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.

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.
Results (over compound inter-intra experiment)
derf: +0.18%
yt: +0.34%
hd: +0.49%

Now that the first AC coefficient in both directions use the same DC
as their context, there no longer is a purpose in letting both have
their own band. Merging these two bands allows us to split bands for
some of the very high-frequency AC bands.
In addition, I'm redoing the banding for the 1D-ADST col/row scans. I
don't think the old banding made any sense at all (it merged the last
coefficient of the first row/col in the same band as the first two of
the second row/col), which was clearly an oversight from the band being
applied in scan-order (rather than in their actual position). Now,
coefficients at the same position will be in the same band, regardless
what scan order is used. I think this makes most sense for the purpose
of banding, which is basically "predict energy for this coefficient
depending on the energy of context coefficients" (i.e. pt).
After full re-training, together with previous patch, derf gains about
1.2-1.3%, and hd/stdhd gain about 0.9-1.0%.

Pearson correlation for above or left is significantly higher than for
previous-in-scan-order (absolute values depend on position in scan, but
in general, we gain about 0.1-0.2 by using either above or left; using
both basically just makes this even better). For eob branch skipping,
we continue to use the previous token in scan order.
This helps about 0.9% on derf after re-training on a limited data set.
Full re-training and results on larger-resolution clips are pending.
Note that this commit breaks trellis, so we can probably get further
gains out of it by fixing trellis at some later point.

Split macroblock and superblock tokenization and detokenization
functions and coefficient-related data structs so that the bitstream
layout and related code of superblock coefficients looks less like it's
a hack to fit macroblocks in superblocks.
In addition, unify chroma transform size selection from luma transform
size (i.e. always use the same size, as long as it fits the predictor);
in practice, this means 32x32 and 64x64 superblocks using the 16x16 luma
transform will now use the 16x16 (instead of the 8x8) chroma transform,
and 64x64 superblocks using the 32x32 luma transform will now use the
32x32 (instead of the 16x16) chroma transform.
Lastly, add a trellis optimize function for 32x32 transform blocks.
HD gains about 0.3%, STDHD about 0.15% and derf about 0.1%. There's
a few negative points here and there that I might want to analyze

This patch makes the encoder's use of ref_frame_map and active_ref_idx
consistent with the decoder. ref_frame_map[] maps a reference buffer
index to its actual location in the yv12_fb array, since many
references may share an underlying buffer. active_ref_idx[] mirrors
cpi->{lst,gld,alt}_fb_idx, holding the active references in each
slot.
This also fixes a bug in setup_buffer_inter() where the incorrect
reference was used to populate the scaling factors.

To test, I use the resize_test and enable WRITE_RECON_BUFFER

In this case the number of coefficient bands is reduced

Some initial rebalancing of the default tables has been

The 32x32 value in case of splitmv was uninitialized. this leads to
all kind of erratic behaviour down the line. Also fill in dummy values
for superblocks in keyframes (the values are currently unused, but we
run into integer overflows anyway, which makes detecting bad cases
harder). Lastly, in case we did not find any RD value at all, don't
set tx_diff to INT_MIN, but instead set it to zero (since if we couldn't
find a mode, it's unlikely that any particular transform would have made
that worse or better; rather, it's likely equally bad for all tx_sizes).

This patch abstracts the selection of the coefficient band
context into a function as a precursor to further experiments
with the coefficient context.
It also removes the large per TX size coefficient band structures
and uses a single matrix for all block sizes within the test function.
This may have an impact on quality (results to follow) but is only an
intermediate step in the process of redefining the context. Also the
quality impact will be larger initially because the default tables will
be out of step with the new banding.
In particular the 4x4 will in this case only use 7 bands. If needed we
can add back block size dependency localized within the function, but
this can follow on after the other changes to the definition of the
context.

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.

Update the code to call the new convolution functions to do subpixel
prediction rather than the existing functions. Remove the old C and
assembly code, since it is unused. This causes a 50% performance
reduction on the decoder, but that will be resolved when the asm for
the new functions is available.
There is no consensus for whether 6-tap or 2-tap predictors will be
supported in the final codec, so these filters are implemented in
terms of the 8-tap code, so that quality testing of these modes
can continue. Implementing the lower complexity algorithms is a
simple exercise, should it be necessary.
This code produces slightly better results in the EIGHTTAP_SMOOTH
case, since the filter is now applied in only one direction when
the subpel motion is only in one direction. Like the previous code,
the filtering is skipped entirely on full-pel MVs. This combination
seems to give the best quality gains, but this may be indicative of a
bug in the encoder's filter selection, since the encoder could
achieve the result of skipping the filtering on full-pel by selecting
one of the other filters. This should be revisited.
Quality gains on derf positive on almost all clips. The only clip
that seemed to be hurt at all datarates was football
(-0.115% PSNR average, -0.587% min). Overall averages 0.375% PSNR,
0.347% SSIM.

