Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
This paper proposes a Swarm-Optimized Deblocking Filter (SO-DF) to address artifact reduction in VVC. The proposed framework uses a combination of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and a lightweight machine learning (ML) component to fine-tune filtering parameters. We have developed a system that integrates three innovative components: A Hybrid PSO-Gradient Descent Scheme; A CNN-Guided Swarm Initialization Strategy; and an Energy Aware Multi-Objective Fitness Function. The experimental evaluation of the JVET UHD test sequence demonstrated that SO-DF provides a 19.5% improvement in SSIM, with a 1.2% BD-rate savings and the ability to operate in real-time at 45 FPS.
