The error-concealer is plugged in after any motion vectors have been
decoded. It tries to estimate any missing motion vectors from the
motion vectors of the previous frame. Intra blocks with missing
residual are replaced with inter blocks with estimated motion vectors.
This feature was developed in a separate sandbox
(sandbox/holmer/error-concealment).

This commit restructures the mb activity masking code

In NEWMV mode, currently, full search is used as the refining search
after n-step search. By replacing it with an iterative diamond search
of radius 1 largely reduced the computation complexity, but still
maintained the same encoding quality since the refining search is
done for every macroblock instead of only a small precentage of
macroblocks while using full search.
Tests on the test set showed a 3.4% encoding speed increase with none
psnr & ssim loss.

The existing emulation of posix semaphores on Windows uses SetEvent()
and WaitForSingleObject(), which implements a binary semaphore, not a
counting semaphore as implemented by posix. This causes deadlock when
used with the expected posix semantics. Instead, this patch uses the
CreateSemaphore() and ReleaseSemaphore() calls (introduced in Windows
2000) which have the expected behavior.
This patch also reverts commit eb16f00, which split a semaphore that
was being used with counting semantics into two binary semaphores.
That commit is unnecessary with corrected emulation.

The mmap allocation code in vp8_dx_iface.c was inconsistent.
The static array vp8_mem_req_segs defines two descriptors,
but only the first is real. The second is a sentinel and
isn't actually allocated, so vpx_codec_alg_priv is declared
with mmaps[NELEMENTS(vp8_mem_req_segs)-1]. Some functions
use this reduced upper bound when iterating though the mmap
array, but these two functions did not.

In multithreaded mode the loopfilter is running in its own thread (filter level
calculation and frame filtering). Filtering is mostly done in parallel with the
bitstream packing. Before starting the packing the loopfilter level has
to be calculated. Also any needed reference frame copying is done in the
filter thread.
Currently the encoder will create n+1 threads, where n > 1 is the number of
threads specified by application and 1 is the extra filter thread. With n = 1
the encoder runs in single thread mode. There will never be more than n threads
running concurrently.

The firstpass motion map consists of an 8-bit flag for
each MB indicating how strongly the firstpass code
believes it should be filtered during the second pass
ARNR filtering.
For long or large format material the motion map can
become extremely large and hamper the operation of
the encoding process.
This change removes the motion map altogether, leaving
the second pass to rely on the magnitude of the motion
compensated error to determine the filter weight to
use for the MB during ARNR filtering.
Tests on the derf set indicate that the effect of this
change is neutral, with some small wins and losses. The
motion map has therefore been removed based on
a cost/benefit evaluation.

When the modified_error_left accumulator exceeds INT_MAX, an incorrect
cast to int resulted in a negative value, causing the rate control to
allocate no bits to that keyframe group, leading to severe undershoot
and subsequent poor quality.
This error was exposed by the recent change to the rolling target and
actual spend accumulators in commit 305be4e4 which fixed them to
actually calculate the average value rather than be re-initialized
on every frame to the average per-frame bitrate. When this bug was
triggered, the target bitrate could be 0, so the rolling target
becomes small, which causes the undershoot. The code prior to 305be4e4
did not exhibit this behavior because the rolling target was always
set to a reasonable value and was independent of the actual target
bitrate. With this patch, the actual target bitrate is calculated
correctly, and the rate control tracks as expected.
This cast was likely added to silence a compiler warning on a comparison
between a double (modified_error_left) and an int (0). Instead, this
patch removes the cast and changes the comparison to be against 0.0,
which should prevent the warning from reoccuring.
This fixes issue #289. Special thanks to gnafu for his efforts in
reporting and debugging this fix.

This fixes an overflow problem in the frame error accumulators.
The overflow condition is extreme but did trigger when Frank B.
coded some high motion interlaced HD content.
The observed effect was a catastrophic breakdown of the rate
control leading to massive undershoot and poor bit allocation.
All the error values should really be unsigned but I will look at this
separately.

The encoder was not correctly catching transitions in the quantizer

Previously, the DC check is to make sure there is no code-able
DC shift for quantizer Q0, which has been verified rather
conservative. This commit changes the criteria to have two
components, DC and AC, to address the conservativeness. First,
it checks if all AC energy is enough to contribute a single
non-zero quantized AC coefficient. Second, for DC, the decision
to skip further considers two possible scenarios: 1. There is
no code-able 2nd order DC coefficient at all; 2 The residue is
relatively flat, but the uniform DC change is very small, i.e.
less than 1/2 gray level per pixel.
Comparing to previous criteria, the new criteria is about 10%
to 15% faster in encoding time with a very small quality loss.
(threshold ~1000 and quality range 33db-45db)
It should be noted that this commit enables "automatic" static
threshold for encodebreakout if a non-zero small value is passed

The merge includes hooks to for CQ mode and other code
changes merged from the test branch.
CQ mode attempts to maintain a more stable quantizer within a clip
whilst also trying to adhere to a guidline maximum bitrate.
The existing target data rate parameter is used to specify the
guideline maximum bitrate.
A new parameter allows the user to specify a target CQ level.
For normal (non kf/gf/arf) frames, the quantizer will not drop BELOW the

choose to impose a target CQ that is above that specified by the user,
if it estimates that consistent use of the target value is not compatible
with guideline maximum bitrate.

