Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET) was founded by video coding experts group (VCEG) and moving pictures experts group (MPEG) jointly in 2015. Since then, many new methods have been adopted by JVET and put into the reference software named Joint Exploration Model (JEM). In April 2018, the Joint Video Expert Team (JVET) between VCEG (Q6/16) and ISO/IEC JTC1 SC29/WG11 (MPEG) was created to work on the VVC standard targeting at 50% bitrate reduction compared to HEVC.
The latest version of VVC draft, i.e., Versatile Video Coding (Draft 7) could be found at: http://phenix.it-sudparis.eu/jvet/doc_end_user/documents/16_Geneva/wg11/JVET-P2001-v14.zip
The latest reference software of VVC, named VVC Test Model (VTM), could be found at: https://vcgit.hhi.fraunhofer.de/jvet/VVCSoftware_VTM/tags/VTM-7.0.
The Adaptive Colour Transform (ACT) was adopted into the HEVC Screen Content Coding (SCC) test model 2 at the 18th JCT-VC meeting (Jun. 30 to Jul. 9, 2014, Sapporo, Japan). ACT performs in-loop colour space conversion in the prediction residual domain using colour transform matrices based on the YCoCg and YCoCg-R colour spaces. ACT is turned on or off adaptively at the CU level using the flag cu_residual_act_flag. ACT can be combined with Cross Component Prediction (CCP), which is another inter component de-correlation method already supported in HEVC. When both are enabled, ACT is performed after CCP at the decoder, as shown in
The colour space conversion in ACT is based on the YCoCg-R transform. Both lossy coding and lossless coding (cu_transquant_bypass_flag=0 or 1) use the same inverse transform, but an additional 1-bit left shift is applied to the Co and Cg components in the case of lossy coding. Specifically, the following colour space transforms are used for forward and backward conversion for lossy and lossless coding:
Forward Transform for Lossy Coding (Non-Normative):
Forward Transform for Lossless Coding (Non-Normative):
Co=R−B
t=B+(Co>>1)
Cg=(G−t)
Y=t+(Cg>>1)
Backward Transform (Normative):
The forward colour transform is not normalized, with its norm being roughly equal to √{square root over (6)}/4 for Y and Cg and equal to √{square root over (2)}/2 for Co. In order to compensate for the non-normalized nature of the forward transform, delta QPs of (−5, −3, −5) are applied to (Y, Co, Cg), respectively. In other words, for a given “normal” QP for the CU, if ACT is turned on, then the quantization parameter is set equal to (QP−5, QP−3, QP−5) for (Y, Co, Cg), respectively. The adjusted quantization parameter only affects the quantization and inverse quantization of the residuals in the CU. For deblocking, the “normal” QP value is still used. Clipping to 0 is applied to the adjusted QP values to ensure that they will not become negative. Note that this QP adjustment is only applicable to lossy coding, as quantization is not performed in lossless coding (cu_transquant_bypass_flag=1). In SCM 4, PPS/slice-level signaling of additional QP offset values is introduced. These QP offset values may be used instead of (−5, −3, −5) for CUs when adaptive colour transform is applied.
When the input bit-depths of the colour components are different, appropriate left shifts are applied to align the sample bit-depths to the maximal bit-depth during ACT, and appropriate right shifts are applied to restore the original sample bit-depths after ACT.
In the VVC, unless the maximum transform size is smaller than the width or height of one coding unit (CU), one CU leaf node is also used as the unit of transform processing. Therefore, in the proposed implementation, the ACT flag is signaled for one CU to select the colour space for coding its residuals. Additionally, following the HEVC ACT design, for inter and IBC CUs, the ACT is only enabled when there is at least one non-zero coefficient in the CU. For intra CUs, the ACT is only enabled when chroma components select the same intra prediction mode of luma component, i.e., derived mode (DM).
The core transforms used for the colour space conversions are kept the same as that used for the HEVC. Additionally, same with the ACT design in HEVC, to compensate the dynamic range change of residuals signals before and after colour transform, the QP adjustments of (−5, −5, −3) are applied to the transform residuals.
