Abstract
Method and devices for enhancing still digital images extracted from a compressed video sequences are disclosed herein, wherein the compressed video sequence comprises at least one I-frame and at least one P-frame. The method comprises determining whether an I-frame or a P-frame of video has been extracted, determining the quantization matrix of the previous I-frame if a P-frame has been extracted, and reconstructing the extracted video frame. The image is enhanced based on the quantization matrix of the present I-frame if the extracted frame is an I-frame and based on the quantization matrix of the previous I-frame if a P-frame has been extracted.
