- Intermediate height was not correct i.e. when block size is 4 and
y_step_q4 is 6. In this case intermediate height was
(4*6) >> 4 = 1 and vertical interpolation needs two source pixels
plus 7 extra pixels for taps.
- Also if the current output block is 16x16 and we are using 4x upscaling
we need only 12 rows after horizontal filtering instead of 16.
Patch Set 2: Intermediate_height updated after CL 66723
"Fix bug in convolution functions (filter selection)"
Change-Id: I5a1a1bc2ac9d5edb3a6e0818de618bf318fdd589
(In response to Issue 604:
https://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=604)
There were bugs in the convolution code for two cases:
1. Where the filter table was assumed to be aligned to a
256 byte boundary. The offset of the pixel in the
source buffer was computed incorrectly.
2. Where no such alignment assumption was made. An
incorrect address for the filter table base was used.
To fix both problems, I now assume that the filter table is
256-byte aligned and modify the pixel offset calculation to
match.
A later patch should remove the restriction that the filter
table is aligned to a 256-byte boundary.
There was also a bug in the ConvolveTest unit test
(convolve_test.cc).
(Bug & initial fix suggestion submitted by Tero Rintaluoma
and Sami Pietilä).

intermediate_height for horizontal filtering must be at least 8
pixels to be able to do vertical filtering correctly. Currently
it can be less for small block and y_step_q4 sizes.

Updates the common convoloution code to support blocks larger than
16x16, and rectangular blocks. This uncovered a bug in the SSSE3
filtering routines due to the order of application of saturation.
This commit fixes that bug, adjusts the unit test to bias its
random values towards the extremes, and adds a test to ensure that
all filters conform to the expected pairwise addition structure.

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%
stdhd: +0.23%
The experiment suggests bigger benefit for explicitly signaled weights.

This avoids duplicating all the filters twice. Includes fixups to the
convolve routines and associated tests to make this work.

This patch allows coding frames using references of different
resolution, in ZEROMV mode. For compound prediction, either
reference may be scaled.
To test, I use the resize_test and enable WRITE_RECON_BUFFER
in vp9_onyxd_if.c. It's also useful to apply this patch to
test/i420_video_source.h:
--- a/test/i420_video_source.h
+++ b/test/i420_video_source.h
@@ -93,6 +93,7 @@ class I420VideoSource : public VideoSource {
virtual void FillFrame() {
// Read a frame from input_file.
+ if (frame_ != 3)
if (fread(img_->img_data, raw_sz_, 1, input_file_) == 0) {
limit_ = frame_;
}
This forces the frame that the resolution changes on to be coded
with no motion, only scaling, and improves the quality of the
result.

Ensure that all inter prediction goes through a common code path
that takes scaling into account. Removes a bunch of duplicate
1st/2nd predictor code. Also introduces a 16x8 mode for 8x8
MVs, similar to the 8x4 trick we were doing before. This has an
unexpected effect with EIGHTTAP_SMOOTH, so it's disabled in that
case for now.

Implement convolve8_avg using common functions which are already optimized
instead of using more obscure ones which have only C versions. Encoder
overall speed-up of about 12%.

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.

This commit introduces a new convolution function which will be used to
replace the existing subpixel interpolation functions. It is much the
same as the existing functions, but allows for changing the filter
kernel on a per-pixel basis, and doesn't bake in knowledge of the
filter to be applied or the size of the resulting block into the
function name.
Replacing the existing subpel filters will come in a later commit.
