  • Publication number: 20200314418
    Abstract: Disclosed is a boundary filtering method for intra prediction, relating to the video encoding technology filed. Whether boundary filtering is performed on an intra prediction block or not is adaptively selected by means of a rate distortion optimization decision; during filtering, a filter coefficient exponentially attenuated relative to distance to boundary is adopted to perform filtering on the first N rows or the first N columns of the intra prediction block by means of an intra prediction block filter, and different filtering strengths are used according to different sizes of the prediction blocks. Therefore, the boundary distortion problem of intra prediction block is solved, the intra prediction precision is improved, and the encoding efficiency of intra prediction block is increased; and the practicability and the robustness of the boundary filtering technology are improved.
