Abstract
A system and method for processing a digital video signal corresponding to an image are provided. A plurality of independent edge detecting processes or edge detector modules detect a set of edges and at least one additional edge that is not included in the set of edges. An edge map includes data regarding all edges identified by any edge detecting process or module, and a visually perceptible artifact of the image is altered based at least in part on an evaluation of the edge map. The system and method detects and filters block artifacts and ringing or other noise from digital images, resulting in reduced image distortion.
