Removes certain cases of feedback of active_worst_quality,
and removes it from the RATE_CONTROL structure. Now active
worst quality is expected to be computed locally in the
q picking function during the encode.
Making temporal filter strength depend on avg_frame_qindex
rather than on active_worst_quality actually improves
performance esp. for yt.
derf: +0.038%
yt: +0.359%

Some parameter changes and fixes on one-pass rate control.
derfraw300 is now only 10% below 2-pass speed 0 rate control.
Change-Id: I1940eef8a5a035dc18e71b880d5e00cabd1f01b9
-Properly set the average frame size for each layer.
-Allow each layer to update its average/last Q stats after encoding.
-Initialize for some layer context variables.

Fixes some of the parameters for 1-pass non-cbr mode.
Also includes some cleanups, inlcuding refactoring of the
recode_loop options.
Results on derfraw300 improve by about 5-6%, so that the one-pass
mode is now 13% below the 2-pass mode in speed 0.
Change-Id: I844cc2638694c7574f3be00d41d60b23dc1016f0
This patch adds a buffer-based rate control for temporal layers,
under CBR mode.
Added vpx_temporal_scalable_patters.c encoder for testing temporal
layers, for both vp9 and vp8 (replaces the old vp8_scalable_patterns).
Updated datarate unittest with tests for temporal layer rate-targeting.
Change-Id: I8900a854288b9354d9c697cfeb0243a9fd6790b1
Inlcudes a number cleanups:
1. Moves the one-pass pre-encode parameter setting functions
to vp9_ratectrl.c
2. Deprecates per_frame_bandwidth in RATE_CONTROL structure
3. Removes target_bandwidth in cpi structure since it is not used.
4. Various renaming of functions
There is no bit-stream change in 2-pass, one-pass cbr and one-pass
vbr modes.
Change-Id: Ifd9916bf4d485b7d04c5f52044ffe6703254ccbd
Fixes rate control partially in one-pass non-cbr case to achieve a
bitrate close to the one desired. Previous version was way off at
the high bitrate end.
Also includes several one-pass rate control cleanups and refactoring.
On derfraw300, one-pass encoding is now 19% off from two-pass speed
0 encoding, down from 35%.
Change-Id: I6f0dcdb7f8aa85a7e7cd3a3155d4f9d2a4d2f4f4
Includes a few fixes and clean-ups that adds the ability
to use alt-ref frames in one-pass mode.
Whether alt-refs are actually used or not is controlled by a
macro USE_ALTREF_FOR_ONE_PASS in vp9_firstpass.c.
This first cut seems to improve derf by 15+% in 1-pass mode.
But further experiments with parameters are underway.
Change-Id: I78254421435478003367c788c7930d2dc4ee2816
Fixes assert that fails occasionally on small values of
max-key frame intervals. Also, adds a small change on
updating frames_to_key for frame drops.
Change-Id: Icc2b33b25e3e4ced7e49f8db73e0a887ef9c99e0
Applies an upper limit on burst bitrate for any
frame. This is to insure that typical encodes for YT
do not produce frames that are so large that they
risk stalling HW implementations. Such frames
could also cause playback problems in SW.
For now the limit is set at 250 bits per MB for 1080P
and larger (with the 1080P limit used for smaller frames).
Setting maxQ, constant quality mode or targeting a
very high bandwidth will have precedence over this limit.
Change-Id: Ie6f776c38b06ac7cec043d034085f4b79ee46a38
Some cleanups on frames_to_key, frames_since_key.
Also removes the unused fixed_q parameters in vp9.
Change-Id: If8743a32c71de30a8d17136477b53d607a7acda8
This patch sets frame types correctly in the new
vp9_get_second_pass_params() function called prior
to encode_frame_to_data_rate() function, so that the
latter function can just work with what is passed to
it. This will allow multiple vp9_get_second_pass_params()
to be created for various encode strategies without
messing with the core encode function.
There is no difference in derf and yt. stdhd/hd are pending.

Various cleanups and streamlining of interfaces as precursor
to further advancements in rate control.
Pre-encode parameter setting for different use cases:
One-pass, first of 2-pass, second of 2-pass, and Svc
are separated out.
There is no change in output with this change.
Change-Id: Ied8ca7d84d610993776aa30ef263fe20452e0e3e
Various cleanups and refactoring.
Removes feedback of active worst qaulity and uses last_q
instead to make the interface cleaner. Active worst quality
is now decided only once for a frame being coded in the
beginning based on last_q and other stats. Also, adds other
cleaups on last_q to store also the last_q for altref frames,
and reduces the altref interval a little.
The output does change a little.
derfraw300: +0.224% (global psnr)
stdhdraw250: +0.442% (global psnr)
Change-Id: Ie634cdc032697044c472dd0fe79c109b3e7f9767
Includes various cleanups.
Streamlines the interfaces so that all rate control state
updates happen in the vp9_rc_postencode_update() function.
This will hopefully make it easier to support multiple
rate control schemes.
Removes some unnecessary code, which in rare cases can casue
a difference in the constrained quality mode output, but
other than that there is no bitstream change yet.
Change-Id: I3198cc37249932feea1e3691c0b2650e7b0c22fc
The idea here is to allow "in frame" adjustment of the final Q
value used to encode each SB64, using segmentation.
There is also adjustment of the rd mult in regions of overspend.
Activated using aq_mode=2
Change-Id: I2f140cd898c9f877c32cd6d2e667f5e11ada4b1c
Moves all rate control variables to a separate structure,
removes some currently unused variables,
moves some rate control functions to vp9_ratectrl.c,
and splits the encode_frame_to_data_rate function.
Change-Id: I4ed54c24764b3b6de2dd676484f01473724ab52b
This 2-pass rate control setting allocates bits based
on first pass stats to each kf group, gf group and individual
frame but does not correct the bits left and allocation after
each frame.
In other words it recommends a bit allocation for each frame
but does not try and correct any over or under spend on a
frame over the remainder of the clip. This reduces the accuracy
of rate control in terms of hitting an average bitrate but prevents
problems that may arise because early frames either use to many
or too few bits. This mode is currently more inclined to undershoot
than overshoot (particularly at higher data rates).
Also minor changes to rate of adaption when recode loop is not
enabled.
This mode is currently enabled by default for VBR.
It gives the following % performance gains.
derf +0.467, +1.072
yt 2.962, 2.645
stdhd 1.682, 1.595,
yt-hd 2.3, 2.174
