H.264/Avc Deblocking Filter for 1080P High Definition Video (Report‪)‬

Byline: G. Raja - Email: gulistan.raja@uettaxila.edu.pk ABSTRACT: High Definition Video (HDV) is becoming an emerging application due to desire of high display resolution and superior video quality. Video compression is used for efficient transmission of HDV over network. However, loss of correlation between adjacent blocks during quantization process in compression results in visually disturbing artifacts called blocking artifacts. The latest H.264/AVC incorporates deblocking filter for reduction of blocking artifacts. This paper describes performance comparison of H.264/AVC deblocking filter for 1080p high definition video. Various high definition video sequences of typical content have been used for experimentation. The results show that H.264/AVC deblocking filter successfully suppresses the blocking artifacts in HDV without significantly degrading the objective quality of video.
