Abstract

The paper overviews the AVS video standard (developed by the Audio Video Coding Standard Working Group of China) in terms of basic features, adopted major techniques and its performance. The current version of the AVS video standard mainly aims at the increasing demand for high definition and high quality video services. It provides a good trade-off solution between complexity and coding efficiency for digital broadcast and digital storage media. Furthermore, having a syntax structure similar to that of the MPEG-2 video standard, it can be easily applied into existing MPEG-2 systems, while significantly improving coding efficiency.
