Abstract
A method for post-processing a current block is used in a decoding system for decoding an encoded digital image signal. The encoded digital image signal includes a plurality of encoded blocks of quantized transform coefficients, and the current block corresponds to one of the encoded blocks having a quantized DC coefficient and a predetermined number of quantized AC coefficients, the quantized DC coefficient having been quantized based on a DC quantization step size. The method comprises the steps of: (a) calculating an average neighboring pixel value(ANV) of neighboring block pixels located along a borderline between the current block and its neighboring blocks; (b) obtaining an average current pixel value(ACV) of current block pixels located along the borderline between the current block and the neighboring blocks; and (c) adjusting pixel values of the current block pixels based on the average neighboring pixel value, the average current pixel value, and the DC quantization step size.
