This patch modifies the auto_mv_step_size speed feature to
use a combination of the maximum magnitude mv from the last
inter frame, and the maximum magnitude mv for the two reference
mvs with the same reference. For arf frames, the max mav step
for the resolution is used.
The bounds therefore are slightly tighter. The feature is made
a speed 1 feature.
Rebased.

Current partition checking starts from small sizes, and then goes up
to large sizes. This experiment uses the small partitions' motion
estimation result, which is already available, to speed up the
large partition's motion estimation. We can decide to skip some
patition checkings if they are unlikely choices. We could use the
motion vector(MV) result as current partition's prediction MV, limit
the search range and reference frame.
Current result at speed 1:
psnr loss: 1.19% for stdhd, 0.287% for derf.
speed gain: 14% for sunflower(hd), 11% for akiyo.
Further improvement will be done later.

This speed feature allows the encoder to largely remove the spatial
dependency between blocks inside a 64x64 superblock, thereby removing
the need to repeatedly encode superblocks per partition type in the
rate-distortion optimization loop.
A major challenge lies in the intra modes tested in the rate-distortion
optimization loop. The subsequent blocks do not have access to the
reconstructed boundary pixels without the intermediate coding steps.
This was resolved by using the original pixels for intra prediction
in the rd loop, followed by an appropriately designed distortion
modeling on the quantization parameters. Experiments also suggested
that the performance impact is more discernible at lower bit-rate/psnr
settings. Hence a quantizer dependent threshold is applied to deactivate
skip of block coding.
For bus_cif at 2000 kbps,
speed 0: runtime 269854ms -> 237774ms (12% speed-up) at 0.05dB

Adds a speed feature to eliminate full-rd computation if the modeled
rd or rd based on a different parameter in the same mode is already
a lot larger than the best rd yet.
Specifically, only search the sharp and smooth filters if the modeled
rd cost based on the regular filter is within a certain factor of the
best rd cost so far. Also, skip full-rd computation of non splitmv
inter modes if the modeled rd cost based on pred error is within the
same factor of the best rd cost so far.
Also adds some enhancements in the rd search for splitmv mode to
speed things up by early breakouts. Negligible impact on performance.
Resuts on derfraw300:
psnr: -0.013% with the splitmv enhancements, -0.24% with the rd
breakout feature on.
speedup: 6% with splitmv enhancements, 20% with also residual breakout
(tested on football sequence at 600 Kbps)

Skips mode searches for intra and compound inter modes depending
on the best mode so far and the reference frames. The various
heuristics to be used are selected by bits from a flag. The
previous direction based intra mode search pruning is also absorbed
in this framework.
Specifically the flags and their impact are:
1) FLAG_SKIP_INTRA_BESTINTER (skip intra mode search for oblique
directional modes and TM_PRED if the best so far is
an inter mode)
derfraw300: -0.15%, 10% speedup
2) FLAG_SKIP_INTRA_DIRMISMATCH (skip D27, D63, D117 and D153
mode search if the best so far is not one of the closest
hor/vert/diagonal directions.
derfraw300: -0.05%, about 9% speedup
3) FLAG_SKIP_COMP_BESTINTRA (skip compound prediction mode
search if the best so far is an intra mode)
derfraw300: -0.06%, about 7-8% speedup
4) FLAG_SKIP_COMP_REFMISMATCH (skip compound prediction search
if the best single ref inter mode does not have the same ref
as one of the two references being tested in the compound mode)
derfraw300: -0.56%, about 10% speedup

sf->unused_mode_skip_lvl. Tests modes as normal for all
sizes at or below the given level. At larger sizes it skips
all modes that were not chosen at any smaller size.
Hence setting BLOCK_SIZE_SB64X64 is in effect off.
Setting BLOCK_SIZE_AB4X4 will only consider modes that
were chosen for one or more 4x4 blocks at larger sizes.
sf->reference_masking.
Do a test encode of the NONE partition at one size and create
a reference frame mask based on the best rd choice. In the
full search only allow this reference frame.
Currently it is testing 64x64 and repeats this in the full search.
This does not work well with Jim's Partition code just now and
is disabled by default.

