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.

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.

We could remove calling set_scale_factors() since it is also

decode_modes_b().

This patch checks at the frame level to see if the previous
mode info context can be used. This patch eliminates the
flag check that was done for every mode and removes another

1. remove prediction mode conversion

Hardware implementation needs to load coeff probs based on the
transform size. For selectable transform size, moving these bits
earlier in the bitstream adds some delay giving time to preload
the probs and speeds up the decoding process.

This code does not seem to be necessary anymore.

Move 4x4/4x8/8x4 partition coding out of experimental list.
This commit fixed the unit test failure issues. It also resolved
the merge conflicts between 4x4 block level partition and iterative
motion search for comp_inter_inter.

This commit changed the encoding and decoding of intra blocks to be
based on transform block. In each prediction block, the intra coding
iterates thorough each transform block based on raster scan order.
This commit also fixed a bug in D135 prediction code.
TODO next:
The RD mode/txfm_size selection should take this into account when
computing RD values.

This commit allows the rate-distortion optimization of intra coding
capable of supporting 8x4 and 4x8 partition settings.
It enables the entropy coding of intra modes in key frame using a
unified contextual probability model conditioned on its above/left
prediction modes.
Coding performance:
derf 0.464%
Change-Id: Ieed055084e11fcb64d5d5faeb0e706d30268ba18
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.

Combining encode_nmv_component with encode_nmv_component_fp
and read_nmv_component with read_nmv_component_fp. Bitstream is slightly
changed (only the order of bits), here are the results on test sets:
stdhd: +0.047, yt: -0.038, derf: +0.001, hd: -0.011.

This commit allows the rate-distortion optimization recursion
at encoder to go down to 4x4 block size. It deprecates the use
of I4X4_PRED and SPLITMV syntax elements from bit-stream
writing/reading. Will remove the unused probability models in
the next patch.
The partition type search and bit-stream are now capable of
supporting the rectangular partition of 8x8 block, i.e., 8x4
and 4x8. Need to revise the rate-distortion parts to get these
two partition tested in the rd loop.

blockd and mode_info_context.

Function set_mb_row() and set_mb_col() do similar work and are always

This commit enables selecting probability models for recursive block
partition information syntax, depending on its above/left partition
information, as well as the current block size. These conditional
probability models are reasonably stationary and consistent across
frames, hence the backward adaptive approach is used to maintain and
update the contextual models.
It achieves coding performance gains (on top of enabling rectangular
block sizes):
derf: 0.242%
yt: 0.391%
hd: 0.376%
stdhd: 0.645%

Also some further simplification following removal
of top node code.
There is an issue in regards to the shared file vp8cx.h
in regard to the roi_map as this interface assumes that
there are only 4 segments. I have left the value here as
4 for now meaning that the roi_map interface is broken
for VP9.
Note that this change would have been easier if I hadn't
had to search for hard wire instances of the number 4
and <= 3.

For 1080 material, this buffer is currently 2,270,928 bytes. This patch swaps

to 1%.

Enable recursive partition information coding from SB64X64 down to
MB16X16. The bit-stream syntax is now supporting rectangular block
sizes. It starts from SB64X64 and recursively describes the partition
type of the current block. If the partition type is PARTITION_NONE,
the block is coded as a single unit; if it is PARTITION_HORZ or
PARTITION_VERT, the block is segmented into two independently coded
rectangular units, with no further partition needed; otherwise, the
block is segmented into 4 square blocks. i.e., PARTITION_SPLIT case,
each can be potentially further partitioned.
Forward adaptive probability modeling is used for the partition
information coding, conditioned on the current block size.

This flag was added to VP8 to allow a mode where MB-level skipping

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.
This improves the coding performance of high motion sequences, e.g.,
derf set:
foreman 0.233%
husky 0.175%
icd 0.135%
mother_daughter 0.337%
pamphlet 0.561%

The patch adds the flexibility to use standard EOB based coding
on smaller block sizes and nzc based coding on larger blocksizes.
The tx-sizes that use nzc based coding and those that use EOB based
coding are controlled by a function get_nzc_used().
By default, this function uses nzc based coding for 16x16 and 32x32
transform blocks, which seem to bridge the performance gap
substantially.
All sets are now lower by 0.5% to 0.7%, as opposed to ~1.8% before.
