Abstract: “This paper introduces the design of in-loop filtering with Fast Bilateral Filter for 3D-HEVC standard. Bilateral filter is a filter that smoothes an image while preserving strong edges and it can remove the artifacts in an image. In this paper, performance of bilateral filter in picture based level for 3D-HEVC is evaluated. Test model HTM- 6.2 is used to demonstrate the results. Results show up to of 20 percent of reduction in processing time of 3D-HEVC with minimal effect on the quality of test sequences.”
