- The vp9 mbfilter C code will branch on flat and mask. This CL
will perform both branches and combine the data. A later CL will
perform a check to see if all patch will take one branch.
- These functions are about 1.75 times faster than the C code on

This probably has a mildly negative impact on performance, but will
(in future commits - or possibly merged with this one) allow SIMD
implementations of individual intra prediction functions. We may
perhaps want to consider having separate functions per txfm-size
also (i.e. 4x4, 8x8, 16x16 and 32x32 intra prediction functions for
each intra prediction mode), but I haven't played much with that
yet.

In the rare case were 4x4 interior filtering was called for but no
8x8 or larger filtering takes place, the previous code was skipping
the filtering. This patch fixes the issue by including the interior

(1) Refines the modeling function and uses that to add some speed
features. Specifically, intead of using a flag use_largest_txfm as
a speed feature, an enum tx_size_search_method is used, of which
two of the types are USE_FULL_RD and USE_LARGESTALL. Two other
new types are added:
USE_LARGESTINTRA (use largest only for intra)
USE_LARGESTINTRA_MODELINTER (use largest for intra, and model for
inter)
(2) Another change is that the framework for deciding transform type
is simplified to use a heuristic count based method rather than
an rd based method using txfm_cache. In practice the new method
is found to work just as well - with derf only -0.01 down.
The new method is more compatible with the new framework where
certain rd costs are based on full rd and certain others are
based on modeled rd or are not computed. In this patch the existing
rd based method is still kept for use in the USE_FULL_RD mode.
In the other modes, the count based method is used.
However the recommendation is to remove it eventually since the
benefit is limited, and will remove a lot of complications in
the code
(3) Finally a bug is fixed with the existing use_largest_txfm speed feature
that causes mismatches when the lossless mode and 4x4 WH transform is
forced.
Results on derf:
USE_FULL_RD: +0.03% (due to change in the tables), 0% encode time reduction
USE_LARGESTINTRA: -0.21%, 15% encode time reduction (this one is a
pretty good compromise)
USE_LARGESTINTRA_MODELINTER: -0.98%, 22% encode time reduction
(currently the benefit of modeling is limited for txfm size selection,
but keeping this enum as a placeholder) .
USE_LARGESTALL: -1.05%, 27% encode-time reduction (same as existing
use_largest_txfm speed feature).

This should significantly speedup cost_coeffs(). Basically what the
patch does is to make the neighbour arrays padded by one item to
prevent an eob check in get_coef_context(), then it populates each
col/row scan and left/top edge coefficient with two times the same
neighbour - this prevents a single/double context branch in
get_coef_context(). Lastly, it populates neighbour arrays in pixel
order (rather than scan order), so we don't have to dereference the
scantable to get the correct neighbours.

This commit replaces zrun_zbin_boost, a method of biasing non-zero
coefficients following runs of zero-coefficients to be rounded towards
zero, with an explicit skip-block choice in the RD loop.
The logic is basically that if individual coefficients should be rounded
towards zero (from a RD point of view), the trellis/optimize loop should
take care of it. If whole blocks should be zero (from a RD point of
view), a single RD check is much more efficient than a complete
serialization of the quantization loop.
Quality change: derf +0.5% psnr, +1.6% ssim; yt +0.6% psnr, +1.1% ssim.
SIMD for quantize will follow in a separate patch. Results for other

Makes first 50 frames of bus @ 1500kbps encode from 3min22.7 to 3min18.2,
i.e. 2.3% faster. In addition, use the sub_pixel_avg functions to calc
the variance of the averaging predictor. This is slightly suboptimal
because the function is subpixel-position-aware, but it will (at least
for the SSE2 version) not actually use a bilinear filter for a full-pixel
position, thus leading to approximately the same performance compared to
if we implemented an actual average-aware full-pixel variance function.
That gains another 0.3 seconds (i.e. encode time goes to 3min17.4), thus
leading to a total gain of 2.7%.

For cases where there's no transform set in bit 0 (the left edge of
the SB) but bit 0 of mask_4x4_int is set (the edge 4 pixels from the
left edge needs filtering), it was incorrectly being skipped before.
This situation only happens on the leftmost edge of the image, as
the edge at column 0 is intentionally skipped since there aren't
pixels to the left to read.

This version of the loop filter supports non-4:2:0 subsampling and
a fourth plane, as well as changing the filtering order to be more
friendly to hardware implementations.
The filters are applied first to all vertical edges within the
64x64 SB, followed by the top horizontal edge and any internal
horizontal edges. Since filtering is applied on each 4x4 edge
serially, a dependency is created from filtering one block edge
to the next. It would be possible to remove this depencnecy by
building all filtering decisions from the unfiltered
reconstruction data.

