6127af60c1 Merge "Speed selection support for disabled reference frames" 2011-12-05 14:36:54 -08:00
Attila Nagy
97259b460c Fix encoder partitioned output on ARM
API was not returning correct partition sizes on arm targets.
The armv5 token packing functions were not storing the information to the
partition size table.
As a fix, have one boolcoder instance allocated for each partition so
that partition sizes are internally available after all partitions
were encoded. This will also allow more flexibility in producing
several partitions in parallel.

Use buffer validation (overflow check) in all ARM bitpacking
functions.

e55974bf86 Speed selection support for disabled reference frames
There was an implicit reference frame test order (typically LAST,
GOLD, ARF) in the mode selection logic, but this doesn't provide the
expected results when some reference frames are disabled. For
instance, in real-time mode, the speed selection logic often disables
the ARF modes. So if the user disables the LAST and GOLD frames, the
encoder was always choosing INTRA, when in reality searching the ARF
in this case has the same speed penalty as searching LAST would have
had.

Instead, introduce the notion of a reference frame search order. This
patch preserves the former priorities, so if a frame is disabled, the
other frames bump up a slot to take its place. This patch lays the
groundwork for doing something smarter in the frame test order, for
example considering temporal distance or looking at the frames used by
nearby blocks.

bdd35c13cc avoid resetting framerate during vpx_codec_enc_config_set()
The calculated frame_rate is a state variable in the codec, and
shouldn't be maintained in the configuration struct. Move it to the
main part of cpi so that it isn't clobbered when the configuration
struct is updated. The initial framerate estimate is moved from the
vp8_cx_iface.c wrapper into the body of init_config() in onyx_if.c, so
that it is only called once and not reset on every call to
vp8_change_config().

9dc95b0a12 Added check to make sure maximum buffer size not exceeded
Added code to clip the buffer level to the maximum buffer
size. Without this the buffer level would increase
unchecked.

This bug was found when encoding an essentially static
scene at 2Mb/s. The encoder is unable to generate frames
consistent with the high data-rate because Q bottoms out
at Qmin.

As frames generated are consistently undersized the buffer
level increases and does not get checked against the
maximum size specified by the user (or default).

Alpha Lam
4e8d35a461 Copy less when active map is in use
When active map is specified and the current frame is not a key frame,
golden frame nor a altref frame then copy only those active regions.

This significantly reduces encoding time by as much as 19% on the test
system where realtime encoding is used. This is particularly useful
when the frame size is large (e.g. 2560x1600) and there's only a few
action macroblocks.

spatial resampling. If the codec was in a spatial resampling state,
and a subsequent iteration of the recode loop disables resampling,
then the source buffer must be reset to the unscaled source.

Yunqing Wang
20bd1446c0 Preload reference area to an intermediate buffer in sub-pixel motion search
In sub-pixel motion search, the search range is small(+/- 3 pixels).
Preload whole search area from reference buffer into a 32-byte
aligned buffer. Then in search, load reference data from this buffer
instead. This keeps data in cache, and reduces the crossing cache-
line penalty. For tulip clip, tests on Intel Core2 Quad machine(linux)
showed encoder speed improvement:
  3.4%   at --rt --cpu-used =-4
  2.8%   at --rt --cpu-used =-3
  2.3%   at --rt --cpu-used =-2
  2.2%   at --rt --cpu-used =-1

Test on Atom notebook showed only 1.1% speed improvement(speed=-4).
Test on Xeon machine also showed less improvement, since unaligned
data access latency is greatly reduced in newer cores.

Next, I will apply similar idea to other 2 sub-pixel search functions
for encoding speed > 4.

Make this change exclusively for x86 platforms.

