d8c525b8b1 fix the mix use of errorperbit and sadperbit
error_per_bit and sad_per_bit were designed as estimates of a bit worth
of sum squared error and sum absolute difference respectively. Under
this assumption, error_per_bit should be used in combination with 2nd
order errors (variance or sum squared error) while sad_per_bit should
be used in combination with 1st order SADs in motion estimation. There
were a few places where sad_per_bit has been misused with variances,
this commit changes to use error_per_bit for those places, also changes
parameter names to properly indicate which constant is being used.

On cif set, the change has a universal gain by all metrics: 0.13% by
average/overall psnr and 0.1% by ssim.

Scott LaVarnway
e11f21af9a MODE_INFO size reduction
Declared the bmi in MODE_INFO as a union instead of B_MODE_INFO.
This reduced the memory footprint by 518,400 bytes for 1080
resolutions.  The decoder performance improved by ~4% for the
clip used and the encoder showed very small improvements. (0.5%)
This reduction was first mentioned to me by John K. and in a
later discussion by Yaowu.
This is WIP.

63cb1a7ce0 cleanup: collect twopass variables
This patch collects the twopass specific memebers of VP8_COMP into a
dedicated struct. This is a first step towards isolating the two pass
rate control and aids readability by decorating these variables with
the 'twopass.' namespace. This makes it clear to the reader in what
contexts the variable will be valid, and is a hint that a section of
code might be a good candidate to move to firstpass.c in later
refactoring. There likely will be other rate control modes that need
their own specific data as well.

This notation is probably overly verbose in firstpass.c, so an
alternative would be to access this struct through a pointer like
'rc->' instead of 'cpi->firstpass.' in that file. Feel free to make
a review comment to that effect if you prefer.

99b9757685 Using partition_info instead of blockd info for splitmv
The partition_info struct contains info just for SPLITMV,
so it should be used instead of BLOCKD.  Eventually, I want
to reduce the size of B_MODE_INFO struct found in BLOCKD, so
this is the first step toward that goal.
Also, since SPLITMV is not supported in vp8_pick_inter_mode(),
the unnecessary mem copies and checks were removed.  For rt
encodes, this gave a slight performance improvement.

This commit restructures the mb activity masking code
to better facilitate experimentation using different metrics
etc. and also allows for adjustment of the zero bin either
for encode only or both the encode and mode selection
stages

It also uses information from the current frame rather than
the previous frame and the default strength has been
reduced.

cb7b1fb144 Use diamond search to replace full search in full-pixel refining search
In NEWMV mode, currently, full search is used as the refining search
after n-step search. By replacing it with an iterative diamond search
of radius 1 largely reduced the computation complexity, but still
maintained the same encoding quality since the refining search is
done for every macroblock instead of only a small precentage of
macroblocks while using full search.

Tests on the test set showed a 3.4% encoding speed increase with none
psnr & ssim loss.

eeb8117303 Fix semaphore emulation on Windows
The existing emulation of posix semaphores on Windows uses SetEvent()
and WaitForSingleObject(), which implements a binary semaphore, not a
counting semaphore as implemented by posix. This causes deadlock when
used with the expected posix semantics. Instead, this patch uses the
CreateSemaphore() and ReleaseSemaphore() calls (introduced in Windows
2000) which have the expected behavior.

This patch also reverts commit eb16f00, which split a semaphore that
was being used with counting semantics into two binary semaphores.
That commit is unnecessary with corrected emulation.

454cbc96b7 Limit size of initial keyframe in one-pass.
Rather than using a default size of 1/2 or 3/2 seconds for the first
frame, use a fraction of the initial buffer level to give the
application some control.

This will likely undergo further refinement as size limits on key
frames are currently under discussion on codec-devel@, but this gives
much better behavior for small buffer sizes as a starting point.

Went through the code and fixed it. Verified on Windows.

Where possible, remove dependencies on xmm[67]

Current code relies on pushing rbp to the stack to get 16 byte
alignment. This broke when rbp wasn't pushed
(vp8/encoder/x86/sad_sse3.asm). Work around this by using unaligned
memory accesses. Revisit this and the offsets in
vp8/encoder/x86/sad_sse3.asm in another change to SAVE_XMM.

This patch changes the rc_undershoot_pct and rc_overshoot_pct controls
to set the "aggressiveness" of rate adaptation, by limiting the
amount of difference between the target buffer level and the actual
buffer level which is applied to the target frame rate for this frame.

This patch was initially provided by arosenberg at logitech.com as
an attachment to issue #270. It was modified to separate these controls
from the other unrelated modifications in that patch, as well as to
use the pre-existing variables rather than introducing new ones.

bfe803bda3 Fix multithreaded encoding for 1 MB wide frame
Thread synchronization was not correct when frame width was 1 MB.
Number of allocated encoding threads is limited by the sync_range.
There is no point having more because each thread lags sync_range MBs
behind the thread processing the row above.

