For aq-mode=3: refactor the condition for turning off
the refresh. Add some adjustments for high motion content.
No/little change in RTC metrics, only affects high motion case.
Change-Id: I7da8eabfb0e61db014be4562806f72ee5ef4a43b
Code cleanup: merged two functions that were doing postencode
update for cylic refresh, remove some unused code and fix comments.
No change in behavior.
Change-Id: I9be0d7e346d34dec29bf4e5bb380a7bf81c8480a
The weight segment needs to only be computed once per frame,
so remove it from the funciton vp9_cyclic_refresh_rc_bits_per_mb(),
which is called within a loop inside vp9_rc_regulate_q.
Change-Id: Ia0e18b89abb97e42c466d4dbc47700d7f76555db
So it can be used even with aq-mode=3 not enabled.
Also cleans up some code in the places where its used.
No change in behavior.

For coding block sizes <=16X16, if the block is determined to be skin,
then always allow for that block to be candidate for refresh. So if that
block happens to be on the boost segment(s), segment won't get reset to 0
and delta-q will be applied.
PSNR/SSIM metrics neutral (little/no change) on RTC clips.
Speed increase small/negligible (< 1%).
Some visual improvement on faces in a few RTC clips.

Adjust the qp threshold and consec_zeromv threshold for
limiting cyclic refresh. Also increase the refresh period
when the limit amount is significant, and some code-cleanup.
Small gain in PSNR/SSIM metrics: ~0.25/0.3 gain on RTC set, speed 7.
Change only affects non-screen content.
Change-Id: I1ced87a89a132684c071e722616e445b2d18236a
Use the existing QP condition on limiting cyclic refresh, and add
addiitonal condition that block has been encoded with zero/small motion
x frames in row (where x is at least several times the refresh period).
Additional condition only affect non-screen content mode.
This helps to improve visual stability for noisy input, where on steady
background areas the application of delta_qp may lead to encoding the noise.
Also added a change to use the true skip (after encoding) to update the
last QP.
Change-Id: I234a1128d017d284cf767fdb58ef6c59d809f679
Decision to scale down/up is based on buffer state and average QP
over previous time window. Limit the total amount of down-scaling
to be at most one scale down for now.
Reset certain quantities after resize (buffer level, cyclic refresh,
rate correction factor).
Feature is enable via the setting rc_resize_allowed = 1.
Change-Id: I9b1a53024e1e1e953fb8a1e1f75d21d160280dc7
Reduce motion threshold and boost factor for second segment,
for low bitrates, at low resolutions for now.
This is to reduce the rate fluctuation/frame dropping that occurs
at these low bitrates.
Change-Id: Ia66c3be41831882fca8c1e4fe104f5ea8fbe7142
Factor in segment#2 and skip blocks into the postencode estimated bits,
and increase somewhat the aggressiveness of the refresh.
PSNR/SSIM Metrics on RTC set go up by ~0.8/0.5%.
Change-Id: I5d4e7cb00a3aefb25d18c88b6b24118b72dc5d51
For non-SVC 1 pass CBR: make the GF update interval a multiple of the
cyclic refresh period, and use encoding stats to prevent GF update at certain times.
Change-Id: I4c44cacc2f70f1d27391a47644837e1eaa065017
Target higher delta-qp for big blocks with zero motion,
and for segment#1: avoid 64x64 partition size and force 8x8 tx size.
Metrics on RTC set mostly positive: SSIM up by ~4%, PSRN by ~1.5%.
Doesn't seem to be any change in speed.
Change-Id: I1f68fa3c4f62dab3b90cc58041f05ebb048ae5ac
Add distortion threshold condition to refresh state of a coding block,
and allow for qp adjustment also for some intra modes and non-zero motion modes.
Also some code cleanup (remove unused variables/code).
Change-Id: I735fa2b28bc64f60e0323976b82510577b074203
Incorporate segment delta-q into estimated bits.
This generally improves the rate control under cyclic refresh (aq=3) mode.
Change-Id: I1dc60fb230e7d08357fae18909d8ed27bf58e037
Two members in struct CYCLIC_REFRESH
int64_t projected_rate_sb;
int64_t projected_dist_sb;
are updated at the superblock level, which makes them shared data
in the multi-thread situation, and requires extra work to handle
them. However, those values are updated and used immediately, and
therefore can be removed. This patch cleaned up the code and
removed the two members.
