Adds a new end-usage option for constant quality encoding in vpx. This
first version implemented for VP9, encodes all regular inter frames
using the quality specified in the --cq-level= option, while encoding
all key frames and golden/altref frames at a quality better than that.
The current performance on derfraw300 is +0.910% up from bitrate control,
but achieved without multiple recode loops per frame.
The decision for qp for each altref/golden/key frame will be improved
in subsequent patches based on better use of stats from the first pass.
Further, the qp for regular inter frames may also be varied around the
provided cq-level.
Change-Id: I6c4a2a68563679d60e0616ebcb11698578615fb3
Currently, the best quality mode in VP9 is not very well developed,
and unnecessarily makes the encode too slow. Hence the command line
default is changed to "good" quality. Also, the number of passes
default is changed to 2 passes as well, since 1-pass encoding is
not very efficient in VP9.
Besides, a number of VP9 defaults are set to the currently
recommended settings. With these changes, vpxenc
run with --codec=vp9 --kf-max-dist=9999 --cpu-used=0 should
work about the same as our borg results.
Note when the --cpu-used=0 option is dropped there will be a slight
difference in the output, because of a difference in the cpu-used
value for the first pass. Specifically, the default when unspecified
is to use cpu_used=1 for the first pass and cpu_used=0 for the
second pass. But when specified, both passes will use the cpu-used
value specified.
Note that this also changes the default for VP8 as being "good"
but other options stay unchanged.

Clamp only the motion vectors inferred from neighboring reference
macroblocks. The motion vectors obtained through motion search in
NEWMV mode are constrained during the search process, which allows
a relatively larger referencing region than the inferred mvs.
Hence further clamping the best mv provided by the motion search may
affect the efficacy of NEWMV mode.
Synchronized the decoding process. The decoded mvs in NEWMV modes
should be guaranteed to fit in the effective range. Put a mv range
clamping function there for security purpose.

Adds an experiment to use a weighted prediction of two INTER
predictors, where the weight is one of (1/4, 3/4), (3/8, 5/8),
(1/2, 1/2), (5/8, 3/8) or (3/4, 1/4), and is chosen implicitly
based on consistency of the predictors to the already
reconstructed pixels to the top and left of the current macroblock
or superblock.
Currently the weighting is not applied to SPLITMV modes, which
default to the usual (1/2, 1/2) weighting. However the code is in
place controlled by a macro. The same weighting is used for Y and
UV components, where the weight is derived from analyzing the Y
component only.

This patch adds column-based tiling. The idea is to make each tile
independently decodable (after reading the common frame header) and
also independendly encodable (minus within-frame cost adjustments in
the RD loop) to speed-up hardware & software en/decoders if they used
multi-threading. Column-based tiling has the added advantage (over
other tiling methods) that it minimizes realtime use-case latency,
since all threads can start encoding data as soon as the first SB-row
worth of data is available to the encoder.
There is some test code that does random tile ordering in the decoder,
to confirm that each tile is indeed independently decodable from other
tiles in the same frame. At tile edges, all contexts assume default
values (i.e. 0, 0 motion vector, no coefficients, DC intra4x4 mode),
and motion vector search and ordering do not cross tiles in the same
frame.
t log
Tile independence is not maintained between frames ATM, i.e. tile 0 of
frame 1 is free to use motion vectors that point into any tile of frame
0. We support 1 (i.e. no tiling), 2 or 4 column-tiles.
The loopfilter crosses tile boundaries. I discussed this briefly with Aki
and he says that's OK. An in-loop loopfilter would need to do some sync
between tile threads, but that shouldn't be a big issue.
Resuls: with tiling disabled, we go up slightly because of improved edge
use in the intra4x4 prediction. With 2 tiles, we lose about ~1% on derf,
~0.35% on HD and ~0.55% on STD/HD. With 4 tiles, we lose another ~1.5%
on derf ~0.77% on HD and ~0.85% on STD/HD. Most of this loss is
concentrated in the low-bitrate end of clips, and most of it is because
of the loss of edges at tile boundaries and the resulting loss of intra
predictors.
TODO:
- more tiles (perhaps allow row-based tiling also, and max. 8 tiles)?
- maybe optionally (for EC purposes), motion vectors themselves
should not cross tile edges, or we should emulate such borders as
if they were off-frame, to limit error propagation to within one
tile only. This doesn't have to be the default behaviour but could
be an optional bitstream flag.

Adds an error-resilient mode where frames can be continued
to be decoded even when there are errors (due to network losses)
on a prior frame. Specifically, backward updates are turned off
and probabilities of various symbols are reset to defaults at
the beginning of each frame. Further, the last frame's mvs are
not used for the mv reference list, and the sorting of the
initial list based on search on previous frames is turned off
as well.
Also adds a test where an arbitrary set of frames are skipped
from decoding to simulate errors. The test verifies (1) that if
the error frames are droppable - i.e. frame buffer updates have
been turned off - there are no mismatch errors for the remaining
frames after the error frames; and (2) if the error-frames are non
droppable, there are not only no decoding errors but the mismatch
PSNR between the decoder's version of the post-error frames and the
encoder's version is at least 20 dB.

