Abstract

There is provided a method, performed by a temporal filter. The method comprises obtaining a current picture and a set of one or more neighbor pictures comprising a first neighbor picture, wherein each of the one or more neighbor pictures either precedes or follows the current picture in a picture count order. The method comprises, based on a first block of pixel values of the current picture and a first block of pixel values in the first neighbor picture, determining a first filter weight, W, for at least a first pixel value in the first block of pixel values of the current picture, wherein the first block of pixel values in the first neighbor picture correspond to the first block of pixel values in the current picture. The method comprises, calculating a first filtered pixel value, Pf, at least using as inputs to the calculation: W, P, and Pr, where PI is the first pixel value from the first block of pixel values of the current picture, and Pris a pixel value from the first neighbor picture that corresponds to the first pixel value.
