We have renamed following Macros to avoid name confusion:
REFS_PER_FRAME --> INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME
(= ALTREF_FRAME - LAST_FRAME + 1)
MAX_REF_FRAMES --> TOTAL_REFS_PER_FRAME
(= ALTREF_FRAME - INTRA_FRAME + 1)
INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME specifies the maximum number of reference frames
that each Inter frame may use.
TOTAL_REFS_PER_FRAME is equal to INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME + 1, which
counts the INTRA_FRAME.
Further, at the encoder side, since REF_FRAMES specifies the maximum
number of the reference frames that the encoder may store, REF_FRAMES
is usually larger than INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME. For example, in the
ext-refs experiment, REF_FRAMES == 8, which allows the encoder to
store maximum 8 reference frames in the buffer, but
INTER_REFS_PER_FRAME equals to 6, which allows each Inter frame may
use up to 6 frames out of the 8 buffered frames as its references.
Hence, in order to explore the possibility to store more reference
frames in future patches, we modified a couple of array sizes to
accomodate the case that the number of buffered reference frames is
not always equal to the number of the references that are being used
by each Inter frame.

The gm parameters need to have WARPED_PRECISION_BITS precision
until they are written to the bitstream because functions in
reconinter use these parameters before they are written to
the bitstream. Previously, the parameters weren't being converted
to WARPED_PRECISION_BITS until they were read from the bitstream
which causes an encode/decode mismatch.

Added a new expt rect-tx to be used in conjunction with ext-tx.
[rect-tx is a temporary config flag and will eventually be
merged into ext-tx once it works correctly with all other
experiments].
Added 4x8 and 8x4 tranforms for use initially with rectangular
sub8x8 y blocks as part of this experiment.
There is about a -0.2% BDRATE improvement on lowres, others pending.
When var-tx is on rectangular transforms are currently not used.
That will be enabled in a subsequent patch.

Currently nothing is implemented to compute GM parameters, this
just adds the capability to send them in the bitstream if they
were computed. Still need to implement the reconstruction
based on the parameters in reconinter.

Originally we need to send the refresh flag and the virtual indices
mapping for the reference frame buffer update for show_existing_frame to
have the BWDREF_FRAME replace the LAST_FRAME.
To remove sending this information, we update the the virtual indices
of the reference frame buffer after the last_bipred_frame is encoded,
and therefore the decoder will receive the updated reference mapping
at the next non-show-existing frame.
As a result, we can save 4 bytes per show-existing frame, and get 0.12,
0.2, and 0.07 BDRATE improvement in lowres, derf, and midref test set
respectively.

This patch removed the experiment of BIDIR_PRED and merged the feature
into the experiment of EXT_REFS:
(1) Each frame now has up to 6 reference frames, namely
LAST_FRAME, LAST2_FRAME, LAST3_FRAME, GOLDEN_FRAME, (forward) and
BWDREF_FRAME, ALTREF_FRAME (backward);
LAST4_FRAME has been removed;
(2) First pass still keeps the 8 updates:
KF_UPDATE, LF_UPDATE, GF_UPDATE, ARF_UPDATE, OVERLAY_UPDATE, and
BRF_UPDATE, LAST_BIPRED_UPDATE, BI_PRED_UPDATE;
(3) show_existing_frame==1 is supported in the experiment of EXT_REFS;
(4) New encoding modes are added for both single-ref and compound cases,
through the use of the 2 extra forward references (LAST2 & LAST3)
and the 1 extra backward reference (BWDREF).

This is for the bidir-pred experiment. Previously the length of the
bi-predictive frame group interval is fixed at 2, i.e. one
bi-predictive frame may be inserted every other frame. This patch
makes the length adjustable, i.e. any positive number may be
specified, but the use of the backward ref will be turned off if the
bi-predictive frame group interval is larger than the golden frame
group.
Further, an additional rate factor level has been added:
INTER_LOW
, which applies to LAST_BIPRED_UPDATE frames that are not used as
references.
Change-Id: I5514d34a64dd486bbb5756c2d0612946f598a789
Major parts have been implemented as follows:
(1) Added BRF_UPDATE, LASTNRF_UPDATE, and NRF_UPDATE in firstpass.c;
(2) Added the handling for the scenario of
"cpi->common.show_existing_frame == 1" at the encoder;
(3) Added a new reference frame of BWDREF_FRAME;
(4) Have bwd-ref work with upsampled references.
Note that when the experiment of "ext_refs" turned on, this experiment
will be turned off automatically currently.
RD performance in Overall PSNR has been improved, compared against the
VP10 baseline:
lowres: Avg -3.312; BDRate -3.154
derflr: Avg -1.927; BDRate -1.176
midres: Avg -2.149; BDRate -2.001

When not using ext-tile, there were still dependencies between tile
rows due to various tools (eg intra predictors) relying on the above
row or above mode info, which can be in the above tile. This is now
broken (the same way as it was when ext-tile is enabled) by fixing
the appropriate predicates.

