Increase the recursive average factor from 15/16 to 3/4
to make the noise estimation respond faster.
Small/neglible change on low noise content, but better
denoising for noisy content.
Also encoder speedup of ~2-3% observed on some noisy clips.
Change-Id: I9dd02fe961ca24b411fe4c2732f814bf1e9a7f9f
Denoise 2 spatial layes at most.
Add noise sensitivity level 2 for vp9 such that applications can control
whether to denoise the second highest spatial layer.
Add tests to cover this case.
Change-Id: Ic327d14b29adeba3f0dae547629f43b98d22997f
This could save some cycles since skin detection is used in multiple
places in vp9.
1~2% speed up on ARM.

When the noise estimate is forced off due to large motion,
reset the counter and set smaller window for next estimate.
Change-Id: Ifa4ec95396134173a00d48353ad52f1b6a40c217
Adjust thresholds for noise estimation, for resolutions above VGA.
Tends to push cleaner/low noise clips to LowLow state.
No change in RTC metrics.
Change-Id: I739ca6b797d0a60ccd1c6c6a2775269b1f007e5e
Set noise level to kLowLow for high motion low res clips.
Change the normalization in noise metric for low res.
Reduce the initial time-window for all resolutions.
Change-Id: Iaed39dbb50b205cd9c735dc5b84822304fb01987
If the noise estimation is avoided due to large motion,
the last_source for denoising should still be updated.
Change-Id: I67155ea7dbe9ac2785978e64a27bdafd7d57aac0
Fix the update of the denoiser buffer when the base
spatial layer is a key frame. And allow for better/lower
QP on high spatial layers when their base layer is key frame.
Change-Id: I96b2426f1eaa43b8b8d4c31a68b0c6d68c3024a2
If enabled denoiser will only denoise the top spatial layer for now.
Added unittest for SVC with denoising.

* changes:
vp9_frame_scale_ssse3.c: make 2 functions static
vp9_pickmode.c: make function static
vp9_noise_estimate.c: make function static
vp9_aq_360.c: add missing include
vp9_idct_intrin_sse2: add missing vp9_rtcd.h include
vpx_dsp/*.[hc]: add missing vpx_dsp_rtcd.h include
Makes the noise estimation react little faster.
Little/no change in metrics.
Change only affects 1 pass cbr.
Change-Id: I13f0daa90ecbf9d49eb1cf2e48febd9d92292940
Fix will reset the consec_zero_mv map on non-skipped blocks with non-zero mv.
Adjust thresholds on consec_zero_mv in noise estimation and skin detection,
as more possible reset on map means lower thresholds should be used.
Change-Id: Ibe8520057472b3609585260b51b6f95a38fb777d
So it can be used even with aq-mode=3 not enabled.
Also cleans up some code in the places where its used.
No change in behavior.
Change-Id: Ib6b265308dbd483f691200da9a0be4da4b380dbc
This make it more likely clean/low-noise content will
be set as LowLow, and hence no denoising will be done.
Also set early exit on denoising for small blocks.
Change-Id: I4a72bba3e6c5e2d523d304c39deacc9c39bf216c
Put check to avoid possible out of bounds when looping
over the blocks to estimate noise level.
No change in behavior.
Change-Id: I4b7b19b7edee0ae1c35b9dc0700b1bf9b304d7f5
Add function to compute skin map for a given block, as its
used in several places (cyclic refresh, noise estimation, and denoising).
Change-Id: Ied622908df43b6927f7fafc6c019d1867f2a24eb
This is so we may update level at any time (e.g., to be used
for setting thresholds in variance-based partition).
Change-Id: I32caad2271b8e03017a531f9ea456a6dbb9d49c7
Change initial state of noise level, and only update
denoiser with noise level when estimate is done.
Change-Id: If44090d29949d3e4927e855d88241634cdb395dc
Add threshold/condition on spatial_variance and brightness level.
Modification to normalization of block variance.
Change resolution limit below which we disable noise estimation.
Change-Id: If5be08a26ceda351242d8a58d2f0bc88c0a918f0
Source noise level estimate is also useful for
setting variance encoder parameters (variance thresholds,
qp-delta, mode selection, etc), so allow it to be used also
if denoising is not on.