On the other hand, the forward and inverse colour transforms may access the residuals of all three components. Correspondingly, in the proposed implementation, the ACT may be disabled in the following two scenarios where not all residuals of three components are available.
The texts of a coding unit in the VVC draft are shown as below.
cu_act_enabled_flag equal to 1 specifies that the residuals of the current coding unit are coded in YCgCo colour space. cu_act_enabled_flag equal to 0 specifies that the residuals of the current coding unit are coded in original colour space. When cu_act_enabled_flag is not present, it is inferred to be equal to 0.
As in HEVC, the residual of a block can be coded with transform skip mode which completely skips the transform process for a block. In addition, for transform skip blocks, a minimum allowed Quantization Parameter (QP) signaled in SPS is used, which is set equal to 6*(internalBitDepth−inputBitDepth)+4 in VTM7.0.
In JVET-M0413, a block-based Delta Pulse Code Modulation (BDPCM) is proposed to code screen contents efficiently and then adopted into VVC.
The prediction directions used in BDPCM can be vertical and horizontal prediction modes. The intra prediction is done on the entire block by sample copying in prediction direction (horizontal or vertical prediction) similar to intra prediction. The residual is quantized and the delta between the quantized residual and its predictor (horizontal or vertical) quantized value is coded. This can be described by the following: For a block of size M (rows)×N (cols), let ri,j, 0≤i≤M−1, 0≤j≤N−1 be the prediction residual after performing intra prediction horizontally (copying left neighbor pixel value across the predicted block line by line) or vertically (copying top neighbor line to each line in the predicted block) using unfiltered samples from above or left block boundary samples. Let Q(ri,j), 0≤i≤M−1, 0≤j≤N−1 denote the quantized version of the residual ri,j, where residual is difference between original block and the predicted block values. Then the block DPCM is applied to the quantized residual samples, resulting in modified M×N array {tilde over (R)} with elements {tilde over (r)}i,j. When vertical BDPCM is signaled:
For horizontal prediction, similar rules apply, and the residual quantized samples are obtained by
The residual quantized samples {tilde over (r)}i,j are sent to the decoder.
On the decoder side, the above calculations are reversed to produce Q(ri,j), 0≤i≤M−1, 0≤j≤N−1.
For vertical prediction case,
Q(ri,j)=Σk=0i{tilde over (r)}k,j,0≤i≤(M−1),0≤j≤(N−1).
For horizontal case,
Q(ri,j)=Σk=0j{tilde over (r)}i,k,0≤i≤(M−1),0≤j≤(N−1).
The inverse quantized residuals, Q−1(Q(ri,j)), are added to the intra block prediction values to produce the reconstructed sample values.
The main benefit of this scheme is that the inverse BDPCM can be done on the fly during coefficient parsing simply adding the predictor as the coefficients are parsed or it can be performed after parsing.
In VTM7.0, the BDPCM also can be applied on chroma blocks and the chroma BDPCM has a separate flag and BDPCM direction from the luma BDPCM mode.
The texts related to scaling process for transform coefficients in JVET-P2001-vE is given as follows.
Inputs to this process are:
Output of this process is the (nTbW)×(nTbH) array d of scaled transform coefficients with elements d[x][y].
The quantization parameter qP is derived as follows:
The quantization parameter qP is modified and the variables rectNonTsFlag and bdShift are derived as follows:
The variable bdOffset is derived as follows:
bdOffset=(1<<bdShift)>>1 (1139)
The list levelScale[ ][ ] is specified as levelScale[j][k]={{40, 45, 51, 57, 64, 72}, {57, 64, 72, 80, 90, 102}} with j=0 . . . 1, k=0 . . . 5.
The (nTbW)×(nTbH) array dz is set equal to the (nTbW)×(nTbH) array TransCoeffLevel[xTbY][yTbY][cIdx].
