Title
Detection method and filters for blocking effect reduction of highly compressed images
Abstract
Image compression plays a pivotal role in minimizing the data size and reduction in transmission costs. Many coding techniques have been developed, but the most effective is the JPEG compression. However, the reconstructed images from JPEG compression produce noticeable image degradations near block boundaries called blocking artifacts, particularly in highly compressed images. A method to detect and reduce these artifacts without smoothing images and without removing perceptual features has been presented in this paper. In this work, a low computational deblocking filter with four modes is proposed, including three frequency-related modes (smooth, non-smooth, and intermediate) and a corner mode for the corner of four blocks. Extensive experiments and comparison with other deblocking methods have been conducted on the basis of PSNR, MSSIM, SF, and MOS to justify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The proposed algorithm keeps the computation lower and achieves better detail preservation and artifact removal performance.
