A pixel value of a pixel in a picture of a video sequence is modified by a weighted combination of the pixel value and at least one spatially neighboring pixel value in a filtering. The filtering depends on a pixel distance between the pixel and a neighboring pixel and on a pixel value difference between the pixel and a neighboring pixel value of the neighboring pixel. The filtering is controlled by a spatial parameter and a range parameter. At least one of the spatial parameter and the range parameter depends on at least one of a quantization parameter, a quantization scaling matrix, a transform width, a transform height, a picture width, a picture height and a magnitude of a negative filter coefficient used as part of inter/intra prediction. The embodiments provide a deringing filtering to combat ringing artifacts during video coding.