This patch changes the coefficient tree to move the EOB to below
the ZERO node in order to save number of bool decodes.
The advantages of moving EOB one step down as opposed to two steps down
in the other parallel patch are: 1. The coef modeling based on
the One-node becomes independent of the tree structure above it, and
2. Fewer conext/counter increases are needed.
The drawback is that the potential savings in bool decodes will be
less, but assuming that 0s are much more predominant than 1's the
potential savings is still likely to be substantial.

This commit removes the use of bmi_ in the first-pass encoding by

The changing in intra coding to base on transform block, i.e. pred->
txfm->quant->dequant-itxfm->recon, made all blocks within a prediction
unit behave consistently, there is no longer a need to handle blocks
differently based on the position within a predicitn block. So this

prediction mode only.

Uses more aggrerssive interpolation to reduce storage for the
model tables by almost more than half. Only 48 lists of probs are
stored (as opposed to 128 before), corresponding to ONE_NODE
probabilities of:
1,
3, 7, 11, ..., 115, 119,
127, 135, ..., 247, 255.
Besides, only 1 table is used as opposed to 2 before. So the overall
memory needed for the tables is just 48 * 8 = 384 bytes.
The table currently used is based on a new Pareto distribution with
heavier tail than a generalized Gaussian - which improves results on
derf by about 0.1% over a single table Generaized Gaussian.
Results overall on derfraw300 is -0.14%.

The recursive partition type search is enabled down to 4x4, 4x8 and
8x4, followed by the corresponding rate-distortion optimization for
the per-partition encoding mode decisions.
The bit-stream writing/reading synchronized in supporting the
rectangular partition of 8x8 block.
This provides above 1% coding performance gains on derf.
To do next:
1. re-design the rate-distortion loop for inter prediction below 8x8.
2. re-design the rate-distortion loop for intra prediction below 4x4.
3. make the loop-filter aware of rectangular partition of 8x8 block.
4. clean the unused probability models.
5. update default probability values.
Change-Id: Idd41a315b16879db08f045a322241f46f1d53f20
Replace vp9_kf_default_bmode_counts structure with
direct default probabilities. The probability structure is
smaller and it removes the need to specify in the bitstream
how to convert the counts to probabilities.
Note that I have concerns still about the size and value of
the large intra mode context. This may cause problems for
HW but it also means we rely heavily on reverse update as
forwards update of a structure this size is problematic. I
intend to review this more generally in the next few days to
see if we can come up with a competitive solution that does
not rely on such a large context.

This is a mostly-working implementation of an extra channel in the
bitstream. Configure with --enable-alpha to test. Notable TODOs:
- Add extra channel to all mismatch tests, PSNR, SSIM, etc
- Configurable subsampling
- Variable number of planes (currently always uses all 4)
- Loop filtering
- Per-plane lossless quantizer
- ARNR support
This implementation just uses the same contents as the Y channel
for the A channel, due to lack of content and general pain in
playing back 4 channel content. A later patch will use the actual
alpha channel passed in from outside the codec.

This patch creates a new inter mode contest that avoids
a dependence on the reconstructed motion vectors from
neighboring blocks. This was a change requested by
a hardware vendor to improve decode performance.
As part of this change I have also made some modifications
to stats output code (under a flag) to allow accumulation of
inter mode context flags over multiple clips
Some further changes will be required to accommodate the
deprecation of the split mv mode over the next few days.
Performance as stands is around -0.25% on derf and
std-hd but up on the YT and YT-HD sets. With further tuning
or some adjustment to the context criteria it should be
possible to make this change broadly neutral.

In current code, motion vectors got from single prediction mode are used
in compound prediction mode directly. These motion vectors may not give
accurate prediction since they are searched independently. In this patch,
we took Pascal's suggestion, and did joint motion search in compound
prediction mode to find better motion vectors in this situation.
Test results:
Overall PSNR: 0.570%(derf), 0.918%(stdhd);
SSIM: 0.572%(derf), 1.009%(stdhd);
The encoder is a little slower. This can be improved since some c
code is used in motion search.

The previous code was somewhat vestigial for 16x16 MI units, but was
incorrect when called with chroma blocks larger than 4x4 because the
block index caused a reference to a non-existent BMI. This patch uses
the same MV for all chroma subblocks in SPLITMV mode, which is
suboptimal for non-4:2:0 subsamplings, but as SPLITMV may be removed
in the near future, will use this as a stop gap.

The commmit changed to use same intra prediction function for all
block sizes.
Some details on the changes:
1. All directional modes except DC/TM/V/H now have built-in filtering
for all pixels with filter taps either (1, 2, 1)/4 or (1, 1)/2.
2. Above edge get automatic extended to double width (bw*2), which
makes a lot of the prediciton mode computation simpler.
3. Same intra prediction function is called with different size
for i4x4_pred and all other larger size.
Overall, the change helped keyframe only coding for both cif size
and std-hd size test sets by .5% consistently on all encodings.
For normal coding with single/auto key frame, the change now also
is consistently net positive for all encodings. The overall gains
is about .15% on std-hd set.
