In this paper, a data-driven generalization of the adaptive loop filter (ALF) of Versatile Video Coding (VVC) is presented. It is shown how the conventional ALF process of classification and FIR filtering can be generalized to define a natural model architecture for convolutional neural network (CNN) based in-loopfilters. Experimental results show that over VVC, average bit-rate savings of 3.85%/4.75% and 4.39%/4.33% can be achieved for the all intra and random access configurations in the low- and high-QP settings.

Based on Wiener algorithm, the adaptive loop filter (ALF) technology is applied to minimize coding distortion over a frame. As the ALF is designed based on the Wiener algorithm, coding performance can be improved by spatially adaptive selection of filter coefficients dependent on a local image feature. However, since the conventional ALF approaches designed only a single set of frame basis filter coefficients, the filter coefficients are not necessarily optimal to achieve the significant coding gain. As the conventional work, the modified adaptive loop filter approach that employs the segmentation pattern has been proposed. This approach divides the current frame into a few segments based on the structure of image texture, and the filter coefficients are determined for each segment type. Although 14 candidates are defined as available segmentation modes, further improvement can be expected because such segmentation can not handle the complicated combination of various texture characteristics within a video frame. From this perspective, we propose an enhanced ALF approach based on spatially adaptive control of filter design dependent on the texture property of the local image region. Experimental results show that the bit reduction performance is improved by 1.6 points in the maximum case against the conventional scheme. Furthermore, the proposed scheme contributes to improving the subjective picture quality.

This paper proposes the use of adaptive loop filtering (ALF) technique for 3D-HEVC standard in-loopfiltering. This filter uses Wiener-based method to minimize the Mean Squared Error between filtered pixel and original pixels. Performance of adaptive loop filter in picture based level is evaluated. Test model HTM- 6.2 is used to demonstrate the results. Results show up to of 0.2 dB PSNR improvement in Luminance component for the texture and 2.1 dB for the depth. In addition, up to 0.1 dB improvement in Chrominance component for the texture view after applying this filter in picture based filtering.

To improve both coding efficiency and visual quality of video coding, in this paper, we present an adaptive loop filtering design which exploits local directional characteristics exhibit in the video content. The design combines linear spatial filtering and directional filtering with a similarity mapping function. We compute and compare multiple simple directional features to classify blocks in a video frame into classes with different dominant orientations. Each class of blocks adapt to a directional filter, with symmetric constraints imposed on the filter coefficients according to the dominant orientation determined by the classification. To emphasis pixel similarity for explicit adaptation to edges, we use a simple hard-threshold mapping function to avoid artifacts arising from across-edge filtering. Our design uses only 4 filers per frame with fixed 7x7 diamond-shaped filter support, while achieving better coding efficiency and improved visual quality especially along edges, as compared to other approaches using up to 16 filters with up to 7 vertical x 9 horizontal diamond-shaped filter support.

In this paper, we propose a method to improve adaptive loop filter (ALF) efficiency with temporal prediction. For one frame, two sets of adaptive loop filter parameters are adaptively selected by rate distortion optimization. The first set of ALF parameters is estimated by minimizing the mean square error between the original frame and the current reconstructed frame. The second set of filter parameters is the one that is used in the latest prior frame. The proposed algorithm is implemented in HM3.0 software. Compared with the HM3.0 anchor, the proposed method achieves 0.4%, 0.3% and 0.3% BD bitrate reduction in average for high efficiency low delay B, high efficiency low delay P and high efficiency random access configuration, respectively. The encoding and decoding time increase by 1% and 2% on average, respectively.

We propose an adaptive loop filter to remove the redundancy between current and motion compensated frames so that the residual signal is minimized, thus coding efficiency increases. The loopfilter coefficients and offset are optimized for each frame or a set of blocks to minimize the total energy of the residual signal resulting from motion estimation and compensation. The optimized loopfilter with offset is applied for the set of blocks where the filtering process gives coding gain based upon rate-distortion cost. The proposed loopfilter is used for the motion compensated frame whereas the conventional adaptive interpolation filter (AIF) is applied to the reference frames to interpolate the subpixel values. Another conventional scheme adaptive loop filter (ALF), is used after deblocking filtering to enhance quality of reconstructed frames, not to minimize energy of residual signal. The proposed loopfilter can be used in combination with the AIF and ALF. Experimental results show that proposed algorithm provides the averaged bit reduction of 8% compared to conventional H.264/AVC scheme. When the proposed scheme is combined with AIF and ALF, the coding gain increases even further.

In this letter;we present an enhanced block-based adaptive loop filter (E-BALF) with multiple filter symmetric structures. The E-BALF adapts various filter symmetric structures in a rate-distortion optimization sense, reflecting the statistical properties of each image in a video sequence. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a reduction in the Bjontegaard delta (BD)-bitrate by an average of 9.60% compared with Joint Model 11.0 of H.264/AVC. Compared to the state-of-the-art BALE a reduction of up to 1.13% in BD-bitrate is achieved.

A new implementation scheme of adaptive loop filter based on AVS standard is proposed in this paper. A state machine is adopted to control data processing, the state shift mode is automatically determined according to different filtering modes, and then adaptive processing will be carried out without fixed period filtering for all the data. At the same time, the time sequence of matrix row and column transposing is also optimized, so that the row and column transposing cycles could be shortend. The wave simulation shows that the proposed scheme can reduce the clock cycles to implement loopfiltering over a whole macro-block and meet the demands for real-time and high definition decoding.

Recently, convolutional neural network (CNN)based in-loopfilters have been introduced for video coding and they show huge coding gains. However, one of the main issues of this approach is the high computational complexity of these filters. In this paper, we present various settings for CNN-based in-loopfilters targeting on the reduction of their decoder complexity and describe the corresponding gain-complexity trade-offs. For this, we introduce an effective complexity measure and show that it is possible to notably reduce this value for some CNN-based in-loopfilters while keeping the compression gain over Versatile Video Coding (VVC).
