When the error resilient mode is on, the decoder resets mode info structure
to zero once per frame. This makes decoder about 10x slower if we decode
a single tile at a time. This patch resolves the issue by only memset mode
info of those decoded tiles. Currently, to decode a frame, tile decoding is
less than 2x slower than frame decoding.

highbitdepth (HBD), in average PSNR,

Under experiment CONFIG_LAST3_REF, which can only be turned on when
the experiment of CONFIG_MULTI_REF is on, i.e. LAST3_FRAME can only
be used when LAST2_FRAME is used. CONFIG_LAST3_REF would most likely
be combined with CONFIG_MULTI_REF once the performance improvement
is further confirmed.
On the testset of derflr, using Average PSNR metrics, with HighBitDepth
(HBD) on:
(1) LAST2 HBD obtained +0.579% against base HBD;
(2) LAST2 + LAST3 HBD obtained +0.591% against LAST2 HBD;
(3) LAST2 + LAST3 HBD obtained +1.173% against base HBD.

This CL introduces a few macros plus code cleaning on the encoding of
the reference frames. Coding performance remains unchanged.
For the encoding of either the compound reference or the single reference
case, since each bit has different contexts, the tree structure may not
be applied to treat the combined bits as one symbol. It is possible we may
explore the sharing of the same context for all the bits to introduce
the use of tree structure for the next step.

Under the experiment CONFIG_MULTI_REF. Current version shows
LAST2 vs base in nextgen on the testset of derflr:
(1) 8-bit: Average PSNR +0.53%
(worst: students_cif: -0.247%; best: mobile_cif: 1.902%)
(2) 12-bit HBD: Average PSNR +0.63%
(worst: pamphlet_cif: -0.213%, best: mobile_cif: 2.101%)
More tuning on the reference frame context design and default
probs are being conducted. This version does not guarantee to
work with other experiments in nextgen. A separate CL will address
the working with all other experiments.

Adds an additional transform in the ext_tx experiment that
is a 2d DST1-DST1 combination.
To enable use --enable-ext-tx --enable-dst1.
This needs to be later extended to combine DST1 with DCT
or ADST.

Runborgs results on derflr show consistent results between NEW_INTER
and the previous combination of NEWMVREF and COMPOUND_MODES.

Besides code cleaning, this patch contains 3 fixes:
(1) Fixed the COMPOUND_MODES for the NEW_NEWMV mode;
(2) Fixed the joint search when the NEAR_FORNEWMV mode (in NEWMVREF)
is being evaluated;
(3) Fixed the WEDGE_PARTITION when the NEAR_FORNEWMV mode (in NEWMVREF)
is being evaluated.
(4) Adjusted the entropy probability value for NEAR_FORNEW mode.

This experiment, referred as NEWMVREF, also merged with NEWMVREF_SUB8X8
and the latter one has been removed. Runborgs results show that:
(1) Turning on this experiment only, compared against the base:
derflf: Average PSNR 0.40%; Overall PSNR 0.40%; SSIM 0.35%
(2) Turning on all the experiments including this feature, compared against
that without this feature, on the highbitdepth case using 12-bit:
derflf: Average PSNR 0.33%; Overall PSNR 0.32%; SSIM 0.30%.
Now for highbitdepth using 12-bit, compared against base:
derflf: Average PSNR 11.12%; Overall PSNR 11.07%; SSIM 20.27%.

The basic idea is to use a pixel’s neighboring colors as
context to predict its own color. Up to 4 neighbors are
considered here: left, left-above, above, right-above.
To reduce the number of contexts, the combination of any
4 (or less) colors are mapped to a reduced number of
patterns. For example, 1111, 2222, 3333, … , can be mapped
to the same pattern: AAAA. SImilarly, 1122, 1133, 2233, …,
can be mapped to the pattern AABB. In this way, the total
number of color contexts is reduced to 16.
This almost doubles the gain of palette coding on screen
content videos.

For 444 videos, a single palette of 3-d colors is

This patch improves the non-transform coding mode. At this
point, the coding gain on screen content videos is about
12% for lossless, an 15% for lossy case.
1. Encode tx_skip flags with context. Y tx_skip flag context is
whether the prediction mode is inter or intra. UV flag context
is Y flag.
2. Transform skipping is less helpful when the Q-index is high.
So it is enabled only when the Q-index is smaller than a
threshold. Currently the threshold is set as 255 for intra blocks,
and 0 for inter blocks.
3. The shift of the prediction residue, when copying them to the
coeff buffer, is set as 3 when the Q-index is larger than a
threshold (currently set as 0), and 2 otherwise.

Extends the ext-tx experiment to include all 9 DST/DCT
variants.
Results with ext_tx experiment:
derflr: +1.338 derflr (improved from 1.12)
Change-Id: I24b5564f96bce6ccaa13d88ca6cb9d0c57000597
Extends the ext-tx experiment to include regular and flipped
DST variants. A total of 9 transforms are thus possible for
each inter block with transform size <= 16x16.
In this patch currently only the four ADST_ADST variants
(flipped or non-flipped in both dimensions) are enabled
for inter blocks.
The gain with the ext-tx experiment grows to +1.12 on derflr.
Further experiments are underway.
