Summary :

A novel postprocessing algorithm for reducing the blocking artifacts in block-based coded images is proposed using block classification and adaptive multi-layer perceptron (MLP). This algorithm is exploited the nonlinearity property of the neural network learning algorithm to reduce the blocking artifacts more accurately. In this algorithm, each block is classified into four classes; smooth, horizontal edge, vertical edge, and complex blocks, based on the characteristic of their discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients. Thereafter, according to the class information of the neighborhood block, adaptive neural network filters (NNF) are then applied to the horizontal and vertical block boundaries. That is, for each class a different two-layer NNF is used to remove the blocking artifacts. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm produced better results than conventional algorithms both subjectively and objectively.
