Combined in-loop filters for video coding

A device for coding video data, the device comprising:

• a memory to store the video data;
• and
• one or more processors implemented in circuitry, the one or more processors configured to implement a combined sample adaptive offset and bilateral filter, the combined sample adaptive offset and bilateral filter configured to:
• obtain reconstructed samples of a current block of the video data;
• and
• perform one or more of bilateral filtering and sample adaptive offset filtering with respect to the reconstructed samples of the current block of the video data to obtain filtered reconstructed samples of the current block of the video data;
• wherein performing bilateral filtering includes selecting a bilateral filter from a plurality of bilateral filters based on a difference value between two or more of the reconstructed samples of the current block of the video data.

A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to implement a combined sample adaptive offset and bilateral filter, wherein the combined sample adaptive offset and bilateral filter is configured to:

• obtain reconstructed samples of a current block of video data;
• and
• perform one or more of bilateral filtering and sample adaptive offset filtering with respect to the reconstructed samples of the current block of the video data to obtain filtered reconstructed samples of the current block of the video data;
• wherein performing bilateral filtering includes selecting a bilateral filter from a plurality of bilateral filters based on a difference value between two or more of the reconstructed samples of the current block of the video data.