In VP10, REFRESH_FRAME_CONTEXT_OFF mode is only set when the error
resillient mode is on. Instead of being used to decide how to update
the frame contexts, it is used to decide if or not to reset the
frame contexts.
To verify, ran borg test on lowres set. The result is neutral.
Overall PSNR: -0.006%; SSIM: -0.006%.

Decoding superframes correctly requires computing the end of the
frame contents in the bitstream precisely. This patch enables
ext-tile to do so.
Also extended superframe_test to test with multiple tiles if using
ext-tile.

The uncompressed frame header contains a bit to signal whether the
frame is encoded using 64x64 or 128x128 superblocks. This can vary
between any 2 frames.
vpxenc gained the --sb-size={64,128,dynamic} option, which allows the
configuration of the superblock size used (default is dynamic). 64/128
will force the encoder to always use the specified superblock size.
Dynamic would enable the encoder to choose the sb size for each
frame, but this is not implemented yet (dynamic does the same as 128
for now).
Constraints on tile sizes depend on the superblock size, the following
is a summary of the current bitstream syntax and semantics:
If both --enable-ext-tile is OFF and --enable-ext-partition is OFF:
The tile coding in this case is the same as VP9. In particular,
tiles have a minimum width of 256 pixels and a maximum width of
4096 pixels. The tile width must be multiples of 64 pixels
(except for the rightmost tile column). There can be a maximum
of 64 tile columns and 4 tile rows.
If --enable-ext-tile is OFF and --enable-ext-partition is ON:
Same constraints as above, except that tile width must be
multiples of 128 pixels (except for the rightmost tile column).
There is no change in the bitstream syntax used for coding the tile
configuration if --enable-ext-tile is OFF.
If --enable-ext-tile is ON and --enable-ext-partition is ON:
This is the new large scale tile coding configuration. The
minimum/maximum tile width and height are 64/4096 pixels. Tile
width and height must be multiples of 64 pixels. The uncompressed
header contains two 6 bit fields that hold the tile width/heigh
in units of 64 pixels. The maximum number of tile rows/columns
is only limited by the maximum frame size of 65536x65536 pixels
that can be coded in the bitstream. This yields a maximum of
1024x1024 tile rows and columns (of 64x64 tiles in a 65536x65536
frame).
If both --enable-ext-tile is ON and --enable-ext-partition is ON:
Same applies as above, except that in the bitstream the 2 fields
containing the tile width/height are in units of the superblock
size, and the superblock size itself is also coded in the bitstream.
If the uncompressed header signals the use of 64x64 superblocks,
then the tile width/height fields are 6 bits wide and are in units
of 64 pixels. If the uncompressed header signals the use of 128x128
superblocks, then the tile width/height fields are 5 bits wide and
are in units of 128 pixels.
The above is a summary of the bitstream. The user interface to vpxenc
(and the equivalent encoder API) behaves a follows:
If --enable-ext-tile is OFF:
No change in the user interface. --tile-columns and --tile-rows
specify the base 2 logarithm of the desired number of tile columns
and tile rows. The actual number of tile rows and tile columns,
and the particular tile width and tile height are computed by the
codec ensuring all of the above constraints are respected.
If --enable-ext-tile is ON, but --enable-ext-partition is OFF:
No change in the user interface. --tile-columns and --tile-rows
specify the WIDTH and HEIGHT of the tiles in unit of 64 pixels.
The valid values are in the range [1, 64] (which corresponds to
[64, 4096] pixels in increments of 64.
If both --enable-ext-tile is ON and --enable-ext-partition is ON:
If --sb-size=64 (default):
The user interface is the same as in the previous point.
--tile-columns and --tile-rows specify tile WIDTH and HEIGHT,
in units of 64 pixels, in the range [1, 64] (which corresponds
to [64, 4096] pixels in increments of 64).
If --sb-size=128 or --sb-size=dynamic:
--tile-columns and --tile-rows specify tile WIDTH and HEIGHT,
in units of 128 pixels in the range [1, 32] (which corresponds
to [128, 4096] pixels in increments of 128).
