【 摘 要 】

This letter presents an architecture based on a new double-filter strategy to perform the adaptive in-loop filtering process specified by the H.264/AVC standard. The proposed architecture shows considerable advantages, both in terms of hardware cost and latency, when compared with the approaches found in the most recent literature.
