1. Algorithm modification:
Instead of having same filter threshold for a whole frame, now we
allow the thresholds to be adjusted for each macroblock. In current
implementation, to avoid excessive blur on background as reported
in issue480(http://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=480), we
reduce the thresholds for skipped macroblocks.
2. SSE2 optimization:
As started in issue479(http://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=479),
the filter calculation was adjusted for better performance. The c
code was also modified accordingly. This made the deblock filter
2x faster, and the decoder was 1.2x faster overall.
Next, the demacroblock filter will be modified similarly.

Added drop_frame support in multi-resolution encoder.
If one frame is dropped at a lower-resolution level, the next
upper-resolution level encoder needs to encode that frame
independently without any lower-resolution level motion
information.
Another issue is that if one frame is dropped at some but not all
resolution levels, a frame after that one may use different set
of reference frames at different resolution levels. This reference
frame asynchronization could degrade motion search precision in
upper-resolution level encoding, which uses lower-resolution level
motion result. This change compares the lower-resolution and upper-
resolution level's reference frames. If they are not the same, the
upper-resolution level encoder can not use lower-resolution level
motion result.

Avoid a pthreads dependency via pthread_once() when compiled with
--disable-multithread.
In addition, this synchronization is disabled for Win32 as well, even
though we can be sure that the required primatives exist, so that the
requirements on the application when built with --disable-multithread
are consistent across platforms.
Users using libvpx built with --disable-multithread in a multithreaded
context should provide their own synchronization. Updated the
documentation to vpx_codec_enc_init_ver() and vpx_codec_dec_init_ver()
to note this requirement. Moved the RTCD initialization call to match
this description, as previously it didn't happen until the first
frame.

After a key frame encoding, the frame type could change while
filtering is still going on. Pass the frame type as parameter to the

vp8cx_set_alt_lf_level has to be done before packing the stream.
Currently alt_lf_level is not used so there hasn't been any visible

In multi-resolution encoding, frame_type decision for each frame
is made by the lowest-resolution encoder. For all other higher-
resolution encoders, kf_mode is always set to VPX_KF_DISABLED,
and they are forced to use the same frame_type picked by the
lowest-resolution encoder.

The backup MODE_INFO buffer used in the error concealment was
allocated in the codec common parts allocation even though this is a
decoder only resource. Moved the allocation to the decoder side.
No need to update_mode_info_border as mode_info buffers are zero

This fixes also a potential memory leak as the EC overlaps buffer was not
properly released before reallocation after a frame size change.

This patch includes:
1. fixes to disable block based termporal mixing when motion
is detected (because this version of mfqe only handles zero motion).
2. The criterion used for determining whether to mix or
not are changed to use squared differences rather than
absolute differences.
3. Additional checks on color mismatch and excessive block
flatness added. If the block as decoded has very low activity
it is unlikely to yield benefits for mixing.
Change-Id: I07331e5ab5ba64844c56e84b1a4b7de823eac6cb
In cases where you have a flat background occluded by a moving object
of similar luminosity in the foreground, it was likely that the
foreground blocks would persist for a few frames after the background
is uncovered. This is particularly noticable when the object has a
different color than the background, so add the chroma planes in as an
additional check.
In addition, for block sizes of 8 and 16, the luma threshold is
applied on four subblocks independently, which helps when only part of
the background in the block has been uncovered.
This fixes issue #392, which includes a test clip to reproduce the
issue.
