Abstract

See full text

A de-blocking filter includes a reconstructed memory that is configured to store reconstructed pixels corresponding to a current macroblock of a video image to be filtered. The current macroblock includes a set of sub-blocks, each sub-block having horizontal edges and vertical edges. An internal pixel buffer in the de-blocking filter is configured to store pixels corresponding to the set of sub-blocks from the reconstructed memory, and to store partially filtered pixels corresponding to a set of partially filtered macroblocks. An edge order controller in the de-blocking filter is configured to load the pixels corresponding to the set of sub-blocks into a filter engine from the internal pixel buffer, to filter the set of sub-blocks, such that, at least one horizontal edge is filtered before filtering all vertical edges of the set of sub-blocks.