7d1b37cdac Increase chrow row alignment to 16 bytes.
This is done by expanding luma row to 32-byte alignment, since
 there is currently a bunch of code that assumes that
 uv_stride == y_stride/2 (see, for example, vp8/common/postproc.c,
 common/reconinter.c, common/arm/neon/recon16x16mb_neon.asm,
 encoder/temporal_filter.c, and possibly others; I haven't done a
 full audit).
It also uses replaces the hardcoded border of 16 in a number of
 encoder buffers with VP8BORDERINPIXELS (currently 32), as the
 chroma rows start at an offset of border/2.
Together, these two changes have the nice advantage that simply
 dumping the frame memory as a contiguous blob produces a valid,
 if padded, image.

b5ea2fbc2c Improved 1-pass CBR rate control
This patch attempts to improve the handling of CBR streams with
respect to the short term buffering requirements. The "buffer level"
is changed to be an average over the rc buffer, rather than a long
running average. Overshoot is also tracked over the same interval
and the golden frame targets suppressed accordingly to correct for
overly aggressive boosting.

Testing shows that this is fairly consistently positive in one
metric or another -- some clips that show significant decreases
in quality have better buffering characteristics, others show
improvenents in both.

11694aab66 Change to arf boost calculation.
In this commit I have added an experimental function
that tests prediction quality either side of a central position
to calculate a suggested boost number for an ARF frame.

The function is passed an offset from the current position and
a number of frames to search forwards and backwards.
It returns a forward, backward and compound boost number.

The new code can be deactivated using #define NEW_BOOST 0

In its current default state the code searches forwards and backwards
from the proposed  position of the next alt ref.

The the old code used a boost number calculated by scanning forward
from the previous GF up to the proposed alt ref frame position.

I have also added some code to try and prevent placement of a gf/arf
where there is a brief flash.

db67dcba6a Revert "Reduce overshoot in 1 pass rate control"
This reverts commit 212f618373.

Further testing shows that the overshoot accumulation/damping is too
aggressive on some clips. Allowing the accumulated overshoot to
decay and limiting to damping to golden frames shows some promise.
But some clips show significant overshoot in the buffer window, so
I think this still needs work.

212f618373 Reduce overshoot in 1 pass rate control
This patch attempts to reduce the peak bitrate hit by the encoder
when using small buffer windows.

Tested on the CIF set over 200-500kbps using these settings:

  --buf-sz=500 --buf-initial-sz=250 --buf-optimal-sz=250 \
  --undershoot-pct=100

Two pass encodes were tested at best quality. One pass encodes were
tested only at realtime speed 4:

  --rt --cpu-used=-4

The peak datarate (over the specified 500ms window) was measured
for each encode, and averaged together to get metric for
"average peak," computed as SUM(peak)/SUM(target). This patch
reduces the average peak datarate as follows:

  One pass:
    baseline:   1.29715
    this patch: 1.23664

  Two pass:
    baseline:   1.32702
    this patch: 1.37824

This change had a positive effect on our quality metrics as well:

  One pass CBR:
                    Min  / Mean / Max (pct)
    Average PSNR    -0.42 / 2.86 / 27.32
    Overall PSNR    -0.90 / 2.00 / 17.27
    SSIM            -0.05 / 3.95 / 37.46

  Two pass CBR:
                    Min  / Mean / Max (pct)
    Average PSNR    -4.47 / 4.35 / 35.99
    Overall PSNR    -3.40 / 4.18 / 36.46
    SSIM            -4.56 / 6.98 / 53.67

  One pass VBR:
                    Min  / Mean / Max (pct)
    Average PSNR    -5.21 /  0.01 / 3.30
    Overall PSNR    -8.10 / -0.38 / 1.21
    SSIM            -7.38 / -0.11 / 3.17
    (note: most values here were close to the mean, there were a few
     outliers on files that were very sensitive to golden frame size)

  Two pass VBR:
                    Min  / Mean / Max (pct)
    Average PSNR    0.00 / 0.00 / 0.00
    Overall PSNR    0.00 / 0.00 / 0.00
    SSIM            0.00 / 0.00 / 0.00

Neither one pass or two pass CBR mode adheres particularly strictly
to the short term buffer constraints, and two pass is less
consistent, even in the baseline commit. This should be addressed
in a later commit. This likely will hurt the quality numbers, as it
will have to reduce the burstiness of golden frames.

Aside: My work on this commit makes it clear that we need to make
rate control modes "pluggable", where you can easily write a new
one or work on one in isolation.

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.

ff52bf3691 Restructure of activity masking code.
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.

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.
