description Preserving the visual quality is a major constraint for any algorithm in image and video processing applications. AVC and HEVC are the extensively used video coding standards for various video processing applications in recent days. These coding standards use filters to preserve the visual quality of the processed video. To retain the quality of the reconstructed video, AVC uses an in-loop filter, called the deblocking filter, while HEVC uses two in-loop filters, the sampling adaptive offset filter and the deblocking filter. These filters are implemented in hardware by adopting various optimization techniques such as reduction of power utilization, reduction of algorithm complexity, and consuming lesser area. The quality of the reconstructed video should not be impacted by these optimization measures. For the HEVC/H.265 coding standard, a parallel edge deblocking filter architecture is designed, and the effectiveness of the parallel edge filter architecture is evaluated using various quantization values for various resolutions. The quality of the parallel edge filter architecture is on par with the HEVC reference model.
