Macroblock-Level Deblocking Method to Improve Coding Efficiency for H.264/AVC
Thanh Ha Le · ETRI Journal · 2010
A macroblock-level deblocking method is proposed for H.264/AVC, in which blocking artifacts are effectively eliminated in the discrete cosine transform domain at the macroblock encoding stage. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms conventional H.264 in terms of coding efficiency, and the bitrate saving is up to 5.7% without reconstruction quality loss.
