METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A PARAMETRIZED MULTI-STANDARD DEBLOCKING FILTER FOR VIDEO COMPRESSION SYSTEMS

In a video processing system, a method and system for a parameterized multi-standard deblocking filter for video compression systems are provided. A multi-standard deblocking filter may be configured to filter a reconstructed output stream based on a selected standard mode of operation. The configured multi-standard deblocking filter may be utilized in a decoder and/or in a decoding portion of an encoder. Filtered or unfiltered reconstructed pictures may be selected for storage in a picture buffer before further processing. Filtered or unfiltered reconstructed pictures may be selected for display in a decoder or for intra-coding and inter-coding processing in the decoding portion of the encoder. Filter parameters in the multi-standard deblocking filter may be configured based on a set of side information and the selected standard mode of operation.
