Added condition to not to skip filtering of transform block edges when
the edge is also a decoding block edge.

In the longer term the encoder should allow compound as long
as one of the buffers has opposite sign bias and as per the decoder
this buffer is then set as the fixed reference. However at the moment
the encoder and RD loop only supports the case where the ALTREF_FRAME
buffer (or third of the 3 allowed in any given frame) is the odd one out.
This patch fixes a bug that would allow compound inter and set
fixed ref to ALTREF_FRAME when it is not the odd one out.

Adds the ability to have the decoder show one of the existing reference
frames directly, without having to code it indirectly as a series of
skip blocks.

ref_frame in MB_Mode_Info was changed in the ref frame coding patch

Split partition probabilities between keyframes and non-keyframes,
since they are fairly different. Also have per-blocksize interframe
y intramode probabilities, since these vary heavily between different
blocksizes.
Lastly, replace default probabilities for partitioning and intra modes
with new ones generated from current codec. Replace counts with actual
probabilities also.

This version of the loop filter supports non-4:2:0 subsampling and
a fourth plane, as well as changing the filtering order to be more
friendly to hardware implementations.
The filters are applied first to all vertical edges within the
64x64 SB, followed by the top horizontal edge and any internal
horizontal edges. Since filtering is applied on each 4x4 edge
serially, a dependency is created from filtering one block edge
to the next. It would be possible to remove this depencnecy by
building all filtering decisions from the unfiltered
reconstruction data.
Change-Id: I08f3e9683eb7bded8a76651cbc50fc0dfdd05fa7
Added structures to support independent rd thresholds
for different block sizes (and set experimental block
size correction factors).
Added structure to to allow dynamic adaptation of thresholds
per mode and per block size basis depending on how often
the mode/block size combination is seen (currently fixed factor).
Removed some unused variables.
TODO
- Adaptation of thresholds based on how often each mode chosen.
- The baseline mode values could also be adjusted based on
the block size (e.g. for a particular intra mode use a low threshold
for 4x4 prediction blocks but a relatively high value for 64x64.

This commit makes operations of the superblock intra coding rate
distortion optimization consistent with those used in the encoding
process. Given the test prediction mode and transform size, the rd
optimizer encodes and reconstructs each transformed block of the
superblock consecutively, then computes the total rate-distortion
costs accosicated with the current superblock to select the coding
decisions.
It achieves coding performance gains:
derf 0.353%
yt 1.111%

Enable iterative motion search for compound inter-inter prediction

Restrict get_matching_candidate() to considering
mvs at 8x8 and larger sizes for last frame case.
This is to reduce the HW load of using vectors down
to the 4x4 level from the previous frame.

This speed 1 - uses variance threshold stolen from static-thresh
to determine split. Any superblock with greater than the variance
set by static thresh * quantizer index squared is split. In addition
transform size is set to largest size less than or equal to partition
size, sub pixel filter is set to normal, and only 12 modes are used
at all.

We leave it in rdopt.c as a local define for now - this can be removed
later. In all other places, we remove it, thereby slightly decreasing
the size of some arrays in the bitstream.
Change-Id: Ic2a9beb97a4eda0b086f62c039d994b192f99ca5
It remains as a local define in rdopt.c so we can distinguish between
split and non-split modes in the RD loop, but disappears outside that
scope in the codec.

Fixes an issue with reducing branch cts in the encoder causing
a drop in performance. The bug was introduced in a previous
clean up patch.
Test: Went back to the offending patch, applied this same fix

The first 240 coeff positions (15 top-left blocks) are scanned in the
same order as in scatter scan, after that the coeffs are scanned in
"block bands", each band at a time, all coeffs in one band before
moving on to the next band. This brings down the amount of 4x4 coeff
blocks that need to be buffered while scanning, from 15 blocks to 8 blocks.

coding modes.
reset_frame_context:
Indicates that the coding context specified

This patch changes the coefficient tree to move the EOB to below
the ZERO node in order to save number of bool decodes.
The advantages of moving EOB one step down as opposed to two steps down
in the other parallel patch are: 1. The coef modeling based on
the One-node becomes independent of the tree structure above it, and
2. Fewer conext/counter increases are needed.
The drawback is that the potential savings in bool decodes will be
less, but assuming that 0s are much more predominant than 1's the
potential savings is still likely to be substantial.

This commit pulls the iterative motion search for compound inter-
inter out from handle_inter_mode_ as a separate function. Hence,
it is applicable to 4x4/4x8/8x4 level compound inter search to be

Also edit the rd loop for 4x4 inter block sizes for cosmetic
purpose.

