This is the initial patch for supporting 1/8th pel
motion. Currently if we configure with enable-high-precision-mv,
all motion vectors would default to 1/8 pel. Encode and
decode syncs fine with the current code. In the next phase
the code will be refactored so that we can choose the 1/8
pel mode adaptively at a frame/segment/mb level.
Derf results:
http://www.corp.google.com/~debargha/vp8_results/enhinterp_hpmv.html
(about 0.83% better than 8-tap interpoaltion)
Patch 3: Rebased. Also adding 1/16th pel interpolation for U and V
Patch 4: HD results.
http://www.corp.google.com/~debargha/vp8_results/enhinterp_hd_hpmv.html
Seems impressive (unless I am doing something wrong).
Patch 5: Added mmx/sse for bilateral filtering, as well as enforced
use of c-versions of subpel filters with 8-taps and 1/16th pel;
Also redesigned the 8-tap filters to reduce the cut-off in order to
introduce a denoising effect. There is a new configure option
sixteenth-subpel-uv which will use 1/16 th pel interpolation for
uv, if the motion vectors have 1/8 pel accuracy.
With the fixes the results are promising on the derf set. The enhanced
interpolation option with 8-taps alone gives 3% improvement over thei
derf set:

Yunqing fixed an oddity in UVIntra skippable evaluation for stable
branch, which brought up the fact that the evaluation is broken.
The issue was that for MBs with 2nd order block, the eob for 1st
order blocks is set at 1. The previous evaluation did not take that
into account. This commit intend to fix the problem. The commit also
absorbed Yunqing's fix for UVIntra skippable evalution.
Test on hd showed some good gains in combination with LPF bias fix:

The commit rationized and simplified the entropy context conversion
betwen MB using 8x8 transform and MB using 4x4 transform. The old version
had a number of weirdness in how 4x4 transform MB's context is used for
8x8 blocks other than the first 8x8 within a MB.
Test showed the change has a gain ~.1% for avg psnr, glb psnr and ssim on

During the work of extend_qrange, we have rolled a factor of 2 from

This commit does the same for the 2nd order haar transform. so they

Previously, the scaling related to extended quantize range happens in
dequantization stage, which implies the coefficients form forward
transform are in different scale(4x) from dequantization coefficients
This worked fine when there was not distortion computation done based
on 8x8 transform, but it completely wracked the distortion estimation
based on transform coefficients and dequantized transform coefficients
introduced in commit f64725a00 for macroblocks using 8x8 transform.
This commit fixed the issue by moving the scaling into the stage of
inverse 8x8 transform.

I'm basically not convinced that the concept works at all, let alone
that this is the right place to do it. I think if we want something
like this at all, I should integrate it with the main encoding loop
and re-encode checks in onyx_if.c, and show that it has a significant
benefit (which right now, it doesn't; removing this re-encode check
actually increases all metrics by ~0.15%).

This commit moved segment based loop filter level selection into
the experiment of CONFIG_FEATUREUPDATES. As previous commit noted,
the segment based loop filter selection helps the compression by
~0.1% on cif set, the ongoing experiment CONFIG_FEATUREUPDATES
made encoding updates of the segment based LPF level more efficient,
hence, another .04% gain on cif set. The commit also fixed an issue
previously where encoder/decoder may use different loop filter level
for one of the segments.

Added a frame level flag to indicate if coef probabilities are updated
at all for the frame.
During the experimental work with 8x8 transform, it is discovered that
even in the case of no probability is ever update, cost of transmitting
"no update" for each of probabilities can run up to become a significant
overhead cost. A single bit to indicate no-update for all coef probs
is therefore helpful, which is also demonstrated by the test results:
1. On Cif set:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/cif_t8x8_updprob.html
(avg psnr: .14%, glb psnr: .14% SSIM: .13%)
2. On HD set:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/HD_t8x8_updprob.html
(avg psnr: .02% glb psnr: .01% SSIM: .02%)
It should be noted that the gain on HD is smaller because the average bit
rate is much higher in contrast to the overhead bit cost.

For 8x8 transformed macroblock, the 2nd order transform is a 2x2 haar
transform, here there is only 4 coefficients total. A previous merge

