In-loop deblocking filter apparatus and method for video coding
An in-loop deblocking filter apparatus (120) for processing a current row or column of samples into a filtered row or column of samples. The current row or column of samples comprises a plurality of samples from a first sample block and a horizontally or vertically neighboring second sample block of a reconstructed picture of a video stream. The samples of the current row or column of samples have sample values pN−1−p0, q0−qN−1 wherein N is an even integer greater than 2. If a first condition or a second condition is satisfied, the current row or column is processed by: determining a filtered sample value q0′ by applying a (2N−1)-tap filter to the sample values pN−2, . . . , p0, q0, . . . , qN−1 of the current row or column; and/or determining a filtered sample value p0′ by applying a (2N−1)-tap filter to the sample values pN−1, . . . , p0, q0, . . . , qN−2 of the current row or column.
