AVS: An Application-Oriented Video Coding Standard
Published in Ling Guan, Yifeng He, Sun-Yuan Kung, Multimedia Image and Video Processing, 2012
Siwei Ma, Li Zhang, Debin Zhao, Wen Gao
In this chapter, we have given an overview of AVS including background and technical features. AVS provides a good trade-off between the performance and the complexity of the specific applications, because all coding tools in AVS, including intraprediction, variable block-size MC, multiple reference frames, interpolation filter, loop filter, and entropy coding, are selected by jointly considering the coding complexity and performance gain for the target applications. Experimental results prove that AVS provides similar performance with H.264/AVC while with lower complexity for the specific applications.
Storage and transmission of spatial sound signals
Published in Bosun Xie, Spatial Sound, 2023
The Audio Video Coding Standard (AVS) is a series of techniques and standards developed by the AVS workgroup of China (Zhang et al., 2016; IEEE Computer Society, 2020). The first generation of AVS technique is termed AVS1 audio, including AVS1-P3 (advanced audio video coding), AVS1-P10 (mobile voice and audio), and AVS LS (lossless audio coding standard). The second generation of the AVS audio is termed AVS2 audio.

Although much research has been conducted on the technological aspect of AVs, there is relatively less attention paid to their adoption (i.e. human-technology interaction). Undeniably, AVs have been reported to provide numerous benefits to their stakeholders (Milakis et al., 2017; Yuen et al., 2020). For instance, from a societal perspective, AVs are known to reduce traffic accidents, congestions and resource (i.e. land and energy) use because of the adoption of technologies for navigation, optimized real-time route planning and reduced requirement for parking space (Fagnant & Kockelman, 2015; Greenwald & Kornhauser, 2019; Nordhoff et al., 2018). From the consumer's perspective, AVs can provide greater convenience and comfort for their ability to self-park and perform smoother speed adjustments (Becker & Axhausen, 2017). Further, AVs can offer consumers the opportunities to earn passive income by engaging AVs on ride-hailing services (Krueger et al., 2016). Finally, for vehicle manufacturers, their ability to successfully launch AVs in the market will confer them a first-mover advantage, granting them the opportunity to expand their market shares by selling AVs to consumers who are interested in trying new technologies or incapable of driving (Daziano et al., 2017; Hudson et al., 2019). However, this study argues that the benefits can only be realized if consumers are willing to use AVs. Consistent with the above argument, Panagiotopoulos and Dimitrakopoulos (2018) has introduced the term ‘critical mass’ whereby a considerable amount of people in a society must be willing to adopt AVs before the stakeholders can enjoy the aforementioned benefits.