In summary, this commit encompasses a series of changes in attempt to
improve the 8x8 transform based coding to help overall compression
quality, please refer to the detailed commit history below for what
are the rationale underly the series of changes:
a. A frame level flag to indicate if 8x8 transform is used at all.
b. 8x8 transform is not used for key frames and small image size.
c. On inter coded frame, macroblocks using modes B_PRED, SPLIT_MV
and I8X8_PRED are forced to using 4x4 transform based coding, the
rest uses 8x8 transform based coding.
d. Encoder and decoder has the same assumption on the relationship
between prediction modes and transform size, therefore no signaling
is encoded in bitstream.
e. Mode decision process now calculate the rate and distortion scores
using their respective transforms.
Overall test results:
1. HD set
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/HD_t8x8_20120206.html
(avg psnr: 3.09% glb psnr: 3.22%, ssim: 3.90%)
2. Cif set:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/cif_t8x8_20120206.html
(avg psnr: -0.03%, glb psnr: -0.02%, ssim: -0.04%)
It should be noted here, as 8x8 transform coding itself is disabled
for cif size clips, the 0.03% loss is purely from the 1 bit/frame
flag overhead on if 8x8 transform is used or not for the frame.
---patch history for future reference---
Patch 1:
this commit tries to select transform size based on macroblock
prediction mode. If the size of a prediction mode is 16x16, then
the macroblock is forced to use 8x8 transform. If the prediction
mode is B_PRED, SPLITMV or I8X8_PRED, then the macroblock is forced
to use 4x4 transform. Tests on the following HD clips showed mixed
results: (all hd clips only used first 100 frames in the test)
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/hdmodebased8x8.htmlhttp://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/hdmodebased8x8_log.html
while the results are mixed and overall negative, it is interesting to
see 8x8 helped a few of the clips.
Patch 2:
this patch tries to hard-wire selection of transform size based on
prediction modes without using segmentation to signal the transform size.
encoder and decoder both takes the same assumption that all macroblocks
use 8x8 transform except when prediciton mode is B_PRED, I8X8_PRED or
SPLITMV. Test results are as follows:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/cifmodebase8x8_0125.htmlhttp://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/hdmodebased8x8_0125log.html
Interestingly, by removing the overhead or coding the segmentation, the
results on this limited HD set have turn positive on average.
Patch 3:
this patch disabled the usage of 8x8 transform on key frames, and kept the
logic from patch 2 for inter frames only. test results on HD set turned
decidedly positive with 8x8 transform enabled on inter frame with 16x16
prediction modes: (avg psnr: .81% glb psnr: .82 ssim: .55%)
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/hdintermode8x8_0125.html
results on cif set still negative overall
Patch 4:
continued from last patch, but now in mode decision process, the rate and
distortion estimates are computed based on 8x8 transform results for MBs
with modes associated with 8x8 transform. This patch also fixed a problem
related to segment based eob coding when 8x8 transform is used. The patch
significantly improved the results on HD clips:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/hd8x8RDintermode.html
(avg psnr: 2.70% glb psnr: 2.76% ssim: 3.34%)
results on cif also improved, though they are still negative compared to
baseline that uses 4x4 transform only:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/cif8x8RDintermode.html
(avg psnr: -.78% glb psnr: -.86% ssim: -.19%)
Patch 5:
This patch does 3 things:
a. a bunch of decoder bug fixes, encodings and decodings were verified
to have matched recon buffer on a number of encodes on cif size mobile and
hd version of _pedestrian.
b. the patch further improved the rate distortion calculation of MBS that
use 8x8 transform. This provided some further gain on compression.
c. the patch also got the experimental work SEG_LVL_EOB to work with 8x8
transformed macroblock, test results indicates it improves the cif set
but hurt the HD set slightly.
Tests results on HD clips:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/HD_t8x8_20120201.html
(avg psnr: 3.19% glb psnr: 3.30% ssim: 3.93%)
Test results on cif clips:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/cif_t8x8_20120201.html
(avg psnr: -.47% glb psnr: -.51% ssim: +.28%)
Patch 6:
Added a frame level flag to indicate if 8x8 transform is allowed at all.
temporarily the decision is based on frame size, can be optimized later
one. This get the cif results to basically unchanged, with one bit per
frame overhead on both cif and hd clips.
Patch 8:
Rebase and Merge to head by PGW.
Fixed some suspect 4s that look like hey should be 64s in regard
to segmented EOB. Perhaps #defines would be bette.
Bulit and tested without T8x8 enabled and produces unchanged
output.
Patch 9:
Corrected misalligned code/decode of "txfm_mode" bit.

T8x8 configured on derf clips.

The existing code updated the reference frame probabilities before
the test to evaluate the impact of using updated probabilities
in vp8_estimate_entropy_savings().
The estimate of cost and savings is still basic and does not reflect
the new prediction code but this would require per MB costings
and the benefit is probably marginal, as this is really just used for
rate estimation in the loop.

