Abstract(in English) Recently, MPEG-2 is widely used in many fields such as DVD, digital broadcasting, etc. The video coding technique achieves efficient compression by using block-based DCT and motion compensation. Nevertheless, there is a problem that blocking and ringing artifacts appear in the decoded images at low bit rates. Therefore, we have proposed a method utilizes a two-dimensional FIR filter to reduce these artifacts. The method designs the filter to minimize the error between the original image and the coded image for each frames, and its coefficients are added into the bitstream. This paper proposes a method of region segmentation using the decoded images and filter design for each regions. By applying the filters to the decoded image, the proposed method improves the decoded video quality.