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 prevents ill-defined behaviour, such as setting x->skip for a mode
that is excluded because of frame-level flags (e.g. filter selection,
compound prediction selection), then not breaking out of the RD loop
because the mode is not allowed, but keeping the flag on. Whatever mode
is iterated through next in the RD loop will then carry this flag, and
all sort of bad stuff happens, such as x->skip being set on intra pred

This patch removes the old pred-filter experiment and replaces it
with one that is implemented using the switchable filter framework.
If the pred-filter experiment is enabled, three interopolation
filters are tested during mode selection; the standard 8-tap
interpolation filter, a sharp 8-tap filter and a (new) 8-tap
smoothing filter.
The 6-tap filter code has been preserved for now and if the
enable-6tap experiment is enabled (in addition to the pred-filter
experiment) the original 6-tap filter replaces the new 8-tap smooth
filter in the switchable mode.
The new experiment applies the prediction filter in cases of a
fractional-pel motion vector. Future patches will apply the filter
where the mv is pel-aligned and also to intra predicted blocks.

Old Scheme:
When SWITCHABLE filter selection is enabled the encoder
evaluates the use of each interpolation filter type and
selects the best one to use at the MB level. A frame-
level flag can be set to force the use of a particular
filter type for all MBs in a frame if it is more efficient
to encode that way. The logic here involved a Q dependent
threshold that assumed that the second 8-tap filter was
a high-pass filter. However, this requires a trip around
the recode loop. If the frame-level flag indicates use
of a particular filter, the other filters are not
evaluated in the pick_mode loop.
New Scheme:
Each filter type is evaluated at the MB level and a record
of the best filter is kept, irrespective of what filter
is signaled at the frame-level. Once all MBs have been
encoded, a decision is made as to what frame-level mode
to set for the *next* frame. If one filter is used by 80%
or more of the MBs, then this filter is forced since it
is assumed that this will be more efficient if the
next frame has similar characteristics. i.e. there is a
one-frame lag between measuring the filter selection and

Various fixups to resolve issues when building vp9-preview under the more stringent
checks placed on the experimental branch.

Adds an experiment to derive the previous context of a coefficient
not just from the previous coefficient in the scan order but from a
combination of several neighboring coefficients previously encountered
in scan order. A precomputed table of neighbors for each location
for each scan type and block size is used. Currently 5 neighbors are
used.
Results are about 0.2% positive using a strategy where the max coef
magnitude from the 5 neigbors is used to derive the context.

For coefficients, use int16_t (instead of short); for pixel values in
16-bit intermediates, use uint16_t (instead of unsigned short); for all
others, use uint8_t (instead of unsigned char).

In some cases intra modes in inter frames give
an over smoothed appearance. Especially with
noisy but flat content.
Also in some cases there were problems with key
frame sizing again with very flat but noisy content.
These are temporary changes to help alleviate the
visual problems but will almost certainly hurt metric
results especially at the very low data rate end.

As suggested by Yaowu, we can use eob to reduce the complexity
of the vp9_ihtllm_c function. For the 1080p test clip used, the decoder
performance improved by 17%.

Add a function clip_pixel() to clip a pixel value to the [0,255] range
of allowed values, and use this where-ever appropriate (e.g. prediction,
reconstruction). Likewise, consistently use the recently added function
clip_prob(), which calculates a binary probability in the [1,255] range.
If possible, try to use get_prob() or its sister get_binary_prob() to
calculate binary probabilities, for consistency.
Since in some places, this means that binary probability calculations
are changed (we use {255,256}*count0/(total) in a range of places,
and all of these are now changed to use 256*count0+(total>>1)/total),
this changes the encoding result, so this patch warrants some extensive
testing.

Use these, instead of the 4/5-dimensional arrays, to hold statistics,
counts, accumulations and probabilities for coefficient tokens. This
commit also re-allows ENTROPY_STATS to compile.

This adds Debargha's DCT/DWT hybrid and a regular 32x32 DCT, and adds
code all over the place to wrap that in the bitstream/encoder/decoder/RD.
Some implementation notes (these probably need careful review):
- token range is extended by 1 bit, since the value range out of this
transform is [-16384,16383].
- the coefficients coming out of the FDCT are manually scaled back by
1 bit, or else they won't fit in int16_t (they are 17 bits). Because
of this, the RD error scoring does not right-shift the MSE score by
two (unlike for 4x4/8x8/16x16).
- to compensate for this loss in precision, the quantizer is halved
also. This is currently a little hacky.
- FDCT and IDCT is double-only right now. Needs a fixed-point impl.
- There are no default probabilities for the 32x32 transform yet; I'm
simply using the 16x16 luma ones. A future commit will add newly
generated probabilities for all transforms.
- No ADST version. I don't think we'll add one for this level; if an
ADST is desired, transform-size selection can scale back to 16x16
or lower, and use an ADST at that level.
Additional notes specific to Debargha's DWT/DCT hybrid:
- coefficient scale is different for the top/left 16x16 (DCT-over-DWT)
block than for the rest (DWT pixel differences) of the block. Therefore,
RD error scoring isn't easily scalable between coefficient and pixel
domain. Thus, unfortunately, we need to compute the RD distortion in
the pixel domain until we figure out how to scale these appropriately.

Adds support for compound inter-intra prediction with superblocks.
Also, fixes a bug that disabled intra modes for superblocks.
Change-Id: I4d711317e1bc19df8c2f32dc645429f7fff31036
Allows switchbale filters to be used without mismatch when the
superblock experiment is on.
Also removes a spurious clamping code in decodemv.c which causes
rare encode/decode mismatches.

Previously, the "!=" check is logically incorrect when eob is at 0 and
effective coefficient starting position is 1. This commit should have
no effect on bitstream.
