This commit changes the call in vp9 encoder from vp9_deblock() to
vp9_post_proc_frame() to ensure the data structures used in the call
are properly allocated. This fixes an encoder crash when configured
with --enable-internal-stats.

Allow usage of lookahead for VBR in real-time mode, for 1 pass vbr.
Current usage is for fast checking of future scene cuts/changes,

For real-time mode, increase variance threshold for 32x32 blocks in
var-based partitioning for resolution >= 720p, so that it is more
likely to stay at 32x32 for high resolution which accelerates the

This commit adds an encoder workaround to support better
compatibility with a non-compliant hardware vp9 profile 2 decoder.
The known issue with this decoder is:
The decoder assumes a wrong value, 127 instead of the correct
value of 511 and 2047, for any assumed top-left corner pixel in
UV planes for 10 and 12 bit, respectively. Such assumed
top-left corner pixel is used for INTRA prediction when a real
decoded/reconstructed pixel is not avalable, e.g. when it is
located inside the row above the top row or inside the column
left to the leftest column of a video image.

Increase in the damping used in adjusting the active Q range.
This does hurt rate accuracy a little in a few extreme cases
especially if the clip is very short*, but helps metrics.
* Note that the adjustment is applied at the GF/ARF group level based
on what happened in the last group. Hence for very short clips where
the length of a single group may be a significant % of the clip length
there is still scope for some drift that cannot be accommodated.
In practice most data points in our test sets are now much closer to target
than was previously the case with default settings and in some cases are
better even than they were with the command line undershoot and overshoot
parameter was set very low (e.g. 2%). For example in bridge_close at high rates

"qc" in vp{9,10}_token_state is used to save quantized coefficients, this
commit changes the type from short to tran_low_t to properly reflect
the value range for highbitdepth build.
This fixes an out-of-range bug when optimize_b is used in highbitdepth
build.

This is an actual overflow where the result of the calculation is
materially changed, not just a negative value that is stored in an
unsigned.
Caught with fsanitize=integer on the VP9/AqSegmentTest.TestNoMisMatchAQ2/1 test.

Move skin superblock force split out of this function as well
as some minor code refactors. Checked bitexact for different speed
settings and different resolutions.

First, we only set use_4x4_partition for key frame where we don't
denoise; second, envision we have small partitions, we should pass the
actual block size to denoiser and make an early termination if needed.

Wrap around behavior is enforced manually and we use the values in
arithmetic involving negative integers.

Block size passed into denoiser filter is always >= BLOCK_8X8 (in
vp9_pick_inter_mode), it is not necessary to check smaller block
size. Passed the bitexact test on clips with different resolutions and
noise levels.

Fix will reset the consec_zero_mv map on non-skipped blocks with non-zero mv.
Adjust thresholds on consec_zero_mv in noise estimation and skin detection,
as more possible reset on map means lower thresholds should be used.

In VP9 internal denoiser, motion magnitude is computed from
best_sse_mv, which should be set to 0 at the begining. This bug may
cause visual aritifact in denoiser. Also, delete two improper comments.
Change-Id: I8710d2acba23320bc85cf72af17d65245c19438b
Need to check that sse for non-zero mv has been set for the current block
(i.e., check that nonzero-mv is tested as a mode, so newmv_sse != UINT_MAX)
before forcing to not use zero-mv for denoising.
Also increase some thresholds (sse and sse_diff) for high noise case,
and use shift operaton instead of multiplication on a threshold computation.

Resolved two TODO items.
Force a minimum value of 1.0 for frame duration as per section duration.
Column inactive zone is currently set to 0 as most of the serious issues
relating to inactive regions relate to letter boxing.

In Aq mode 1 the segment and AQ delta for each block is based
on spatial variance. There may be a net imbalance between blocks
that have lower Q than the baseline value and those that have higher Q.
This patch monitors that imbalance and extends the allowed baseline
Q range for the frame to accommodate adjustment of that baseline value
to compensate.

So it can be used even with aq-mode=3 not enabled.
Also cleans up some code in the places where its used.
No change in behavior.

Removed this todo because of another todo which says none of this code
should exist. It should be integrated into the block by block encode
process as per the decoder.

For 1 pass vbr mode.
Increase the gf interval for case where average Q is close to
max and high overshoot is detected.
Small increase in overall avg_psnr/sssim metrics (~0.2/0.1%) for ytlive,
but improves the low-end (low bitrate) for several clips (less overshoot).
Change-Id: Ifba40f25b4861b2e0d9832c82d5359a6a3dce9f2
More even spacing near key frame and avoid gf on scene cut
if its close to key frame.
Small increase in metrics for ytlive set (which uses key-period=150).
(~0.2% gain)
Change only affects 1 pass vbr mode.
Change-Id: If1e5a59baf1e0befbaf998522fbc47d94ac5b5df
Change only affects 1 pass vbr.
Use a q value somewhat larger (~6%) than avg_frame_qindex[INTER]
as basis for active_best_quality for inter-frames.
And use the minium of this (avg_frame_qindex) and the active_worst_quality.
This reduces some overshoot in ytlive clips.
Overall small but positive average increase in metrics (up on average ~0.2%).
Change-Id: Icdbaae7872d5675fd38a13c0ec6ce0e2e3b919ce
Change recursive weight for average_source_sad and
put some constraint on spacing between detected scene-cuts.
Change only affects 1 pass real-time mode.
Change-Id: I1917e748d845e244812d11aec2a9d755372ec182
Correct the setting of Q basis of GF/ARF in 1 pass vbr.
Existing logic would switch to using avg_QP of key frame if
avg_QP of inter is less than active worst (even if key frame is
not last frame).
Instead fix the logic (as per the comment) to use the lower of
active_worst_quality and avg_Q for inter as basis for GF/ARF
active_best_quality (unless last frame was key frame).
Increase in metrics: AvgPSNR/SSIM up by ~0.7/0.3 on ytlive set.

Adjustment to stop excessive prediction decay triggered by blocks
or frames with extremely low spatial complexity which rendered the
comparison of intra and inter coded errors meaningless.
This was causing much shorter than expected groups on some 4k
test content.

Uses a metric on fraction of smooth blocks derived from first pass
stats in a frame to adjust down the cq_level modestly in the cq mode.
The current implementation does not add much complexity, and is
fairly light in the adaptation.

Adjust the motion decay component to account for image size.
This has very little impact for smaller image sizes.
Average bdrate results for our HD test sets:-
Hdres set: opsnr +0,92%, Fast SSIM +1.6%
Netflix hd set: opsnr + 1.5%, Fast SSIM +3.1%
There are a couple of notable -ve clips such as cyclist and sunflower
which seem to be better with a shorter interval but also a few very big
wins such as Jets >12% psnr 22% Fast SSIM and from the Netflix
Netflix set PierSeaside 9.7% psnr and 18.2% Fast SSIM.

Change only affects 1 pass vbr mode, speed >=5.
Increase min_thresh, decrease boost, and set a min/max
value for gf_interval.

Trap the case where we end up with a very short arf group just before
a key frame. Such a group often has poor quality and may cause pulsing.
For example if the KF is 17 frames away we are better doing two mid-size
groups of 9 and 8 than a group of 15 followed by a group of 2.
This becomes more and more important when coding with a short forced
kf interval though it may not impact our standard tests much.
