Coding artifact removal with multiscale postprocessing
A multiscale post processing algorithm based on constrained optimization with the Huber Markov random field (HMRF) model is investigated. The decoded image is enhanced from coarse to fine scales, where postprocessing at the coarse scale improves the global appearance of the image and reduces long range artifacts such as ringing while postprocessing at the fine scale keeps the sharpness of edges. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is supported by experimental results.
