The present invention relates to a device for processing blocks of coded data
included in a sequence of coded digital images (ES) according to a block-based
coding technique, said device comprising a post-processing circuit DFD (33).
Such a device effectively corrects the blocking artifacts while minimizing the
bandwidth used, the decoder directly transmitting decoded data blocks (B) to the
post-processing circuit. In addition, such a device introduces no or little drift
during the decoding since the decoder continues to use reference images (RB) during
a motion compensation step. This is because the reference images are no longer
the decoded images but the completely processed images as the post-processing circuit
is situated in the decoding loop.
