When allow_partition_search_skip is set the two pass code
can optionally skip the partition search in the rd loop if the image
appears static (based on selection of 0,0 motion).
Unfortunately 0,0 motion does not necessarily mean that there are
no meaningful changes or that motion or intra modes will not be selected
in the second pass.
Disabling "allow_partition_search_skip" may hurt the encode speed a little
for a small number of clips but can have a big impact on compression.
The most notable example of this in our test sets is "bridge_close_cif"
where this change gives a gains of 18%, 12% and 16% in opsnr, ssim and
psnr-hvs.

The decay accumulator clause covers similar ground to the
new clause that tests the accumulated second reference error
so it has been removed to reduce complexity.
Change-Id: I4ec1cce32d72bd4ee463ad7def2831a68447d525
Add a clause to the breakout test for alt ref groups that
examines the size of the accumulated second reference
frame error compared to the cost of intra coding.
This clause causes a reduction in the average group length for many
clips. Alongside the change to the group length the minimum
boost is increased.
On balance the results are positive for psnr and psnr-hvs
but is negative for ssim/fast ssim for the smaller image formats.
Strong gains on some harder clips (eg ducks take off (midres) ~20%,
husky (lowres) 6-17%. Most of the negative cases are lower motion
clips. Subsequent patch hopefully will help with those.

Fix/cleaup the conditioning for usage of the reuse-lowres
partition feature.
Replace the non-reference condition with the top temporal
layer, and put this condition in the speed feature.
This prevents doing update_partition_svc() on every
VGA frame, instead it will now only do update for VGA in
the top temporal layer frames.
Also this makes it easier to test/enable this feature
for lower layer temporal frames.

For new VP9 only content type adjust the rate distortion and ARF
filter based on the relative spatial variance of the source and
reconstruction.
In regards to the RD loop the method favors modes where the
reconstruction variance is similar to the source variance. However it
is currently only applied to regions where the source variance is quite
low.
For very low variance blocks it applies a further bias against intra
coding and large prediction block sizes (the later in particular limit
the usefulness of the loop filter).
The final part of this change is to lower the strength of the ARF
filter for blocks where the source has very low spatial variance, to
encourage some low amplitude texture or noise to pass through
the filter.
This change improves the retention of film grain and fine noise /
texture in spatially flat regions, but as expected causes a significant
drop in PSNR on many clips. This is to be expected because similar
but misaligned noise or texture will give a lower PSNR than a flat
noise free reconstruction. However, it is worth noting that most clips
show a strong gain in FAST SSIM.
The features are enabled on the vpxenc command line by setting
--tune-content=film.

For a chosen interval "i" the existing arf boost calculation examined frames

This change checks to make sure that the forward search does not extend

frame is < (i - 1).

Added command line control of Corpus VBR.
The new corpus vbr mode is a variant of standard
VBR (end-usage=0) where the complexity distribution
mid point is passed in rather than calculated for a specific
clip or chunk.
The new variant is enabled by setting a new command line
parameter --corpus-complexity to a zero value. Omitting
this parameter or setting it to 0 will cause the codec to use
standard vbr mode.
The correct value for a given corpus needs to be derived
experimentally using a training set such that the average
rate for the corpus is close to the target value.
For example our using our low res test set with upper and lower
vbr limits of 50%-150% and a corpus complexity value of 650
gives a similar average data rate across the set to using standard
vbr. However, with the corpus mode easier clips will be allocated
fewer bits and harder clips more bits rather than having the same
rate target for all.

The initial allocation of bits in the two pass code to each frame
should be within the min max limits on the command line. However,
when forming an ARF group the cost of the ARF is shared by frames
in that group such that the residual bits for a frame could drop below
the min value. This change prevents the minimum being re-applied
after the cost of the ARF has been deducted as this may otherwise
cause low rate sections to overshoot their target.
Test runs comparing to a baseline run with min and max section pct
0-2000% vs one closer to the YT use case (50-150%) suggest that
this fix not only results in better rate control but also gives a better
rd outcome.
For example the HD set vs 0-2000% baseline (opsnr, ssim).

