Modify the gfu_boost and af_ratio setting based on the
average frame motion level.
Change only affects 1 pass vbr.
Metrics overall positive on ytlive set.
On average up by ~1%, several clips up by 2-4%.
Change-Id: Ic18c49eb2df74cb4986b63cdb11be36d86ab5e8d
Code cleaup, use existing rolling_actual/target metrics instead,
set threshold to get same/similar effect.
Little/no change in metrics on ytlive set.
Change-Id: I74f3c3d0a143a9cf20dc9c3dee54c0f7e6a97a51
Add a max condition and lower the min value.
No change in behavior (metrics for yt live set) for the
default min/max_gf_interval=4/16 settings.
Small positive change when min/max_gf_interval=7/16
(for 60fps clips on ytlive set).

Changes to the function the redistributes bits from overshoot
or undershoot throughout the rest of the clip to respond more
quickly.

The use of this value is preventing rate adjustment on clips
or sections that have very little motion but high noise and
this can give rise to some sections with massive overshoot.

Rename and change to how its updated.

Small change in metrics (< ~0.1%) on ytlive set.
Change-Id: Ibb1fe485699b6c4a8194951c8f229abe2f64b9a5
Reduce factor for setting base-qp for active_best_quality (for inter-frames).
Small increase in metrics on yt live set.
Change-Id: I9cf0ac797783aeddbfaf1ff510696c9035d7c5ee
For 1 pass vbr mode:
Refactor to move the logic for gf setting based on up-coming
key frames to a separate function, so same logic can be used for
scene-cuts/changes.
Change-Id: Ic4ede308e08ba869bb62e4566e19ea31222c5229
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.
Change-Id: I9a628378ec6684bfda9457ebfc2384ef6d8579f7
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.

Change only affects 1 pass vbr mode, speed >=5.
Increase min_thresh, decrease boost, and set a min/max
value for gf_interval.
Change-Id: I9c1e1a1ab0c5780064eb62714ee39a72ea4d2107
Allow the encode loop to select from a wider range of Q values
when encoding normal (non arf or kf) frames.
This change is targeted at improving psycho-visual quality in some
easy sections that are currently not getting enough bits.
This is likely to be a little worse from a metrics perspective and may also
have a small impact on encode speed in cases where extra recode
iterations are triggered.
Change-Id: I667eebf33c753bcbcf8b93596467369e5708b889
For 1 pass vbr mode: Increase the period of gf update on scene
cut (keep it same as orginal/default setting for now).

The change https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/329181/
also changed behavior for cbr mode, which causes some regression
in screenshare test in webrtc.
Resetting the specific change to leave the cbr behavior
unchanged for now.

Use the superframe counter to set the key frame, and force
it to the key frame on base spatial layer only.
Also, update svc frame counters under frame dropping.
Update unittest: add specific tests with short key frame period.

Use the existing scene/content change detection to better
update/adjust golden frame refresh.
Change only affects 1 pass real-time vbr mode, speed >=5.
Change-Id: I2963a5bb7ca4a19f8cf8511b0a925e502f60e014
Limit oscilation detection in the case where overshoot is very very
large.
This keeps the 9-bit cost patch from breaking the DownUp reisze test.
The patch pushed us to an 11% undershoot right before a scene cut
causing a 1200% overshoot. (Whereas before we were undershooting by
only 6% before overshooting by 1200%).
Change-Id: Id90ccfab8aba872ccadc45b73b3bb097b895677f
For testing implemented a fixed pattern and delta, 1 pass,
fixed Q, low delay mode.
This has not in any way been tuned or optimized.
Change-Id: Idf5ee179b277fa15d07a97f14f2ce5bbaae80a04
The one pass VBR mode selects a Q range based on a
moving average of recent Q values. This calculation
should have been excluding arf overlay frames as these
are usually coded at the highest allowed value. Their
inclusion skews the average and can cause it to drift
upwards even when the clip as a whole is undershooting.
As such it can undermine correct adaptation of the allowed
Q range especially for easy content.

This change has been imported from VP9 and
alters the nature and use of exhaustive motion search.
Firstly any exhaustive search is preceded by a normal step search.
The exhaustive search is only carried out if the distortion resulting
from the step search is above a threshold value.
Secondly the simple +/- 64 exhaustive search is replaced by a
multi stage mesh based search where each stage has a range
and step/interval size. Subsequent stages use the best position from
the previous stage as the center of the search but use a reduced range
and interval size.
For example:
stage 1: Range +/- 64 interval 4
stage 2: Range +/- 32 interval 2
stage 3: Range +/- 15 interval 1
This process, especially when it follows on from a normal step
search, has shown itself to be almost as effective as a full range
exhaustive search with step 1 but greatly lowers the computational
complexity such that it can be used in some cases for speeds 0-2.
This patch also removes a double exhaustive search for sub 8x8 blocks
which also contained a bug (the two searches used different distortion
metrics).
For best quality in my test animation sequence this patch has almost
no impact on quality but improves encode speed by more than 5X.
Restricted use in good quality speeds 0-2 yields significant quality gains
on the animation test of 0.2 - 0.5 db with only a small impact on encode
speed. On most natural video clips, however, where the step search
is performing well, the quality gain and speed impact are small.

Change on affects 1 pass CBR.
On key frame, temporal layer_id is reset to 0 for 1 pass CBR,
but since "layer" is reset, the svc.layer_context[layer].is_key_frame
was not correspondingly set properly.
Change-Id: I08f6da0a55ac7429ccfbaddfb7be14479e43543b
For 1 pass CBR mode: increase waiting time after key frame
before we start sampling rate control behavior for determining
resize. This change need to disable one internal resize(DownUp)
temporally since it requires a longer clip to do so.