Commit 0ce3901 introduced a change in the frame buffer copy logic where
the NEW frame could be copied to the ARF or GF buffer through the
copy_buffer_to_{arf,gf}==1 flags, if the LAST frame was not being
refreshed. This is not correct. The intent of the
copy_buffer_to_{arf,gf}==1 flag is to copy the LAST buffer. To copy the
NEW buffer, the refresh_{alt_ref,golden}_frame flag should be used.
The original buffer copy logic is fairly convoluted. For example:
if (cm->refresh_last_frame)
{
vp8_swap_yv12_buffer(&cm->last_frame, &cm->new_frame);
cm->frame_to_show = &cm->last_frame;
}
else
{
cm->frame_to_show = &cm->new_frame;
}
...
if (cm->copy_buffer_to_arf)
{
if (cm->copy_buffer_to_arf == 1)
{
if (cm->refresh_last_frame)
vp8_yv12_copy_frame_ptr(&cm->new_frame, &cm->alt_ref_frame);
else
vp8_yv12_copy_frame_ptr(&cm->last_frame, &cm->alt_ref_frame);
}
else if (cm->copy_buffer_to_arf == 2)
vp8_yv12_copy_frame_ptr(&cm->golden_frame, &cm->alt_ref_frame);
}
Effectively, if refresh_last_frame, then new and last are swapped, so
when "new" is copied to ARF, it's equivalent to copying LAST to ARF. If
not refresh_last_frame, then LAST is copied to ARF. So LAST is copied to
ARF in both cases.
Commit 0ce3901 removed the first buffer swap but kept the
refresh_last_frame?new:last behavior, changing the sense since the first
swap wasn't done to the more readable refresh_last_frame?last:new, but
this logic is not correct when !refresh_last_frame.
This commit restores the correct behavior from v0.9.1 and prior. This
case is missing from the test vector set.

the lookup table is based on floating point calculations (see source)
by moving the *3 before the downshift and adding the rounding bit, the
delta (LUT - integer) goes from:
______________________________________
__ 1__ 1______________________________
__ 1__ 1______________________________
____ 1______ 1________________________
____ 1 2__ 2 1________________________
______ 1 1 2__ 2__ 2__ 2 1 1__________
________ 1 1 2 2__ 1 2 3 1 2__ 2__ 2__
to:
__-1__-1______________________________
______________________________________
____-1______-1________________________
______________________________________
________-1______________-1____________
______________________________________
it's important to be able to use the integer version because the LUT
more or less precludes SIMD optimizations

allow for optimized versions of apply_temporal_filter
(now vp8_apply_temporal_filter_c)
the function was previously declared as static and appears to have been
inlined. with this change, that's no longer possible. performance takes
a small hit.
the declaration for vp8_cx_temp_filter_c was moved to onyx_if.c because
of a circular dependency. for rtcd, temporal_filter.h holds the
definition for the rtcd table, so it needs to be included by onyx_int.h.
however, onyx_int.h holds the definition for VP8_COMP which is needed
for the function prototype. blah.

Add a new encoder control, VP8E_SET_TUNING, to allow the application
to inform the encoder that the material will benefit from certain
tuning. Expose this control as the --tune option to vpxenc. The args
helper is expanded to support enumerated arguments by name or value.
Two tunings are provided by this patch, PSNR (default) and SSIM.
Activity masking is made dependent on setting --tune=ssim, as the
current implementation hurts speed (10%) and PSNR (2.7% avg,
10% peak) too much for it to be a default yet.

Inform the caller of the decoder if a decoded frame updated last,
golden, or altref frames, required for realtime communication
proposed in document VP8 RTP payload format.
Added a new vpx_codec_control called VP8D_GET_LAST_REF_UPDATES, to be
called after vpx_codec_decode. The control will indicate which of the
reference frames that were updated by setting the 3 LSBs in the input
int (pointer).

In SPLITMV, the 8x8 segment will be checked first. If the 8x8 rd
is better than the best, we check the other segments. Otherwise
bail. Adjustments to the thresh_mult were necessary to make
up for the initial quality loss.
The performance improved by 20% (average) for good quality,
speed 0 and speed 1, while the overall quality remained the same.

vp8_rd_pick_best_mbsegmentation looks at y only. The new

This fix added MV range checks for NEWMV mode as suggested by Jim.
To reduce unnecessary MV range checks, I tried Yaowu's suggestion.
Update UMV borders in NEWMV mode to also cover MV range check.
Also, in this way, every MV that is valid gets checked in diamond
search function.

The MV's range is 256. Since the new motion search uses a different

be done to avoid corruption.

The inter_minq table controls the range of quantizers available
for a particular frame in two pass relative to a max Q value.
The changes reduces the range somewhat. The effect of this
was a small increase (0.3% average) in psnr for the test set
but it should also help encode speed somewhat for higher
quality modes as it will reduce the number of iterations in the
recode loop.
The change damps the range of quantizers available locally
within a section of a clip and should therefore help keep quality
more uniform. If there is systematic overshoot or undershoot the
range can shift gradually to accommodate. However, there is
some increased risk of overshoot or undershoot against the target
bit rate in VBR mode and this risk will be more pronounced for short
clips.

Add vp8_mv_pred() to better predict starting MV for NEWMV
mode in vp8_rd_pick_inter_mode(). Set different search
ranges according to MV prediction accuracy, which improves
encoder performance without hurting the quality. Also,
as Yaowu suggested, using diamond search result as full
search starting point and therefore adjusting(reducing)
full search range helps the performance.

On a keyframe alt ref and golden are refreshed. The flag was
not being set and so on the frame after a keyframe, motion
search would occur on the alt ref frame. This is not necessary
because the alt ref frame identical to the last frame in this
scenario.
Handle corner case where a forward alt-ref frame is put
directly after a keyframe.
