Abstract
A method and apparatus for ringing artifacts reduction for compressed video signals. The method includes receiving luma data to the digital signal processor, calculating sum of gradient of the luma data; calculating SAD of the luma data; performing pixel classification based of the calculated SAD and sum of gradient, performing erosion on a detected edge pixel indicator on a detected flat pixel indicators, determining at least one of the strength or weakness of the an edge based on the determined edge erosion, performing horizontal dilation on the detected edge pixel indicators and edge strength; and performing at least one of sigma or bilateral filtering to the luma data according to the detected edge pixel indicator, flat pixel indicator, edge strength, the number of very flat pixel in the block.
