Abstract

See full text

In a video processing device, scale of a video image is detected for vertical and horizontal directions based on pixel information, for example, per pixel vertical and horizontal gradients. Gradients are utilized or discarded based on picture format, standard deviation of luma levels and pixel location relative to black border edges, graphics and/or overlaid content. Mosquito noise filters are adapted based on scale and/or noise strength. Median and/or linear filter results are selected based on a weakest, a strongest and/or a blended result. Horizontal and vertical operations are performed separately for edge detection, edge strength determination, filtering and filter correction control. Horizontal and vertical block grid spacing and grid shift are determined. Block noise strength is determined. Block noise filters are configured based on scaling and/or noise strength. Filter corrections are limited based on block noise strength. Noise reduction results may be blended to generate a pixel correction value.
