Reducing blockiness for codecs

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a reference frame that comprises a reference block;
• determining a timing for deblocking a current block;
• performing motion compensation on the reference frame to obtain a predicted frame that comprises a predicted block;
• performing reconstruction on the predicted frame to obtain a reconstructed frame that comprises a reconstructed prediction unit (PU);
• and
• at the timing for deblocking the current block, applying a deblocking filter based on one or more parameters to at least one of:
• the reference block, the predicted block, or the reconstructed PU.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a reference frame that comprises a reference block;
• determining a timing for deblocking a current block;
• performing motion compensation on the reference frame to obtain a predicted frame that comprises a predicted block;
• performing reconstruction on the predicted frame to obtain a reconstructed frame that comprises a reconstructed prediction unit (PU);
• and
• at the timing for deblocking the current block, applying a deblocking filter based on one or more parameters to at least one of:
• the reference block, the predicted block, or the reconstructed PU.