Change to the bit allocation within a GF/ARF group.
Normal VBR and CQ mode allocate bits to a GF/ARF group based of the mean
complexity score of the frames in that group but then share bits evenly between
the "normal" frames in that group regardless of the individual frame complexity
scores (with the exception of the middle and last frames).
This patch alters the behavior for the experimental "Corpus VBR" mode such that
the allocation is always based on the individual complexity scores.
Change-Id: I5045a143eadeb452302886cc5ccffd0906b75708
This patch makes further changes to support an experimental
corpus wide VBR mode that uses a corpus complexity
number as the midpoint of the distribution used to allocate bits
within a clip, rather than some average error score derived from the
clip itself.
At the moment the midpoint number is hard wired for testing and
the mode is enabled or disabled through a #ifdef. Ultimately this
would need to be controlled by command line parameters.

This is linked to a reported unit test "slow down" where the chosen parameters
(lag of 3 frames) gave rise to such "broken" ARF group(s).

Some clips in nightly unit test exhibiting significant encoder slowdown which
appears to bisect to Change-Id: I692311a709ccdb6003e705103de9d05b59bf840a.
The above change allowed for emergency iterations of the recode loop and
adjustment of the Q range if there is a large rate miss.
This patch disables the above adaptation for cases of cpu_speed >= 3 or more
specifically where cpi->sf.recode_loop >= ALLOW_RECODE_KFARFGF.
For speeds >= 3 the code does not currently run a dummy bit pack operation
inside the recode loop. Without this dummy pack operation there is no up to
date estimate of the current frame's size to use as a basis for assessing the
requirement for a recode. In practice it was using the previous frames size (or 0
for the first frame) which could cause odd behavior.
If we require the emergency rate correction added in Change-Id: I6923.. for
the higher speed settings it will be necessary to enable the dummy pack
which will in turn hurt encode speed.

Testing of 4k videos encoded with a fixed arbitrary chunking interval
uncovered a bug where by if a chunk ends 1 frame before a real scene cut,
the next chunk may be encoded with two consecutive key frames at the start
with the first being assigned 0 bits.
This fix insures that where there is a key frame group of length 1 it is
at least assigned 1 frames worth of bits not 0.

Originally, for the purpose of keeping a fast first pass, the first-pass
stats between row_mt_mode = 0 and row_mt_mode = 1 are not bit exact, but
that difference is very small that doesn't cause a mismatch between the
final bitstreams. However, if the encoder changes, this minor difference
may cause a mismatch. Thus, this patch always forces the first pass to
be bit exact.

When the superblock partition is based on the nonrd-pickmode,
we need to avoid the denoising. Current condition was based on
the speed level. This change is to make the condition at the
superblock level, as the switch in partitioning may be done at
sb level based on source_sad (e.g., in speed 6).

This patch attempts to address a bug reported for 4K video.
https://b.corp.google.com/issues/62215394
In this instance a perfect storm of a moderate complexity section
followed by a much easier section where a CGI overlay helped to
suppress film grain noise, followed by a much harder and very grainy
section at the end, cause a massive local rate spike that pushed a chunk
over the upper allowed rate limit.
This patch detects cases where the rate for a frame is much higher than
expected and allows, in this special case, for rapid adjustment of the active
Q range.
For the example chunk in the bug report the target rate was 18Mb/s and the
observed rate was over 37 Mb/s with a surge for the last few frames to over
100Mb/s. This patch brings the overall chunk rate right back down to ~18.2 Mbit/s
and almost completely eliminates the rate spike at the end. (See graphs appended
to bug report)
Also see I108da7ca42f3bc95c5825dd33c9d84583227dac1 which fixes a bug
unearthed during testing of this patch and also has a bearing on high rate
encodes such as 4K.
This patch does have a negative impact on some metrics. Most notably there are
clips in our standard test set where it hurts global psnr (though in many cases it
conversely helps SSIM, FAST SSIM and PSNR-HVS). It is also worth noting that
the clips (and data rates) where there is a big metric impact, are almost all cases
where there is currently a significant overshoot vs the target rate and overall rate
accuracy is greatly improved.