For the derivation of the scaled transform coefficients d[x][y] with x=0 . . . nTbW−1, y=0 . . . nTbH−1, the following applies:
The basic idea behind a palette mode is that the pixels in the CU are represented by a small set of representative colour values. This set is referred to as the palette. And it is also possible to indicate a sample that is outside the palette by signaling an escape symbol followed by (possibly quantized) component values. This kind of pixel is called escape pixel. The palette mode is illustrated in
For coding of the palette entries, a palette predictor is maintained. The maximum size of the palette as well as the palette predictor is signaled in the SPS. In HEVC-SCC, a palette_predictor_initializer_present_flag is introduced in the PPS. When this flag is 1, entries for initializing the palette predictor are signaled in the bitstream. The palette predictor is initialized at the beginning of each CTU row, each slice and each tile. Depending on the value of the palette_predictor_initializer_present_flag, the palette predictor is reset to 0 or initialized using the palette predictor initializer entries signaled in the PPS. In HEVC-SCC, a palette predictor initializer of size 0 was enabled to allow explicit disabling of the palette predictor initialization at the PPS level.
For each entry in the palette predictor, a reuse flag is signaled to indicate whether it is part of the current palette. This is illustrated in
The palette indices are coded using horizontal and vertical traverse scans as shown in
The palette indices are coded using two palette sample modes: ‘COPY_LEFT’ and ‘COPY_ABOVE’. In the ‘COPY_LEFT’ mode, the palette index is assigned to a decoded index. In the ‘COPY_ABOVE’ mode, the palette index of the sample in the row above is copied. For both “COPY_LEFT’ and ‘COPY_ABOVE’ modes, a run value is signaled which specifies the number of subsequent samples that are also coded using the same mode.
In the palette mode, the value of an index for the escape symbol is the number of palette entries. And, when escape symbol is part of the run in ‘COPY_LEFT’ or ‘COPY_ABOVE’ mode, the escape component values are signaled for each escape symbol. The coding of palette indices is illustrated in
This syntax order is accomplished as follows. First the number of index values for the CU is signaled. This is followed by signaling of the actual index values for the entire CU using truncated binary coding. Both the number of indices as well as the index values are coded in bypass mode. This groups the index-related bypass bins together. Then the palette sample mode (if necessary) and run are signaled in an interleaved manner. Finally, the component escape values corresponding to the escape symbols for the entire CU are grouped together and coded in bypass mode. The binarization of escape symbols is EG coding with 3rd order, i.e., EG-3.
An additional syntax element, last_run_type_flag, is signaled after signaling the index values. This syntax element, in conjunction with the number of indices, eliminates the need to signal the run value corresponding to the last run in the block.
In HEVC-SCC, the palette mode is also enabled for 4:2:2, 4:2:0, and monochrome chroma formats. The signaling of the palette entries and palette indices is almost identical for all the chroma formats. In case of non-monochrome formats, each palette entry consists of 3 components. For the monochrome format, each palette entry consists of a single component. For subsampled chroma directions, the chroma samples are associated with luma sample indices that are divisible by 2. After reconstructing the palette indices for the CU, if a sample has only a single component associated with it, only the first component of the palette entry is used. The only difference in signaling is for the escape component values. For each escape symbol, the number of escape component values signaled may be different depending on the number of components associated with that symbol.
In VVC, the dual tree coding structure is used on coding the intra slices, so the luma component and two chroma components may have different palette and palette indices. In addition, the two chroma component shares same palette and palette indices.
Line based CG palette mode was adopted to VVC. In this method, each CU of palette mode is divided into multiple segments of m samples (m=16 in this test) based on the traverse scan mode. The encoding order for palette run coding in each segment is as follows: For each pixel, 1 context coded bin run_copy_flag=0 is signaled indicating if the pixel is of the same mode as the previous pixel, i.e., if the previous scanned pixel and the current pixel are both of run type COPY_ABOVE or if the previous scanned pixel and the current pixel are both of run type INDEX and the same index value. Otherwise, run_copy_flag=1 is signaled. If the pixel and the previous pixel are of different mode, one context coded bin copy_above_palette_indices_flag is signaled indicating the run type, i.e., INDEX or COPY_ABOVE, of the pixel. Same as the palette mode in VTM6.0, decoder does not have to parse run type if the sample is in the first row (horizontal traverse scan) or in the first column (vertical traverse scan) since the INDEX mode is used by default. Also, the decoder does not have to parse run type if the previously parsed run type is COPY_ABOVE. After palette run coding of pixels in one segment, the index values (for INDEX mode) and quantized escape colours are bypass coded and grouped apart from encoding/parsing of context coded bins to improve throughput within each line CG. Since the index value is now coded/parsed after run coding, instead of processed before palette run coding as in VTM, encoder doesn't have to signal the number of index values num_palette_indices_minus1 and the last run type copy_above_indices_for_final_run_flag.

