When the first try of denoising turns out to be too much,
we will use a softer filter by adopting an adjustment to
make the result closer to original pixel (as in VP8 denoiser).
The old code made the adjustment in the wrong direction.

Use unsigned int type to store the sse in the pixel domain. The

The transform domain version however needs int64_t, since there is

In order to understand memory layout consider the declaration of the
following structs. The first one is a part of our API:
struct vpx_codec_ctx {
// ...
struct vpx_codec_priv *priv;
};
The second one is defined in vpx_codec_internal.h:
struct vpx_codec_priv {
// ...
};
The following struct is defined 4 times for encoder/decoder VP8/VP9:
struct vpx_codec_alg_priv {
struct vpx_codec_priv base;
// ...
};
Private data allocation for the given ctx:
struct vpx_codec_ctx *ctx = <get>
struct vpx_codec_alg_priv *alg_priv = <allocate>
ctx->priv = (struct vpx_codec_priv *)alg_priv;
The cast works because vpx_codec_alg_priv has a
vpx_codec_priv instance as a first member 'base'.

In the partition search, the encoder checks all possible
partitionings in the superblock's partition search tree.
This patch proposed a set of criteria for partition search
early termination, which effectively decided whether or
not to terminate the search in current branch based on the
"skippable" result of the quantized transform coefficients.
The "skippable" information was gathered during the
partition mode search, and no overhead calculations were
introduced.
This patch gives significant encoding speed gains without
sacrificing the quality.

We can use one frame context for each layer so that we don't have
to reset the probs every frame. But we can't use prev_mi since we
may drop enhancement layers. So we have to generate a non vp9
compatible bitstream and modify it in the player.
1. We need to code all frames as invisible frame to let prev_mi
not to be used. But in the bitstream we need to code the
show_frame flag to 1 so that the publisher will know it's
supposed to be a visible frame.
2. In the player we need to change the show_frame flag to 0 for
all frames. Then add an one byte frame into the super frame
to tell the decoder which layer we want to show.

In the full-rd transform size search, we go through all transform
sizes to choose the one with best rd score. In this patch, an
early termination is added to stop the search once we see that the
smaller size won't give better rd score than the larger size. Also,
the search starts from largest transform size, then goes down to
smallest size.
A speed feature tx_size_search_breakout is added, which is turned off
at speed 0, and on for other speeds. The transform size search is
turned on at speed 1.

For valid VP9 input streams, intermediate stage coefficients should

can go out of this range for invalid/corrupt VP9 streams. However,
strictly checking this range for every intermediate coefficient can
be a burden for decoder, therefore such validation is only enabled

This patch allows the encoder to skip the search for partition
SPLIT, HORZ, VERT after the search for partition NONE is done
in RD optimization. It uses the first pass block-wise statistics
to make the decision. If all 16x16 blocks in the current partition
have zero motions and small residues from the frist pass statistics,
and it has small difference variance, further partition search is
skipped.
For speed 2 setting, experiments on general youtube clips show that
the speedup varies from 1% - 10%, 5% on average. On the performance

The issue was introduced by commit g9f37d14 with adding explicit
restrictions on reference-frame scale factors. The restriction
is checked against aligned-by-8 frame dimensions, not against
original ones. So, for example, frame of 35×35 actually can refer
to frame of 70×70, but the new check won't allow this. It will
compare 35 vs 72 (not 70), so 2x downscale limit will be exceeded.

This commit extends the chessboard pattern prediction filter search.
If the above and left blocks have the same prediction filter type,
the encoder will skip the prediction filter type search and use the
reference one.
The overall chessboard pattern prediction filter type search reduces
speed 3 runtime for hard clips. Experiments on park joy at 1080p
and 15000 kbps show that the runtime goes from 723265 ms to 65832 ms,
i.e., about 10% speed-up. Compression performance wise, it affects
the coding quality by

This commit enables a chessboard pattern prediction filter type
search scheme for rate-distortion optimization speed-up. For the
inferred motion vector modes, the encoder can re-use its above/left
neighbor blocks' prediction filter type and skip a full test on
all possible filter types. Such operation is turned on/off
alternatively in a chessboard manner.
It is turned on in speed 3. For test clip pedestrian 1080p, the
runtime is reduced from 231500 ms -> 221700 ms. The compression

The caller should reset the state instead of letting worker
to reset.
This reverts commit 34b2ce15f9.

Encoder still uses SWITCHABLE as default via DEFAULT_INTERP_FILTER,
but does not override the default if it is not SWITCHABLE.

When the frame is intra coded only, the encoder takes the RD
coding flow. Hence the function set_mode_info is not practically
in use. This commit removes it and the associated conditional
branches.

This fixes the hang in VP9/InvalidFileTest.ReturnCode/3
due to worker->had_error has not been reset after getting
error.

For real time speed 7, once encode breakout is on(i.e. encoding
setting --static-thresh=1), a proper encode breakout threshold
is set to speed up the encoder.
Set --static-thresh=1, RTC set borg test showed a slight overall
psnr loss of 0.162%, but ssim gain of 0.287%. The average speedup
on RTC set is 6%, and for some clips, the speedup can be 10+%.

Before encoding a frame, calculate and store each 16x16 block's
variance of source difference between last and current frame.
Find partitioning threshold T for the frame from its variance
histogram, and then use T to make partition decisions.
Comparing with fixed 16x16 partitioning, rtc set test showed an
overall psnr gain of 3.242%, and ssim gain of 3.751%. The best
psnr gain is 8.653%.
The overall encoding speed didn't change much. It got faster for
some clips(for example, 12% speedup for vidyo1), and a little
slower for others.
Also, a minor modification was made in datarate unit test.

the buffer is only used in encoding and only when
CONFIG_INTERNAL_STATS or CONFIG_VP9_POSTPROC is enabled.
a future change should decouple this from the frame buffer allocation
and make it conditional based on runtime flags when the above config
options are enabled.
reduces decode heap usage by at least 12%

This reverts commit b336356198.
This causes a hang in:
VP9/InvalidFileTest.ReturnCode/3
the change to test/user_priv_test.cc remains with a minor update

This patch checks that a decoder never tries to reference frame that's
outside the range of 2x to 1/16th the size of this frame. Any attempt
to do so causes a failure.

Bug introduced in I930dced169c9d53f8044d2754a04332138347409. If
svc.number_temporal_layers == 1 and svc.number_spatial_layers == 1, the system
attempt to do spatial SVC. It no longer does that.

For the primary arf in a group, if multiple arfs
are enabled and we were using arfs in the previous
group, then allow the second arf from the previous
group to be used as an additional reference.

This commit enables an adaptive transform size selection method
for speed -6. It uses largest transform size when the sse is more
than 4 times of variance, i.e., most energy is compacted in the
DC coefficient. Otherwise, use the default TX_8X8. It improves
the compression efficiency for rtc set of speed -6 by 0.8%, no
speed change observed.