429dc676b1 Increase static linkage, remove unused functions
A large number of functions were defined with external linkage, even
though they were only used from within one file. This patch changes
their linkage to static and removes the vp8_ prefix from their names,
which should make it more obvious to the reader that the function is
contained within the current translation unit. Functions that were
not referenced were removed.

These symbols were identified by:

  $ nm -A libvpx.a | sort -k3 | uniq -c -f2 | grep ' [A-Z] ' \
    | sort | grep '^ *1 '

3ae2465788 Encoder loopfilter running in its own thread
In multithreaded mode the loopfilter is running in its own thread (filter level
calculation and frame filtering). Filtering is mostly done in parallel with the
bitstream packing. Before starting the packing the loopfilter level has
to be calculated. Also any needed reference frame copying is done in the
filter thread.

Currently the encoder will create n+1 threads, where n > 1 is the number of
threads specified by application  and 1 is the extra filter thread. With n = 1
the encoder runs in single thread mode. There will never be more than n threads
running concurrently.

ed40ff9e2d Removed firstpass motion map
The firstpass motion map consists of an 8-bit flag for
each MB indicating how strongly the firstpass code
believes it should be filtered during the second pass
ARNR filtering.

For long or large format material the motion map can
become extremely large and hamper the operation of
the encoding process.

This change removes the motion map altogether, leaving
the second pass to rely on the magnitude of the motion
compensated error to determine the filter weight to
use for the MB during ARNR filtering.

Tests on the derf set indicate that the effect of this
change is neutral, with some small wins and losses. The
motion map has therefore been removed based on
a cost/benefit evaluation.

GCC 4.5 and 4.6 both issue a warning about the multi-line format

Instead, use multiple string constants, which the compiler will
concatenate. This maintains the original formatting, but remains

bc9c30a003 Improved key frame detection.
In some cases where clips have been encoded with
borders (eg. some wide-screen content where there is a
border top and bottom and slide shows containing portrait
format photographs (border left and right)) key frames were
not being correctly detected.

The new code looks to measure cases where a portion of
the image can be coded equally easily using intra or inter
modes and where the resulting error score is also very low.
These "neutral" areas are then discounted in the key frame
detection code.

36be4f7f06 Fix drastic undershoot in long form content
When the modified_error_left accumulator exceeds INT_MAX, an incorrect
cast to int resulted in a negative value, causing the rate control to
allocate no bits to that keyframe group, leading to severe undershoot
and subsequent poor quality.

This error was exposed by the recent change to the rolling target and
actual spend accumulators in commit 305be4e4 which fixed them to
actually calculate the average value rather than be re-initialized
on every frame to the average per-frame bitrate. When this bug was
triggered, the target bitrate could be 0, so the rolling target
becomes small, which causes the undershoot. The code prior to 305be4e4
did not exhibit this behavior because the rolling target was always
set to a reasonable value and was independent of the actual target
bitrate. With this patch, the actual target bitrate is calculated
correctly, and the rate control tracks as expected.

This cast was likely added to silence a compiler warning on a comparison
between a double (modified_error_left) and an int (0). Instead, this
patch removes the cast and changes the comparison to be against 0.0,
which should prevent the warning from reoccuring.

This fixes issue #289. Special thanks to gnafu for his efforts in
reporting and debugging this fix.

41e6eceb28 Improve motion search in real-time mode
Applied better MV prediction in real-time mode, which improves
the encoding quality.

Used quarter-pixel search instead of iterative sub-pixel search
for speed >=5 to improve encoding performance.

Tests on the test set showed:
1. For speed=-5, quality improvement: 1.7% on AvgPSNR and 2.1%
on SSIM, performance improvement: 3.6% (This counts in the
performance lose caused by MV prediction calculation in "Improve
MV prediction in vp8_pick_inter_mode() for speed>3").
2. For speed=-8, quality improvement: 2.1% on AvgPSNR and 2.5%
on SSIM. but, 6.9% performance decrease because of MV prediction
calculation. This should be improved later.

63fc44dfa5 correct quantizer initialization
The encoder was not correctly catching transitions in the quantizer
deltas. If a delta_q was set, then the quantizer would be reinitialized
on every frame, but if they transitioned to 0, the quantizer would
not be reinitialized, leading to a encode-decode mismatch.

This bug was triggered by commit 999e155, which sets a Y2 delta Q
for very low base Q levels.

8f279596cb change the threshold of DC check for encode breakout
Previously, the DC check is to make sure there is no code-able
DC shift for quantizer Q0, which has been verified rather
conservative. This commit changes the criteria to have two
components, DC and AC, to address the conservativeness. First,
it checks if all AC energy is enough to contribute a single
non-zero quantized AC coefficient. Second, for DC, the decision
to skip further considers two possible scenarios: 1. There is
no code-able 2nd order DC coefficient at all; 2 The residue is
relatively flat, but the uniform DC change is very small, i.e.
less than 1/2 gray level per pixel.

Comparing to previous criteria, the new criteria is about 10%
to 15% faster in encoding time with a very small quality loss.
(threshold ~1000 and quality range 33db-45db)

It should be noted that this commit enables "automatic" static
threshold for encodebreakout if a non-zero small value is passed
in to encoder.