7.3.2.6 Picture Header RBSP Syntax
7.3.2.7 Picture Header Structure Syntax
7.3.7.2 Weighted Prediction Parameters Syntax
When a picture consists of more than one video coding layer (VCL) network abstraction layer (NAL) unit, a picture header (PH) NAL unit may be present in the prediction unit (PU).
If a PH NAL unit is present in a prediction unit (PU), the first VCL NAL unit of a picture may be the first VCL NAL unit that follows the PH NAL unit in decoding order of the picture. Otherwise (a PH NAL unit may not be present in the PU), the first VCL NAL unit of a picture may be the only VCL NAL unit of the picture.
In JVET-Q0513, a clipping issue is raised that after inverse ACT, the residual may exceed 16-bit dynamic range. A solution is to clip the input of inverse ACT according to the range of [−(1<<BitDepth), (1<<BitDepth)−1].
However, when YCgCo-R colour space is used, e.g., described in JVET-Q0820-v3, the dynamic range of Co and Cg is enlarged by 2-time and might exceed the range of [−(1<<BitDepth), (1<<BitDepth)−1].
1. the ACT and luma BDPCM modes can be enabled for one block. However, the chroma BDPCM mode may always be disabled on blocks coded with ACT mode. Therefore, the prediction signal may be derived differently for luma and chroma blocks in the same coding unit, which may be less efficient.
2. The quantization parameter (QP) of a block may become a minus number when ACT is enabled.
3. Some designs of ACT may not support lossless coding.
4. The signaling of usage of ACT may not be block size dependent.
5. The maximal palette size and the maximal predictor size are fixed numbers, which may limit the flexibility of palette mode.
6. Escape samples employs Exponential-Golomb (EG) with 3th order as the binarization method, but the binarization for escape samples is not dependent on Quantization Parameter (QP).
7. Due to that when reference picture list (RPL) is signaling in the Picture header (PH), the number of active entries for each slice is still signaled in the slice header, the signaling of collocated is suboptimal, and the signaling of the weighted prediction (WP) table is broken.
8. For YCgCo-R colour space, the range of [−(1<<BitDepth), (1<<BitDepth)−1] may not be large enough to accommodate residuals.
The technical solutions described below should be considered as examples to explain general concepts. These technical solutions should not be interpreted in a narrow way. Furthermore, these technical solutions can be combined in any manner.
In the following description, the term ‘block’ may represent a video region, such as a coding unit (CU), a prediction unit (PU), and/or a transform unit (TU), which may contain samples in three colour components. The term BDPCM′ is not limited to the design in VVC, but it may present the technologies that coding residuals using different prediction signal generation methods.
In the following description, a video block coded using a joint coding of chroma residuals (JCCR) mode includes signaling only one chroma residual block (e.g., the Cb residual block), and the other chroma residual block (e.g., the Cr residual block) is derived based on the signaled chroma residual block and one or more flags (e.g., at the transform unit level) indicating a specific JCCR mode. As described, the JCCR mode leverages the correlation between the Cb residual and the Cr residual to improve coding efficiency.

The system 700 may include a coding component 704 that may implement the various coding or encoding methods described in the present document. The coding component 704 may reduce the average bitrate of video from the input 702 to the output of the coding component 704 to produce a coded representation of the video. The coding techniques are therefore sometimes called video compression or video transcoding techniques. The output of the coding component 704 may be either stored, or transmitted via a communication connected, as represented by the component 706. The stored or communicated bitstream (or coded) representation of the video received at the input 702 may be used by the component 708 for generating pixel values or displayable video that is sent to a display interface 710. The process of generating user-viewable video from the bitstream representation is sometimes called video decompression. Furthermore, while certain video processing operations are referred to as “coding” operations or tools, it will be appreciated that the coding tools or operations are used at an encoder and corresponding decoding tools or operations that reverse the results of the coding will be performed by a decoder.

