Overview of AVS Video Standard Kai-Chao Yang Outline Audio Video Coding Standard (AVS) AVS Schedule AVS Architecture Difference between AVS, H.264/AVC, and MPEG-2 Performance Reference Audio Video Coding Standard (AVS) - 1/2 Developed by Audio Video Coding Standard Working Group (June, 2002). Science and Technology Department of the China Ministry of Information Industry (国家信息产业部科学技术司) 1st version of AVS video standard has been finished on December 2003. Ratified as the national standard of China on March 2006. Audio Video Coding Standard (AVS) - 2/2 Focus on high definition and high quality videos Four main technical standards System, video, audio, and DRM Features 自主知识产权 RMB 1 dollar for each AVS decoder Backward compatible with MPEG-2 Latest meeting June 7-11, 2006 Two new working groups FG-IPTV working group MPEG-C working group AVS Schedule AVS Architecture - 1/8 AVS Architecture - 2/8 8x8 integer transform Four types of block sizes 16x16, 16x8, 8x16, 8x8 ?-pel motion estimation Scanning order Progressive and interlacing Adaptive VLC Four types of Exp-Golomb codebooks In-loop deblocking filter Automatically adjusted depending on block types, MVs, and QPs 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 8-bit sampling Weighted prediction AVS Architecture - 3/8 16-bit 8x8 integer transform Y = T ? ((X ? Tt + 4) 3) yij ? [-215, 215-1] (yij + 26) 7 Quantization xij = (xij’ ? a(QP) + 2s(QP)-1) s(QP) a(QP): inverse quantization table s(QP): shift value AVS Architecture - 4/8 Intra Prediction 8x8 luma block 5 prediction modes 8x8 chroma block 4 prediction modes AVS Architecture - 5/8 Reference pictures of P-pictures In MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, only one reference picture is allowed, but the buffer size should be two pictures. In AVS, two previous adjacent pictures can be used as reference. AVS Architecture - 6/8 Reference pictures of B-pictures Four modes Direct Forward Backward Symmetrical Only one MV is recorded AVS Architecture - 7/8 Interlacing Coding AVS Architecture - 8/8 Profiles and Levels Jiz
