This change is a step in a larger change to the way boost and interval are
determined for ARF and Key frames.
This patch contains some pluming for the general case but focuses on the
key frame boost calculation. This now relies more heavily on the rate at
which the error score increases between the primary and secondary reference
frame. This seems to be less fragile when dealing with different frame sizes.
For example larger image formats tend in the first pass to see a higher
% of intra coded blocks and the use of this number in calculating the frame
decay factor was leading to much lower boost numbers for 4K, for example,
than the same clip coded at 2K.
This change does give overall gains but they are MUCH larger for the 4K Netflix
set. For the 4K Netflix set the average gain is around 3% with some clips > 20%
whereas for the same set at 2K the average gain is 0.5-1%.
In general for small image formats the boost is most often reduced a little whereas
4K clips the boost is increased. There are some -ve cases such as Akiyo at 352x288
where the reduced boost hurts the metrics, especially for SSIM, even while
the set as a whole improves. This is most notable at very low Q and may be the
subject of a future patch.
Some common code for KF and ARF was separated in this patch for the purposes of
tuning but may later be re-merged if appropriate.

Added casts to remove warnings:
BUG=webm:1274
In regards to the safety of these casts they are of two types:-
- Normalized bits per (16x16) MB stored in a 32 bit int (This is safe as bits
per MB even with << 9 normalization cant overflow 32 bits. Even raw 12
bits hdr source even would only be 29 bits :- (4+4+12+9) and the encoder
imposes much stricter limits than this on max bit rate.
- Cast as part of variance calculations. There is an internal cast up to 64 bit
for the Sum X Sum calculation, but after normalization dividing by the number
of points the result will always be <= the SSE value.

This patch has been tuned so that in local testing using the

Average quality result for speed 2 (psnr,ssim) were as follows:-
lowres 0.039, 0.453

good enough speed quality trade off for speed 2. Though the

it is > 5% rise. For speed 1 this is less an issue and for Speed 0
the previous patch actually improves speed.

Current commit is just an API template for the rest of the code, and
I will add inner logic later.
Altref frames generate a lot of bitrate and at the same time
other frames refer to them a lot, so it makes sense to apply
special compensation-based adaptive quantization scheme for altref
frames. E.g., for blocks that are good predictors for the future
apply rate-control chosen quantizer while for bad predictors apply
worse one.

Previously Tx domain rd was used in all cases above speed 0.
Coefficient optimization was only enabled for best and speed 0.
This patch selectively sets these features at other speed settings
based on block complexity.
For the Netflix and HD sets in particular the quality gains are
large compared to the speed hit. At speed 1 the average psnr
gain in the NF set is > 2.5% with one clip coming in at 18%
and some points almost 30%. Average gains for the lower
resolution test sets are around 1%.
The gains are biggest at low Q so some further optimization
may be possible.

In the future this option will activate adaptive quantization special
for altref frames. Encoder will create the adaptive quantization map
on the basis of lookahead buffers similarity which is the estimate of
the future motion compensation performance.

Bias towards base_mv and skip 1/4 pixel motion search when using base mv.

Add option, for newmv-last, to limit the rd-threshold update for early exit,
under a source varianace condition.
This can improve visual quality in low texture moving areas,
like forehead/faces.
Also add bias against golden to improve the speed/fps,
will little/negligible loss in quality.
Only affects CBR mode, non-svc, non-screen-content.

Changes the default recode rule for Speed 0 and best quality
from ALLOW_RECODE to ALLOW_RECODE_KFARFGF.
Tested on the NF, hdres, midres and lowres test sets, this setting
when combined with patch I40cb559... now performs "as well" in
metrics terms (in fact it came out a tiny amount better overall)
but encode time is 9.6% faster (measured as the average
from 27 mid rate local encodes on clips in the derf/lowres set.
Change-Id: I8c781c0cdfa3a9929cd9406d15582fce47d6ae3b
Allow recodes for the first inter frame in each arf group
even when the recode rule is set to ALLOW_RECODE_KFARFGF.
Small gains of 0.05%.

This patch fixed a motion vector out of range bug:
vpxenc: ../libvpx/vp9/encoder/vp9_mcomp.c:69:
mv_cost: Assertion `mv->col >= -((1 << (11 + 1 + 2)) - 1) &&
mv->col < ((1 << (11 + 1 + 2)) - 1)' failed.
For blocks that returned without having full-pixel search, the original
MV limits were not restored, which caused the failure. Moved the set
MV limit function down to fix the bug.

This patch fixed a motion vector(MV) out of range bug, which was caused
by not restoring the original values of the MV min/max thresholds after
the sub8x8 full pixel motion search. It occurred rarely and only was seen
while encoding a 4k clip for 200 frames.

This commit changes the call in vp9 encoder from vp9_deblock() to
vp9_post_proc_frame() to ensure the data structures used in the call
are properly allocated. This fixes an encoder crash when configured

Allow usage of lookahead for VBR in real-time mode, for 1 pass vbr.
Current usage is for fast checking of future scene cuts/changes,
and adjusting rate control (gf interval and active_worst/target size).
Added unittests (datarate) for 1 pass vbr mode, with non-zero lag.
Added an experimental option to limit QP based on lookahead.
Overall positive gain in metrics on ytlive set:
avgPNSR/SSIM up on average ~1-3%; several clips up by 5, 7%.
Change-Id: I960d57dfc89de121c4824b9a9bf88d2814e74b56
This change eliminates redundant computation in the two stage
downscaling, which saves ~1% encoding time in 3-layer svc encoding.

Move the operations that update the context buffers outside this
function. The coeff_cost() takes all input as const value and returns
the coefficient cost.
This makes preparation for the next coefficient optimization CLs.

For real time CBR mode, use model_rd_for_sb_y for 32x32 if the sb is

The transform block row and column positions are always available
outside the callees. There is no need to re-compute these values

The scaling of the threshold for 10 and 12 bit here appears
to be in the wrong direction. For 10 and 12 bit we expect sse
values to be higher and hence the threshold used should be
scaled up not down.

This function seems to scale the threshold for testing an
SSE value in the wrong direction for 10 and 12 bit inputs.
Also for a true SSE the scalings should probably be << 4 and 8

For real time CBR mode, use model_rd_for_sb_y for 32x32 if the mode is
newmv last, which is less aggressive in skipping transform and
quantization, to avoid quality regression in some conditions.

For forced key frames in particular this helps to make them
blend better with the surrounding frames where noise tends

ref filtering.
Currently disabled by default under and IFDEF flag pending

For real-time mode, increase variance threshold for 32x32 blocks in
var-based partitioning for resolution >= 720p, so that it is more
likely to stay at 32x32 for high resolution which accelerates the
encoding speed with little/no PSNR drop.
PSNR effect on different speed settings:
speed 8 rtc: 0.02 overall PSNR drop, 0.285% SSIM drop
speed 7 rtc: 0.196% overall PSNR increase, 0.066% SSIM increase
speed 5 rtc_derf: no effect.
Speed up:
gips_motion_WHD, 1mbps: 2.5% faster on speed 7, 2.6% faster on speed8

For real-time CBR mode, use model_rd_for_sb_y_large instead of
model_rd_for_sb_y for 32x32 block. In the former model, transform
might be skipped more aggressively in some condtions, which speeds
up encoding time with only a little PSNR/SSIM drop on rtc test set.
No obvious visual quality regression.
PSNR effect on different speed settings:
speed 8 rtc: 0.129% overall PSNR drop, 0.137% SSIM drop
speed 7 rtc: 0.135% overall PSNR drop, 0.062% SSIM drop
