Method and device for lossy encoding data and corresponding device for reconstructing data

A method for reconstructing data having at least one of image data and audio data, said method comprising:

• decoding coefficients;
• determining a preliminary reconstruction of the data using the decoded coefficients;
• and
• determining a reconstruction of the data by post-processing the preliminary reconstruction using that one of n>1 different given post processing method candidates whose position in an order of arrangement of the post processing method candidates equals a remainder of division, by n, of a sum of the decoded coefficients for minimizing a rate-distortion cost.

A device for reconstructing data having at least one of image data and audio data, comprising:

• decoding means adapted for decoding coefficients;
• and
• processing means adapted for determining a preliminary reconstruction of the data using the decoded coefficients;
• wherein the processing means are further adapted for determining a reconstruction of the block by post-processing the preliminary reconstruction using that one of n>1 different given post processing method candidates whose position in an order of arrangement of the post processing method candidates equals a remainder of division, by n, of a sum of the decoded coefficients for minimizing a rate-distortion cost.
