Abstract

During image deblocking, the preservation of visually significant edges in the image is important. Based on the observation that blocking artifact along edge direction is difficult for human perception, a number of existing techniques have proposed to filter the edge pixels with low weight or bypass them altogether to avoid blurring. However, the un-processed artifacts that are anti-parallel to the edge direction often fragment the edges and seriously degrade visual quality. In this paper, by considering the behavior of intensity evolution along and across edges, we propose a new POCS-based algorithm using a new smoothness constraint set. The new constraint set is realized indirectly by limiting the distance between the coded image and the image simulated using edge-adaptive quadrangle meshes. Experimental results indicated that our method compares favorably with several existing techniques.