Video encoder 200 may be configured to perform any or all of the techniques of this disclosure. In the example of
The functional components of video encoder 200 may include a partition unit 201, a predication unit 202 which may include a mode select unit 203, a motion estimation unit 204, a motion compensation unit 205, an intra prediction unit 206, a residual generation unit 207, a transform unit 208, a quantization unit 209, an inverse quantization unit 210, an inverse transform unit 211, a reconstruction unit 212, a buffer 213, and an entropy encoding unit 214.
In other examples, video encoder 200 may include more, fewer, or different functional components. In an example, predication unit 202 may include an intra block copy (IBC) unit. The IBC unit may perform predication in an IBC mode in which at least one reference picture is a picture where the current video block is located.
Furthermore, some components, such as motion estimation unit 204 and motion compensation unit 205 may be highly integrated, but are represented in the example of
Partition unit 201 may partition a picture into one or more video blocks. Video encoder 200 and video decoder 300 may support various video block sizes.
Mode select unit 203 may select one of the coding modes, intra or inter, e.g., based on error results, and provide the resulting intra- or inter-coded block to a residual generation unit 207 to generate residual block data and to a reconstruction unit 212 to reconstruct the encoded block for use as a reference picture. In some example, Mode select unit 203 may select a combination of intra and inter predication (CIIP) mode in which the predication is based on an inter predication signal and an intra predication signal. Mode select unit 203 may also select a resolution for a motion vector (e.g., a sub-pixel or integer pixel precision) for the block in the case of inter-predication.
To perform inter prediction on a current video block, motion estimation unit 204 may generate motion information for the current video block by comparing one or more reference frames from buffer 213 to the current video block. Motion compensation unit 205 may determine a predicted video block for the current video block based on the motion information and decoded samples of pictures from buffer 213 other than the picture associated with the current video block.
Motion estimation unit 204 and motion compensation unit 205 may perform different operations for a current video block, for example, depending on whether the current video block is in an I slice, a P slice, or a B slice.
In some examples, motion estimation unit 204 may perform uni-directional prediction for the current video block, and motion estimation unit 204 may search reference pictures of list 0 or list 1 for a reference video block for the current video block. Motion estimation unit 204 may then generate a reference index that indicates the reference picture in list 0 or list 1 that contains the reference video block and a motion vector that indicates a spatial displacement between the current video block and the reference video block. Motion estimation unit 204 may output the reference index, a prediction direction indicator, and the motion vector as the motion information of the current video block. Motion compensation unit 205 may generate the predicted video block of the current block based on the reference video block indicated by the motion information of the current video block.
In other examples, motion estimation unit 204 may perform bi-directional prediction for the current video block, motion estimation unit 204 may search the reference pictures in list 0 for a reference video block for the current video block and may also search the reference pictures in list 1 for another reference video block for the current video block. Motion estimation unit 204 may then generate reference indexes that indicate the reference pictures in list 0 and list 1 containing the reference video blocks and motion vectors that indicate spatial displacements between the reference video blocks and the current video block. Motion estimation unit 204 may output the reference indexes and the motion vectors of the current video block as the motion information of the current video block. Motion compensation unit 205 may generate the predicted video block of the current video block based on the reference video blocks indicated by the motion information of the current video block.
In some examples, motion estimation unit 204 may output a full set of motion information for decoding processing of a decoder.
In some examples, motion estimation unit 204 may not output a full set of motion information for the current video. Rather, motion estimation unit 204 may signal the motion information of the current video block with reference to the motion information of another video block. For example, motion estimation unit 204 may determine that the motion information of the current video block is sufficiently similar to the motion information of a neighboring video block.
In one example, motion estimation unit 204 may indicate, in a syntax structure associated with the current video block, a value that indicates to the video decoder 300 that the current video block has the same motion information as the other video block.
In another example, motion estimation unit 204 may identify, in a syntax structure associated with the current video block, another video block and a motion vector difference (MVD). The motion vector difference indicates a difference between the motion vector of the current video block and the motion vector of the indicated video block. The video decoder 300 may use the motion vector of the indicated video block and the motion vector difference to determine the motion vector of the current video block.
