Abstract
Different implementations are described, particularly implementations for video encoding and decoding are presented including a method for deblocking an image. According to an implementation, in a method for deblocking an image, at least one boundary is determined between a first block of samples and a second block of samples: a boundary strength is determined according to at least one of a prediction mode of the first block and a prediction mode of the second block; and samples of the first and second blocks neighboring the at least one boundary are filtered according to the boundary strength. Advantageously, in case the prediction mode of the first block is a weighted prediction mode, the boundary strength further depends on the relative weight of samples used in predicting the first block of samples according to the weighted prediction mode of the first block and reciprocally for the second block.
