Combinations of different mv modes for two reference frames
are allowed in compound inter modes. 9 options are enabled,
including NEAREST_NEARESTMV, NEAREST_NEARMV, NEAR_NEARESTMV,
NEAREST_NEWMV, NEW_NEARESTMV, NEAR_NEWMV, NEW_NEARMV, ZERO_ZEROMV,
and NEW_NEWMV.
This experiment is mostly deported from the nextgen branch.
It is made compatible with other experiments

This patch fixes a couple of issues caused by change-id:
I15d20ce5292b70f0c2b4ba55c1f1318181481596
Changes to the code for when the ext_tx experiment is not enabled
were merged from master but as var_tx does not exist on master
the changes had not been applied to the case when var_tx experiment
is enabled

Current implementation is a bilateral filter whose
parameters are transmitted in the bitstream.
derflr: -0.647% BDRATE
hevcmr: -0.794% BDRATE
This is a prelimary patch. Various other variations are to
be investigated next, that will hopefully be less expensive
on the decoder side.

NEW2MV is enabled, representing a new motion vector predicted from
NEARMV. It is mostly ported from nextgen, where it was named
NEW_INTER.
A few fixes are done for sub8x8 RDO to correct some misused
mv references in the original patch.
A 'bug-fix' for encoding complexity is done, reducing the additional
encoding time from 50% to 20%. In sub8x8 case, the old patch
did motion search for every interpolation filter (vp9 only
searches once). This fix also slightly improves the coding gain.
This experiment has been made compatible with REF_MV and EXT_REFS.
Coding gain (derflr/hevcmr/hevchd): 0.267%/0.542%/0.257%
Change-Id: I9a94c5f292e7454492a877f65072e8aedba087d4
The nominal tx_type for a given mode is used as a context
to encode the actual tx_type for intra.
Results:
derflr: -0.241% BDRATE
hevcmr: -0.366% BDRATE

It allows the codec to account for certain corner cases when
processing inter prediction mode entropy coding.
Change-Id: Ied451f4fff26ba579f6556554b8381ff2ccd0003
Various additional changes were made to make the experiment
compatible with misc_fixes.
derflr: +0.979%
hevcmr: +0.865%
Speed-wise with --enable-supertx the encoder is only about 10%
slower than without. Decoding impact is about 30% slowdown.
Note this does not work with ext-tx or var-tx yet. That is
a TODO.

Otherwise, per-segment lossless might mean that some segments are not
lossless and they could still want to use another mode. The per-block
tx points remain uncoded on blocks where (per the segment id) the Q
value implies lossless.
Change-Id: If210206ab1fe3dd11976797370c77f961f13dfa0
For the experiment of EXT_REFS, removed the previous special handling
on the new last 3 references, i.e. LAST2_FRAME, LAST3_FRAME, and
LAST4_FRAME, at the decoder, so that these new last references are
treated the same way as the other 3 references (LAST_FRAME,
GOLDEN_FRAME, and ALTREF_FRAME). Encoder changes have been made
accordingly to realize this flexibility.
Change-Id: Ic6546f9443b4377bb7e7b101bfa3e70a8b8d1c65
The culprit is on the decode side xd->lossless[i] setup was in wrong
location where segment features are not yet decoded.
Also on the encoder side, transform mode was not set consistently
between when tx_mode is selected and how tx_mode is enforced in
tx size selection.

This commit allows the codec to analyze the reference motion vector
candidate list and adaptively reduce the size of inter prediction
mode set.

This commit re-works the entropy coding scheme of the motion
compensated prediction modes. It allows more flexible hyperplane
partition for precise classification.
Change-Id: Iba5035c76691946cf1386b6c495e399c3d9c8fc5
Reduces the transform optons for INTRA as well as INTER when
transform size is 16x16 to not use any of the DSTs.
Thus, a total of 10 options are used for 16x16, while 4x4
and 8x8 still uses 17 options.
derflr/hevchd actually improves a little, while hevcmr drops
a little.
About 10% speed improvement.

Under the experiment of EXT_REFS: LAST2_FRAME, LAST3_FRAME, and
LAST4_FRAME.
Coding efficiency: derflr +1.601%; hevchr +1.895%
Speed: Encoder slowed down by ~75%
Change-Id: Ifeee5f049c2c1f7cb29bc897622ef88897082ecf
Remove MISC_FIXES flags except for the changes on MV precision, which
has a 0.1% performance drop.
On derflr, the impact is -0.012%.
Change-Id: I0a74e5a212dd0cb827192a318c92a714c9681e45
Adds a new interpolation experiment.
Improves entropy coding to send the filter type only if
the motion vectors have subpel components.
Adds one new 8-tap smooth filter, and tweaks the others.
derflr: +0.695%
hevcmr: +0.305%
About 5% encode slowdown. No visible impact for decoding.
Also makes the interpolation framework flexible to support both
strictly interpolating filters as well as non-interpolating
filters that filter integer offsets. This is mainly for
further experimentation and if not found useful the code will
be removed.

Currently there are two parts in this experiment: extra directional intra
prediction modes and the filter intra modes migrated from the nextgen branch.
Several macros are defined in "blockd.h" to provide controls of the experiment
settings. Setting "DR_ONLY" as 1 (default is 0) means we only use directional
modes, and skip the filter-intra modes; "EXT_INTRA_ANGLES" (default is 128)
defines the number of different angles we want to support; setting
"ANGLE_FAST_SEARCH" as 1 (default is 1) means we use fast sub-optimal search
for the best prediction angle, instead of exhaustive search. The fast search
is about 6 times faster than the exhaustive search, while preserving about
60% of the coding gains.
With extra directional prediction modes (fast search), we observe the following
code gains (number in parentheses is for all-key-frame setting):
derflr +0.42% (+1.79%)
hevclr +0.78% (+2.19%)
hevcmr +1.20% (+3.49%)
stdhd +0.56%
Speed-wise, about 110% slower for key frames, and 30% slower overall.
The gains of filter intra modes mostly add up with the gains of directional
modes. The overall coding gain of this experiment:
derflr +0.94%
hevclr +1.46%
hevcmr +1.94%
stdhd +1.58%

Correctly compute the block size in bit-stream coefficient token
packing. This fixes an enc/dec mismatch at very high bit-rates.

If a block has all coefficients quantized to zero, the codec will
assume that it uses largest transform block size.
Change-Id: Icd4e8e7cdc4b6af6974f87169e50b040ebfe9020
Allows inter and intra tx_types to have different sets of
transforms for different tx_size/sb_type combinations.

This commit makes the coefficient token packtization process account
for variable transform block sizes supported in a single processing
block. It fixes an enc/dec mismatch issue when var-tx, ext-tx, and
misc-fixes experiments are all turned on.