As discussed above, video encoder 200 may predictively signal the motion vector. Two examples of predictive signaling techniques that may be implemented by video encoder 200 include advanced motion vector predication (AMVP) and merge mode signaling.
Intra prediction unit 206 may perform intra prediction on the current video block. When intra prediction unit 206 performs intra prediction on the current video block, intra prediction unit 206 may generate prediction data for the current video block based on decoded samples of other video blocks in the same picture. The prediction data for the current video block may include a predicted video block and various syntax elements.
Residual generation unit 207 may generate residual data for the current video block by subtracting (e.g., indicated by the minus sign) the predicted video block(s) of the current video block from the current video block. The residual data of the current video block may include residual video blocks that correspond to different sample components of the samples in the current video block.
In other examples, there may be no residual data for the current video block for the current video block, for example in a skip mode, and residual generation unit 207 may not perform the subtracting operation.
Transform processing unit 208 may generate one or more transform coefficient video blocks for the current video block by applying one or more transforms to a residual video block associated with the current video block.
After transform processing unit 208 generates a transform coefficient video block associated with the current video block, quantization unit 209 may quantize the transform coefficient video block associated with the current video block based on one or more quantization parameter (QP) values associated with the current video block.
Inverse quantization unit 210 and inverse transform unit 211 may apply inverse quantization and inverse transforms to the transform coefficient video block, respectively, to reconstruct a residual video block from the transform coefficient video block. Reconstruction unit 212 may add the reconstructed residual video block to corresponding samples from one or more predicted video blocks generated by the predication unit 202 to produce a reconstructed video block associated with the current block for storage in the buffer 213.
After reconstruction unit 212 reconstructs the video block, loop filtering operation may be performed to reduce video blocking artifacts in the video block.
Entropy encoding unit 214 may receive data from other functional components of the video encoder 200. When entropy encoding unit 214 receives the data, entropy encoding unit 214 may perform one or more entropy encoding operations to generate entropy encoded data and output a bitstream that includes the entropy encoded data.
The video decoder 300 may be configured to perform any or all of the techniques of this disclosure. In the example of
In the example of
Entropy decoding unit 301 may retrieve an encoded bitstream. The encoded bitstream may include entropy coded video data (e.g., encoded blocks of video data). Entropy decoding unit 301 may decode the entropy coded video data, and from the entropy decoded video data, motion compensation unit 302 may determine motion information including motion vectors, motion vector precision, reference picture list indexes, and other motion information. Motion compensation unit 302 may, for example, determine such information by performing the AMVP and merge mode.
Motion compensation unit 302 may produce motion compensated blocks, possibly performing interpolation based on interpolation filters. Identifiers for interpolation filters to be used with sub-pixel precision may be included in the syntax elements.
Motion compensation unit 302 may use interpolation filters as used by video encoder 200 during encoding of the video block to calculate interpolated values for sub-integer pixels of a reference block. Motion compensation unit 302 may determine the interpolation filters used by video encoder 200 according to received syntax information and use the interpolation filters to produce predictive blocks.
Motion compensation unit 302 may use some of the syntax information to determine sizes of blocks used to encode frame(s) and/or slice(s) of the encoded video sequence, partition information that describes how each macroblock of a picture of the encoded video sequence is partitioned, modes indicating how each partition is encoded, one or more reference frames (and reference frame lists) for each inter-encoded block, and other information to decode the encoded video sequence.
Intra prediction unit 303 may use intra prediction modes for example received in the bitstream to form a prediction block from spatially adjacent blocks. Inverse quantization unit 304 inverse quantizes, i.e., de-quantizes, the quantized video block coefficients provided in the bitstream and decoded by entropy decoding unit 301. Inverse transform unit 305 applies an inverse transform.
Reconstruction unit 306 may sum the residual blocks with the corresponding prediction blocks generated by motion compensation unit 302 or intra prediction unit 303 to form decoded blocks. If desired, a deblocking filter may also be applied to filter the decoded blocks in order to remove blockiness artifacts. The decoded video blocks are then stored in buffer 307, which provides reference blocks for subsequent motion compensation/intra predication and also produces decoded video for presentation on a display device.
