If --enable-ext-partition is used at build time, the superblock size
(sometimes also referred to as coding unit (CU) size) is extended to
128x128 pixels.

If configured with --enable-ext-tile, the codec uses an alternative
tile coding syntax in the bitstream. Changes include::
- The maximum number of tile rows and columns is extended to 1024
each.
- The minimum tile width/height is 64 pixels (1 superblock).
- A tile copy mode is added where a tile directly reuse the coded
data of a previous tile
- The meaning of the tile-columns and tile-rows codec parameters are
overloaded to mean tile-width and tile-height in units of 64
pixels.
- All tiles should now be independent, including rows within the
same columns, so large scale parallel, or independent decoding is
possible.
- vpxdec also gained the options to decode only a particular tile,
tile row, or tile column.
Changes without --enable-ext-tile:
- All tiles should now be independent, including rows within the
same columns, so large scale parallel, or independent decoding is
possible.
- vpxenc default tile configuration changed to use 1 tile column.

This patch added two features to improve entropy coding efficiency
for coefficient tokens.
1. Choose 1 of 4 default probability tables based on q-index for
key-frames.
It is ported from nextgen branch:
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/280586/
2. Do backward update after each superblock (64X64) row using
subframe token counts.
Coding gain: 0.1% on lowres; 0.42% on midres; 0.36% on hdres.
Much larger gain for key-frames: 2.6%, 2.3%, 1.7%.

Using the up-sampled reference frames in sub-pixel motion search is

Make the RANS implementation operate on cumulative distribution
functions rather than individual probability distribution functions.
CDFs have shown themselves more flexible to work with.
Reduces decoding memory usage from scaling O(num_distributions *
symbol_resolution) to O(num_distributions).
No bitstream change. This is an purely implementation change.

Up-sampled the reference frames to 8 times in each dimension using
the 8-tap interpolation filter. In sub-pixel motion search, use the
up-sampled reference frames to find the best matching blocks. This
largely improved the motion search precision, and thus, improved
the compression quality. There was no change in decoder side.
Borg test and speed test results:
1. On derflr set,
Overall PSNR gain: 1.306%, and SSIM gain: 1.512%.
Average speed loss on derf set was 6.0%.
2. On stdhd set,
Overall PSNR gain: 0.754%, and SSIM gain: 0.814%.
On hevchd set,
Overall PSNR gain: 0.465%, and SSIM gain: 0.527%.
Speed loss on HD clips was 3.5%.

Includes various cosmetic changes and refactoring including
naming the sharp filters differently (since they are no longer

This commits adds a shift stage for FASTSSIM computaton when source

This commit unifies the motion vector cost buffers for full pixel
and sub-pixel motion search. The new motion vector coding system
provides 0.5% coding gains for 720p and above sequences and 0.2%
for lower resolution sets.

This makes all metric computation to locate at some place, also gets

Adds a wiener filter based restoration scheme in loop which can
be optionally selected instead of the bilateral filter.
The LMMSE filter generated per frame is a separable symmetric 7
tap filter. Three parameters for each of horizontal and vertical
filters are transmitted in the bitstream. The fourth parameter
is obtained assuming the sum is normalized to 1.
Also integerizes the bilateral filters, along with other
refactoring necessary in order to support the new switchable
restoration type framework.
derflr: -0.75% BDRATE
[A lot of videos still prefer bilateral, however since many frames
now use the simpler separable filter, the decoding speed is
much better].
Further experiments to follow, related to replacing the bilateral.

allocations done within this function are protected with
vpx_internal_error; adding the setjmp fixes a crash in

This commit adds the computation of fastSSIM for highbitdepth build,
it also modifies the hbdmetric test to be more generic and applicable
for fastSSIM.
The 255 used for calculating ssim constants c1 and c2 is not exactly
scaled by 4x and 16x to 1023 and 4095, therefore requries the metric
test to have a thresold more tolerant than 0, currently at 0.03dB.

The value of use_highbitdepth flag is used for compute the size for
high bit depth buffer allocation, which should take value 0 or 1
depending on if the buffer is used for high bit depth or not.
Previously, the values is set to 8 or 0, this commit fixes the issue
and properly set the value for this flag to 1 or 0.
This cuts the size of highbitdepth buffer memory allocation to 2/9 of
the size prior to the fix.

Current implementation is a bilateral filter whose
parameters are transmitted in the bitstream.

This is a prelimary patch. Various other variations are to
be investigated next, that will hopefully be less expensive
on the decoder side.

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.

For testing implemented a fixed pattern and delta, 1 pass,