This speed feature will skip searching the directional intra prediction
modes D63, D117, D27, D153 if the best intra mode so far is not one of
the diagonal, horizontal or vertical directions closest to the respective

(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).

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%.

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.

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.

Make framebuffer allocations according to the chroma subsamping
factors in use. A bit is placed in the raw part of the frame header for
each of the two subsampling factors. This will be moved in a future
commit to make them part of the TBD feature set bits, probably only set
on keyframes, etc.

This allows removing a large number of transform size specific functions,
as well as supporting 444/alpha by routing all code through the
subsampling-aware path.

This minor tweak makes segment 0 neutral and used by
key frames and also extends beyond 4 segments.
Change-Id: Ife4744602aba66ac9432746db3113cc5cd88a482
Also some further simplification following removal
of top node code.
There is an issue in regards to the shared file vp8cx.h
in regard to the roi_map as this interface assumes that
there are only 4 segments. I have left the value here as
4 for now meaning that the roi_map interface is broken
for VP9.
Note that this change would have been easier if I hadn't
had to search for hard wire instances of the number 4
and <= 3.

Adds an experiment that codes an end-of-orientation symbol
for every eligible zero encountered in scan order.
This cleans out various other sub-experiments that were part
of the origiinal patch, which will be later included if found
useful.
Results are slightly positive on all sets (0.1 - 0.2% range).

Adjustments take heavier account of the frame near a kf
in deciding boost and limit the total number that can contribute.
Also adjusted the minq calculations such that in most cases we
generate a smaller key frame.
Modified the code that accounts for how static the sequence is and
added some adjustment based on image size. This is still very
crude but smaller images tend to behave better with a larger
delta between KF Q and other frames than larger image formats.
Changes give sizable gains in overall PSNR on all the test sets but the
biggest gains (~3%) were on the std-hd set.
The gains were smaller for SSIM but still significant.
Average PSNR results are mixed because this metric can very easily
be altered by having a very good / lossless coding of one or two frames.
Some of the YT and YT-HD clips in particular have blank lead ins and
allowing lossless coding of these appears to make a big difference to
average PSNR but it reality does not help much at all.

Enable recursive partition information coding from SB64X64 down to
MB16X16. The bit-stream syntax is now supporting rectangular block
sizes. It starts from SB64X64 and recursively describes the partition
type of the current block. If the partition type is PARTITION_NONE,
the block is coded as a single unit; if it is PARTITION_HORZ or
PARTITION_VERT, the block is segmented into two independently coded
rectangular units, with no further partition needed; otherwise, the
block is segmented into 4 square blocks. i.e., PARTITION_SPLIT case,
each can be potentially further partitioned.
Forward adaptive probability modeling is used for the partition
information coding, conditioned on the current block size.

This flag was added to VP8 to allow a mode where MB-level skipping
was not allowed, saving a bit per mb. It was never used in practice,
and hasn't been tested in VP9, so remove it.

This is work-in-progress, it implements multiple ARF
encoding behind an experimental flag.
It adds the ability to insert multiple ARF frames into a
single ARF group. This patch implements the reordering
of the coded frames, and implements a fixed-length coding
pattern. It applies a fixed quantizer strategy based on
where the frame is in the coding sequence.
Further work to modify the rate control strategy is
ongoing and will be submitted via a set of future patches.
In this first step, each ARF group is recursively
bisected and an ARF frame added at that position in the
sequence. The recursion continues until ARF frames are
within MIN_GF_INTERVAL frames.
The code sits behind the "multiple-arf" experimental
flag ("CONFIG_MULTIPLE_ARF"). The experimental flag
"oneshotq" ("CONFIG_ONESHOTQ") also needs to be enabled
for this patch to work correctly.
