This book presents an overview of the state of the art in video coding technology. Specifically
it introduces the tools of the AVS2 standard describing how AVS2 can help to achieve a
significant improvement in coding efficiency for future video networks and applications by
incorporating smarter coding tools such as scene video coding. Features: introduces the basic
concepts in video coding and presents a short history of video coding technology and standards
reviews the coding framework main coding tools and syntax structure of AVS2 describes the
key technologies used in the AVS2 standard including prediction coding transform coding
entropy coding and loop-filters examines efficient tools for scene video coding and
surveillance video and the details of a promising intelligent video coding system discusses
optimization technologies in video coding systems provides a review of image video and 3D
content quality assessment algorithms surveys the hot research topics in video compression.
