Comfort noise for compressed video

Similar to adding a dither signal to still images to hide contouring, a dither signal may be added to decompressed video prior to display to hide video compression artifacts such as blockiness. We propose that the added "comfort noise" be temporally correlated to reduce the perceived noisiness.
