Study and comparison between H.264 /MPEG4 AVC and AVS China
Contents Introduction Brief overview of H.264 Brief overview of AVS ChinaComparison Results
Introduction
H.264 / MPEG 4 AVCLatest video coding standardBasic design architecture is similar to
previous MPEG standards Better compression efficiency
Motion compensated coding structure Picture slices MBs subMBs blocks
pixelsI , P and B slices Derived slices SI and SP
Different YUV systems in H.264 [16]
Profiles and levels in H.264 Baseline profile Main profile Extended profile High profiles
H.264 Profiles – Coding parts [1]
Intra prediction in H.264Uses adaptive spatial prediction to reduce
spatial redundancy. 4 X 4 luma, 8X8 luma( used in high profile)
– 9 modes 16 X 16 luma – 4 modes 4 X 4 chroma - 4 modes
H.264 intra prediction modes for 4X4 luma
H.264 inter prediction Uses Motion estimation and Motion compensation (MC). Used to reduce temporal correlation.

H.264 encoder [1]
H.264 decoder [1]
De-blocking filterIs used to reduce the blocking artifacts.Two sources of the blocking arifacts. - 4 X 4 transform - motion compensated prediction since the filter is present in the loop , it
prevents the propagation of the blocking artifacts.
Entropy codingquantized values and other syntax
elements into actual bits.CAVLC and CABAC for quantized
coefficients.Exp- Golomb codes for syntax elements
which are not coded by CABAC or CAVLC.
AVS – China Latest audio video coding standard from
China Standardization includes system, audio,
video and digital copyright management. Goal – to achieve coding efficiency with
reduced complexity.
AVS Parts [3]
AVS layered data structure [3] for 4:2:0 video sequence
AVS P2 encoder [5]
AVS decoder
AVS motion estimation and intra prediction: AVS uses adaptive modes for motion compensation at the
picture layer and the macroblock layer. The modes in picture layer are :
Forward prediction from the most recent reference frame
Forward prediction from the second most recent prediction frame
Interpolative prediction between the most recent reference frame and a future reference frame.
Intra coding
AVS motion estimation and intra prediction (cont..)
At the macroblock layer, the modes depend on the picture mode.
In Intra pictures, all macroblocks are intra coded.
In Predicted pictures, macroblocks may be forward predicted or intra coded.
In interpolated pictures, macroblocks may be forward predicted, backward predicted, interpolated or intra coded.
Predicted pictures (P – pictures):
Interpolated Pictures (B-Pictures):

Comparison H.264 and AVS video
Rate control Block:A rate control algorithm dynamically
adjusts encoder parameters to achieve a target bitrate.

Conclusion AVS – P2 jizhun profile is comparable with
the main profile of H.264 . Reduced complexity , reduced costs. Performance difference is mainly due to
absence of tools such as CABAC.
