Overview of AVS-video coding standards

Audio-video coding standard (AVS) is a working group of audio and video coding standard in China, which established in 2002. AVS-video coding standards are important parts of productions of AVS working group. Considering the different requirements of various video applications, AVS-video coding standards define different profiles, combining advanced video coding tools with trade-off between coding efficiency and encoder/decoder implementation complexity as well as functional properties. This paper provides an overview of major AVS-video coding tools and their combinations as profiles.
