Abstract

An encoding method for encoding blocks of a picture part is disclosed in an embodiment. A reconstructed version of each block of the picture part, called reconstructed block, is determined. A plurality of candidate sets of filter parameters is obtained and an index is determined for each block of the picture part that identifies one of the candidate sets of filter parameters to be used for filtering the block. Each reconstructed block is filtered with the candidate set of filter parameters of the plurality of candidate sets of filter parameters identified by the index. The plurality of candidate sets of filter parameters, the blocks of the picture part and the index for each block are encoded in a bitstream. Advantageously, a plurality of candidate sets of filter parameters are determined such as to minimize a rate-distortion cost for each block of the picture part. For each block of the picture part, an index is determined that identifies one of the plurality of candidate sets of filter parameters to be used for filtering the block such as to minimize a rate-distortion cost for the block. The filter parameters of each candidate set of the plurality of candidate sets are refined us…