This commit removes the use of bmi_ in the first-pass encoding by
forcing encode_intra4x4block_ to use DC_PRED, followed by DCT_DCT

As intra coded blocks are always decoded using decode_sb_intra(), this
commmit removed the code no longer in use.
Change-Id: I09f14fa9cdc875656e8fbe245f72c8fd83b9e31e
The changing in intra coding to base on transform block, i.e. pred->
txfm->quant->dequant-itxfm->recon, made all blocks within a prediction
unit behave consistently, there is no longer a need to handle blocks
differently based on the position within a predicitn block. So this
commit simplifies the decision of transform type to be based on
prediction mode only.

Uses more aggrerssive interpolation to reduce storage for the
model tables by almost more than half. Only 48 lists of probs are
stored (as opposed to 128 before), corresponding to ONE_NODE
probabilities of:
1,
3, 7, 11, ..., 115, 119,
127, 135, ..., 247, 255.
Besides, only 1 table is used as opposed to 2 before. So the overall
memory needed for the tables is just 48 * 8 = 384 bytes.
The table currently used is based on a new Pareto distribution with
heavier tail than a generalized Gaussian - which improves results on
derf by about 0.1% over a single table Generaized Gaussian.
Results overall on derfraw300 is -0.14%.
Change-Id: I19bd03559cbf5894a9f8594b8023dcc3e546f6bd
Cleans up the experiment. Actually uses reduced counts for backward

The recursive partition type search is enabled down to 4x4, 4x8 and
8x4, followed by the corresponding rate-distortion optimization for
the per-partition encoding mode decisions.
The bit-stream writing/reading synchronized in supporting the
rectangular partition of 8x8 block.
This provides above 1% coding performance gains on derf.
To do next:
1. re-design the rate-distortion loop for inter prediction below 8x8.
2. re-design the rate-distortion loop for intra prediction below 4x4.
3. make the loop-filter aware of rectangular partition of 8x8 block.
4. clean the unused probability models.
5. update default probability values.

Replace vp9_kf_default_bmode_counts structure with
direct default probabilities. The probability structure is
smaller and it removes the need to specify in the bitstream
how to convert the counts to probabilities.
Note that I have concerns still about the size and value of
the large intra mode context. This may cause problems for
HW but it also means we rely heavily on reverse update as
forwards update of a structure this size is problematic. I
intend to review this more generally in the next few days to
see if we can come up with a competitive solution that does
not rely on such a large context.

This is a mostly-working implementation of an extra channel in the
bitstream. Configure with --enable-alpha to test. Notable TODOs:
- Add extra channel to all mismatch tests, PSNR, SSIM, etc
- Configurable subsampling
- Variable number of planes (currently always uses all 4)
- Loop filtering
- Per-plane lossless quantizer
- ARNR support
This implementation just uses the same contents as the Y channel
for the A channel, due to lack of content and general pain in
playing back 4 channel content. A later patch will use the actual
alpha channel passed in from outside the codec.

This patch creates a new inter mode contest that avoids
a dependence on the reconstructed motion vectors from
neighboring blocks. This was a change requested by
a hardware vendor to improve decode performance.
As part of this change I have also made some modifications
to stats output code (under a flag) to allow accumulation of
inter mode context flags over multiple clips
Some further changes will be required to accommodate the
deprecation of the split mv mode over the next few days.
Performance as stands is around -0.25% on derf and
std-hd but up on the YT and YT-HD sets. With further tuning
or some adjustment to the context criteria it should be
possible to make this change broadly neutral.

Without the scatterscan experiment on the results were up derf as well.

Use 4x4 block coding for UV components arbitrarily in I4X4_PRED and

In current code, motion vectors got from single prediction mode are used
in compound prediction mode directly. These motion vectors may not give
accurate prediction since they are searched independently. In this patch,
we took Pascal's suggestion, and did joint motion search in compound
prediction mode to find better motion vectors in this situation.
Test results:
Overall PSNR: 0.570%(derf), 0.918%(stdhd);
SSIM: 0.572%(derf), 1.009%(stdhd);
The encoder is a little slower. This can be improved since some c
code is used in motion search.

The previous code was somewhat vestigial for 16x16 MI units, but was
incorrect when called with chroma blocks larger than 4x4 because the
block index caused a reference to a non-existent BMI. This patch uses
the same MV for all chroma subblocks in SPLITMV mode, which is
suboptimal for non-4:2:0 subsamplings, but as SPLITMV may be removed
in the near future, will use this as a stop gap.

This doesn't affect the output, because in previous cases where the

The commmit changed to use same intra prediction function for all
block sizes.
Some details on the changes:
1. All directional modes except DC/TM/V/H now have built-in filtering
for all pixels with filter taps either (1, 2, 1)/4 or (1, 1)/2.
2. Above edge get automatic extended to double width (bw*2), which
makes a lot of the prediciton mode computation simpler.
3. Same intra prediction function is called with different size
for i4x4_pred and all other larger size.
Overall, the change helped keyframe only coding for both cif size
and std-hd size test sets by .5% consistently on all encodings.
For normal coding with single/auto key frame, the change now also
is consistently net positive for all encodings. The overall gains
is about .15% on std-hd set.
