Abstract

Blocking artifacts exist in images and video sequences compressed to low bit rates using block discrete cosine transform (DCT) compression standards. In order to reduce blocking artifacts, a novel DCT domain technique is presented in this paper. Firstly, a new FIR Wiener filter which exploits the dependence of neighboring DCT coefficients based on the linear minimum mean-square-error (LMMSE) criterion is proposed. Then we apply the new FIR Wiener filter twice in a dual adaptive filtering structure to restore each quantized DCT coefficient. In addition, an efficient parameter estimation method is proposed for the designed filter. Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed method is comparable to the state-of-the-art methods but has low computational complexity.
