5.4.6 Blurring<br />

Blurring can be considered as a kind of denoise filter. MPlayer “unsharp”<br />

filter is used affecting only luma samples. Three differently sized convolution blur<br />

masks are applied (column in Table 9 named BM): 3×3, 5×5 and 7×7.<br />

Because this filter is simpler than the denoise filter and blurs macroblocks<br />

into each other, higher impairment is expected.<br />

Table 9: Blurring test results<br />

It is interesting that block and coefficient methods are more vulnerable than<br />

the noise method. This is the most perceptible when using 7×7 mask.<br />

It is probably caused by higher liability of the transform coefficients to<br />

blurring into each other than of the noise pattern to smoothing. Namely, the local<br />

extremes in the noise pattern, which are important in the detection process,<br />

remain extremes even if the pattern undergoes smoothing.<br />
