Abstract

The visibility of mosquito and blocking artifacts in a video compression system are effectively suppressed by calculating a post-processed pixel intensity (300). A post-processed pixel intensity is determined using a predetermined noise variance (304), a predetermined autocorrelation coefficient (306), and a local neighbourhood of pixels (308) that includes a plurality of previously post-processed pixel intensities and a plurality of original pixel intensities. This eliminates the dependency on local signal and noise power estimates.
