Abstract
A de-blocking method and apparatus in which a block classifier determines whether the received decoded image is a planar surface or a complex surface. A first correction value calculator calculates correction values for block boundary pixels using a first filtering coefficient when the decoded image is a planar surface, an interpolator provides first correction values for pixels on the block boundary, and a second correction value calculator calculates second correction values for some block boundary pixels using a second filtering coefficient when the decoded image is a complex surface. A corrector provides a corrected image by correcting the received decoded image using the first correction values when the received decoded image is a planar surface, or using the second correction values when the received decoded image is a complex surface. Blocking artifacts are effectively removed to prevent discontinuity between boundaries of the decoded image obtained by decoding a block-based coded image, while maintaining the edge and the texture of the image.
