#299 closed defect (fixed)

Deblocking filter has been always disabled on independent tile boundary

Description

As a result of the integration of QP averaging for deblocking (from JCTVC-G1031), HM5.x deblocking filter is no longer applied across independent tile boundaries leaving very visible block artifacts on tile boundaries in some cases. Taking HM5.1-rc2 for example, the bug exists in two places of TComLoopFilter.cpp file:

1) From line 905 to 908, the following code will disable luma sample DLF if the neighbor CU is in another independent tile.

if (!pcCUP)
{

return;

}

2) From line 1220 to 1223, the following code will disable chroma sample DLF if the neighbor CU is in another independent tile.

if (!pcCUP)
{

return;

}

From the code, it is clear that the implementer has chosen not to filter (i.e., return) when the neighboring QP is not available. We believe that the spirit of JCTVC-G1031 and WD 5 is to use both QP values and availability is not an issue since both QP values are available at the time the deblocking filter is applied.

proposed fix:

Replace in the 2 functions xEdgeFilterLuma() and xEdgeFilterChroma() :

if (iDir == EDGE_VER)
{

pcCUP = pcCUQ->getPULeft (uiPartPIdx, uiPartQIdx);

}
else (iDir == EDGE_HOR)
{

pcCUP = pcCUQ->getPUAbove(uiPartPIdx, uiPartQIdx);

}
if (!pcCUP)
{

return;

}

By:

if (iDir == EDGE_VER)
{

pcCUP = pcCUQ->getPULeft (uiPartPIdx, uiPartQIdx,!pcCU->getSlice()->getSPS()->getLFCrossSliceBoundaryFlag(), false, !m_bLFCrossTileBoundary);

}
else (iDir == EDGE_HOR)
{

pcCUP = pcCUQ->getPUAbove(uiPartPIdx, uiPartQIdx,!pcCU->getSlice()->getSPS()->getLFCrossSliceBoundaryFlag(), false, false, false, !m_bLFCrossTileBoundary);

}