Adds following targets to configure script to support RVCT compilation
without operating system support (for Profiler or bare metal images).
 - armv5te-none-rvct
 - armv6-none-rvct
 - armv7-none-rvct

To strip OS specific parts from the code "os_support"-config was added
to script and CONFIG_OS_SUPPORT flag is used in the code to exclude OS
specific parts such as OS specific includes and function calls for
timers and threads etc. This was done to enable RVCT compilation for
profiling purposes or running the image on bare metal target with
Lauterbach.

Removed separate AREA directives for READONLY data in armv6 and neon
assembly files to fix the RVCT compilation. Otherwise
"ldr <reg>, =label" syntax would have been needed to prevent linker
errors. This syntax is not supported by older gnu assemblers.

This change improves the compression quality substantially for high

336aa0b7da Incorrect bit allocation in forced KF groups.
The old 2 pass code estimated error distribution when coding a
forced (by interval) key frame. The result of this was that in some
cases, when allocating bits at the GF group level within a KF
group there was either a glut of bits or starvation of bits at the end
of the KF group.

Added code to rescan and get the correct data once the position of
a forced key frame has been determined.

vp8cx_mb_init_quantizer was being called for every mode checked
in vp8_rd_pick_inter_mode.  zbin_extra is the only value that
really needs to be recalculated.  This calculation is disabled
when using the fast quantizer for mode selection.
This gave a small performance boost (~.5% to 1%).
Note: This needs to be verified with segmentation_enabled.

e0846c9c8c CQ Mode
The merge includes hooks to for CQ mode and other code
changes merged from the test branch.

CQ mode attempts to maintain a more stable quantizer within a clip
whilst also trying to adhere to a guidline maximum bitrate.

The existing target data rate parameter is used to specify the
guideline maximum bitrate.

A new parameter allows the user to specify a target CQ level.

For normal (non kf/gf/arf) frames, the quantizer will not drop BELOW the
user specified value (0-63). However, in some cases the encoder may
choose to impose a target CQ that is above that specified by the user,
if it estimates that consistent use of the target value is not compatible
with guideline maximum bitrate.

In two pass encoding each frame is given an active

There is some danger this could lead to overshoot or undershoot
in some corner cases but it helps considerably in regard to
clips where either there is a glut or famine of bits in some sections,
particularly near the end of a clip.

The MV's range is 256. Since the new motion search uses a different
starting MV than the center ref MV, a MV range checking needs to
be done to avoid corruption.

Paul Wilkins
cec6a596b5 Change to inter_minq table.
The inter_minq table controls the range of quantizers available
for a particular frame in two pass relative to a max Q value.

The changes reduces the range somewhat. The effect of this
was a small increase (0.3% average) in psnr for the test set
but it should also help encode speed somewhat for higher
quality modes as it will reduce the number of iterations in the
recode loop.

The change damps the range of quantizers available locally
within a section of a clip and should therefore help keep quality
more uniform. If there is systematic overshoot or undershoot the
range can shift gradually to accommodate. However, there is
some increased risk of overshoot or undershoot against the target
bit rate in VBR mode and this risk will be more pronounced for short
clips.

Add vp8_mv_pred() to better predict starting MV for NEWMV
mode in vp8_rd_pick_inter_mode(). Set different search
ranges according to MV prediction accuracy, which improves
encoder performance without hurting the quality. Also,
as Yaowu suggested, using diamond search result as full
search starting point and therefore adjusting(reducing)
full search range helps the performance.

9c8ad79fdc Set refresh_alt_ref_frame on keyframe encode.
On a keyframe alt ref and golden are refreshed.  The flag was
not being set and so on the frame after a keyframe, motion
search would occur on the alt ref frame.  This is not necessary
because the alt ref frame identical to the last frame in this
scenario.

Handle corner case where a forward alt-ref frame is put
directly after a keyframe.

373f5c3144 Bad cost tables used in ARNR filtering.
The use of incorrect mv costing tables in the ARNR sub-pel

The average gain from this fix is about 0.3% but there are a few
extreme cases where nasty and visible artifacts manifested and
for these few data points the improvement is > 10%.

This intends to correct the tendency that VP8 aggressively favors rate
on intra coded frames. Experiments tested different numbers in [0, 1]
and found 9/16 overall provided about 2-4% gains for all-intra coded
clips based on vpx-ssim metric. The impact on regular encoded clips
is much smaller but positive overall. Overall impact on psnr is also
positive even though very small.

0a49747b01 quantizer: fix assertion in fast quantizer path
The fast quantizer assembly code has not been updated to match the new
exact quantizer, which was made the default in commit 6adbe09.
Specifically, they are not aware of the potential for the coefficient
to be scaled, which results in the quantized result exceeding the range
of the DCT. This patch restores the previous behavior of using the
non-shifted coefficients when in the fast quantizer code path, but
unfortunately requires rebuilding the tables when switching between the
two.
