  • Patent number: 9774851
    Abstract: The present invention relates to coding of an image of a video sequence block wisely and, in particular, to coding of a block of samples, which may be chrominace or luminance samples, or samples of any color space, by a pulse code modulation (PCM). After PCM coding, deblocking filtering may be applied. The deblocking filter may be selected for the present PCM coded block based on its noise and/or the noise of its adjacent block. The noise of the PCM coded block is indicated by a so-called PCM quantization parameter, which is also encoded in the bitstream.
