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.

Use vpx_blend_a64_hmask and vpx_blend_a64_vmask to speed up

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.

Add the ability to pick between 3 quantization profiles.
The profile is chosen based on the entropy context at the
block level.

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).
RD performance wise, using Overall PSNR: Avg/BDRate

use 2 bi-predictive frames than 1, a further improvement may be
obtained:

Move the supertx skip bit and transform type past the recursive
prediction blocks. This is in preparation for using the segment level
skip feature for supertx blocks.

Segment based loopfilter strength for supertx coded blocks is now
selected based on the minimum of all segment IDs within a supertx
coded block (same as the quantiser settings).

Segment level quantizer settings for supertx coded blocks are now
selected based on the minimum of all segment IDs within a supertx
coded block.
This also fixes the 3 adaptive quantization modes with supertx.

Exit early from function when supertx is used, rather than putting

This experiment implements non-uniform quantization where
the width of the bins increases gradually to more closely
match a laplacian distribution of the coeficcients.

xd->plane[0].n4_h and xd->plane[0].n4_w are not set at that point
when using supertx.
While this fixes the immediate crash described in the referenced
bug report, there are still issues in the ref-mv experiment that
causes these tests to fail, so they are kept disabled.

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

If a reference block is coded with sub8x8 block size, and if it
has sub-pixel level motion vectors, its prediction filter type
should be used as context information.

hdres 0.88%

For the current stage, we assume a single prediction filter type
per direction in the settings of compound inter prediction modes.

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%.