This commit adds lossless compression capability to the experimental
branch. The lossless experiment can be enabled using --enable-lossless
in configure. When the experiment is enabled, the encoder will use
lossless compression mode by command line option --lossless, and the
decoder automatically recognizes a losslessly encoded clip and decodes
accordingly.
To achieve the lossless coding, this commit has changed the following:
1. To encode at lossless mode, encoder forces the use of unit
quantizer, i.e, Q 0, where effective quantization is 1. Encoder also
disables the usage of 8x8 transform and allows only 4x4 transform;
2. At Q 0, the first order 4x4 DCT/IDCT have been switched over
to a pair of forward and inverse Walsh-Hadamard Transform
(http://goo.gl/EIsfy), with proper scaling applied to match the range
of the original 4x4 DCT/IDCT pair;
3. At Q 0, the second order remains to use the previous
walsh-hadamard transform pair. However, to maintain the reversibility
in second order transform at Q 0, scaling down is applied to first
order DC coefficients prior to forward transform, and scaling up is
applied to the second order output prior to quantization. Symmetric
upscaling and downscaling are added around inverse second order
transform;
4. At lossless mode, encoder also disables a number of minor
features to ensure no loss is introduced, these features includes:
a. Trellis quantization optimization
b. Loop filtering
c. Aggressive zero-binning, rounding and zero-bin boosting
d. Mode based zero-bin boosting
Lossless coding test was performed on all clips within the derf set,
to verify that the commit has achieved lossless compression for all
clips. The average compression ratio is around 2.57 to 1.

This is the first patch to add superblock (32x32) coding
order capabilities. It does not yet do any mode selection
at the SB level, that will follow in a further patch.
This patch encodes rows of SBs rather than
MBs, each SB contains 2x2 MBs.
Two intra prediction modes have been disabled since they
require reconstructed data for the above-right MB which
may not have been encoded yet (e.g. for the bottom right
MB in each SB).
Results on the one test clip I have tried (720p GIPS clip)
suggest that it is somewhere around 0.2dB worse than the
baseline version, so there may be bugs.
It has been tested with no experiments enabled and with
the following 3 experiments enabled:
--enable-enhanced_interp
--enable-high_precision_mv
--enable-sixteenth_subpel_uv
in each case the decode buffer matches the recon buffer
(using "cmp" to compare the dumped/decoded frames).
Note: Testing these experiments individually created
errors.
Some problems were found with other experiments but it
is unclear what state these experiments are in:
--enable-comp_intra_pred
--enable-newentropy
--enable-uvintra
This code has not been extensively tested yet, so there
is every likelihood that further bugs remain. I also

Produce the token partitions on-the-fly, while processing each MB.
Context is updated at the beginning of each frame based on the
previoud frame's counters. Optimally encoder outputs partitions in
separate buffers. For frame based output, partitions are concatenated
internally.
Limitations:
- enabled just in combination with realtime-only mode
- number of encoding threads has to be equal or less than the
number of token partitions. For this reason, by default the encoder
will do 8 token partitions.
- vpxenc supports partition output (-P) just in combination with
IVF output format (--ivf)
Performance:
- Realtime encoder can be up to 13% faster (ARM) depending on the number
of threads and bitrate settings. Constant gain over the 5-16 speed
range.
- Token buffer reduced from one frame to 8 MBs
Quality:
- quality is affected by the delayed context updates. This again
dependents on input material, speed and bitrate settings. For VC
style input the loss seen is up to 0.2dB. If error-resilient=2
mode is used than the effect of this change is negligible.
Example:
./configure --enable-realtime-only --enable-onthefly-bitpacking
./vpxenc --rt --end-usage=1 --fps=30000/1000 -w 640 -h 480

Add the ability to specify multiple output streams on the command line.
Streams are delimited by --, and most parameters inherit from previous
streams.
In this implementation, resizing streams is still not supported. It
does not make use of the new multistream support in the encoder either.
Two pass support runs all streams independently, though it's
theoretically possible that we could combine firstpass runs in the
future. The logic required for this is too tricky to do as part of this
initial implementation. This is mostly an effort to get the parameter
passing and independent streams working from the application's
perspective, and a later commit will add the rescaling and
multiresolution support.

Identified as a possible cause of issue #308, the code was silently
ignoring realloc failures, which would lead to corruption, memory
leaks, and likely a crash. The best we can do in this case is die
gracefully.

Map an enum to the --end-usage values, so you can specify
--end-usage=cq instead of --end-usage=2. The numerical values still
work for historical scripts, etc, but this is more user friendly.

Cast size_t to (unsigned long) and print it with the %lu format
string, which is more portable than C99's explict %zu for size_t.
This truncates on Windows x64 but otherwise works on 32 and 64 bit
platforms. In practice the stats file is unlikely to be so large.

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.

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.