Initial modifications to make limited use of common prediction

frame level probability. The code is a bit cleaner and simpler.
In direct comparison with old unpredicted method with segment level
coding turned off for mode,ref & EOB the prediction gives a gain on derf
of around 0.4%. There is some further gain from bug fixes over earlier code.
With segment coding on the prediction method is slightly -ve on some very
easy clips (at low rates) due to slightly higher overheads, but better on harder

As a precursor to encoding 32x32 blocks this cl adds the
ability to encode the frame superblock (=32x32 block) at
a time. Within a SB the 4 indiviual MBs are encoded in
raster-order (NW,NE,SW,SE).
This functionality is added as an experiment which can be
enabled by ispecifying --enable-superblocks in the
command line specified to configure (CONFIG_SUPERBLOCKS
macro in the code).
To make this work I had to disable the two intra
prediction modes that use data from the top-right of the
MB.
On the tests that I have run the results produce
almost exactly the same PSNRs & SSIMs with a very
slightly higher average data rate (and slightly higher
data rate than just disabling the two intra modes in
the original code).
NOTE: This will also break the multi-threaded code.

This commit added a set of loop filter functions for macroblocks

The commit adds a new set of loop filter for macroblock edge filtering.
The new loop filter has a mask to detect so-called "flat" regions. The
detection checks 5 pixels of each side of an edge. If the all pixels
have value with +/-1 from the edge pixel on the same side, the region
is treated as a "flat" region. For such case, a 7 tap filter is used
to change 3 pixel values on each side. The 7 taps are:
[1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1]/8
The furthest away pixels used as input are +/-5 away from edge. For
non-flat region, we fall back to old filtering. It should be noted
here that the thresholds and filter taps may require more optimization
for best possible results.

A problem can arise on static clips with force key frames where
attempts to avoid popping lead to a progressive reduction in key
frame Q that ultimately may lead to unexpected overspend against
the rate target.
The changes in this patch help to insure that in such clips the
quality of the key frames across the clip is more uniform (rather
than starting bad and getting better - especially at low target rates).
This patch also includes a fix that removes a delta on the Y2DC
when the baseline q index < 4 as this is no longer needed.
There is also a fix to try and prevent repeat single step Q adjustment in
the recode loop leading to lots of recodes, especially where the use
of forced skips as part of segmentation has made the impact of Q on
the number of bits generated much smaller.
Patch 2: Amend "last_boosted_qindex" calculation for arf overlay frames.

In certain hardware configuration, where mmx code is enabled and
other simd (sse2/sse3) disabled, lacking of this emms caused invalid
internal stats outputs.

Previously, the mode context is always udpated based on stats of current
frame, when there is no count, 50% is used for both left and right branch.
However, it is observed that with such strategy, a small count or no count
at all can skew the probability distribution significantly. This commmit
changed the mode_context update strategy to prevent small counts from
skewing the probability distributions.
Tests on derf set showed a small gain: .06% in psnr and .09% in ssim

This commit extends the number of Q steps to 256 from 128.
The q_trans[] array has been altered to distribute available Q index values
(using the current 64 steps available as input parameters) evenly across the
available range. This is coupled with the fact that each Q step where possible
now equates to a fixed % change in the quantizer. This may want refinement
later especially in terms of the granularity at the high quality end but is a
reasonable starting point.

High Q end extended a little.
Some clean up.
Slightly better on SSIM, Slightly worse on PSNR over derf set.
Change-Id: I3dceea8a39e11c26e1a389a40e40b86efc76d28c
Added code to support 256 index steps instead of 128 but disabled for now.
Replace hard wired table vp8cx_base_skip_false_prob[128]
Observed Qindex problem with setting minimum loop filter value.
(Experiment code using real Q in place but for now just returning 0. This has a big
beneficial effect on some clips, particularly waterfall which shows 5% ssim gain)

Whilst the encoder explicitly set the segment_id to 0
when segmentation is diabled, the decoder would allow
the segment_id to persist from the previous frame.
This fix attempts to make the decoder behave the same
as the encoder by explicitly setting the segment_id to
0 in this case.

mode_info_context is padded with an additional column of data, so
mode_info_stride should be used to move between rows rather than
mb_cols.
Change-Id: I598559a2cd9df1c486d64aaeccf76b76a7ecf21c
Both encoder & decoder were using mb_cols to
offset from one row of MODE_INFO structures to the next
when they should have been using mode_info_stride.
Fixing this in both encoder and decoder gives around
a 3KB size saving and 0.025dB PSNR improvement on the one
720P clip I tried.
(Also removed "index" which was being updated but not used)
Change-Id: I413bea802b142886bfcf8d8aa7f5a2f0c524fd4b
Removed a couple more fixed tables for the extended quantizer experiment
that depend on QINDEX_RANGE.

Previously, Y-adaptive UV intra coding only enabled on key frames in
UVINTRA experiment. This commit enabled the same coding for inter
frames, so the encoding of UV intra modes are consistent cross all
frame types. Tests on derf set showed a very small overall gain around
.04%:

The gain looks to be reasonable given inta coded MBs is only a
small portion of MBs in inter frames.
