cd907b1601 16x16 butterfly inverse ADST/DCT hybrid transform
rebased.

This patch includes 16x16 butterfly inverse ADST/DCT hybrid
transform. It uses the variant ADST of kernel
    sin((2k+1)*(2n+1)/4N),
which allows a butterfly implementation.

The coding gains as compared to DCT 16x16 are about 0.1% for
both derf and std-hd. It is noteworthy that for std-hd sets
many sequences gains about 0.5%, some 0.2%. There are also few
points that provides -1% to -3% performance. Hence the average
goes to about 0.1%.

57e995ff9c butterfly inverse 4x4 ADST
fixed format issues.

Implement the inverse 4x4 ADST using 9 multiplications. For this
particular dimension, the original ADST transform can be
factorized into simpler operations, hence is retained.

d15e1da494 Butterfly ADST based hybrid transform
Refactor the 8x8 inverse hybrid transform. It is now consistent
with the new inverse DCT. Overall performance loss (due to the
use of this variant ADST, and the rounding errors in the butterfly
implementation) for std-hd is -0.02.

Fixed BUILD warning.

Devise a variant of the original ADST, which allows butterfly
computation structure. This new transform has kernel of the
form: sin((2k+1)*(2n+1) / (4N)). One of its butterfly structures
using floating-point multiplications was reported in Z. Wang,
"Fast algorithms for the discrete W transform and for the discrete
Fourier transform", IEEE Trans. on ASSP, 1984.

This patch includes the butterfly implementation of the inverse
ADST/DCT hybrid transform of dimension 8x8.

7d6b5425d7 New prediction filter
This patch removes the old pred-filter experiment and replaces it
with one that is implemented using the switchable filter framework.

If the pred-filter experiment is enabled, three interopolation
filters are tested during mode selection; the standard 8-tap
interpolation filter, a sharp 8-tap filter and a (new) 8-tap
smoothing filter.

The 6-tap filter code has been preserved for now and if the
enable-6tap experiment is enabled (in addition to the pred-filter
experiment) the original 6-tap filter replaces the new 8-tap smooth
filter in the switchable mode.

The new experiment applies the prediction filter in cases of a
fractional-pel motion vector. Future patches will apply the filter
where the mv is pel-aligned and also to intra predicted blocks.

This is to add to the 64x64 transform experiment as an alternative to
a 64x64 DCT.
Two levels of wavelet decomposition is used on a 64x64 block, followed
by 16x16 DCT on the four lowest subbands. The highest three subbands
are left untransformed after the first level DWT.

08f0c7cc9c New previous coef context experiment
Adds an experiment to derive the previous context of a coefficient
not just from the previous coefficient in the scan order but from a
combination of several neighboring coefficients previously encountered
in scan order.  A precomputed table of neighbors for each location
for each scan type and block size is used. Currently 5 neighbors are
used.

Results are about 0.2% positive using a strategy where the max coef
magnitude from the 5 neigbors is used to derive the context.

ab480cede5 experiment with CONTEXT conversion
This commit changed the ENTROPY_CONTEXT conversion between MBs that
have different transform sizes.

In additioin, this commit also did a number of cleanup/bug fix:
1. removed duplicate function vp9_fix_contexts() and changed to use
vp8_reset_mb_token_contexts() for both encoder and decoder
2. fixed a bug in stuff_mb_16x16 where wrong context was used for
the UV.
3. changed reset all context to 0 if a MB is skipped to simplify the
logic.

c456b35fdf 32x32 transform for superblocks.
This adds Debargha's DCT/DWT hybrid and a regular 32x32 DCT, and adds
code all over the place to wrap that in the bitstream/encoder/decoder/RD.

Some implementation notes (these probably need careful review):
- token range is extended by 1 bit, since the value range out of this
  transform is [-16384,16383].
- the coefficients coming out of the FDCT are manually scaled back by
  1 bit, or else they won't fit in int16_t (they are 17 bits). Because
  of this, the RD error scoring does not right-shift the MSE score by
  two (unlike for 4x4/8x8/16x16).
- to compensate for this loss in precision, the quantizer is halved
  also. This is currently a little hacky.
- FDCT and IDCT is double-only right now. Needs a fixed-point impl.
- There are no default probabilities for the 32x32 transform yet; I'm
  simply using the 16x16 luma ones. A future commit will add newly
  generated probabilities for all transforms.
- No ADST version. I don't think we'll add one for this level; if an
  ADST is desired, transform-size selection can scale back to 16x16
  or lower, and use an ADST at that level.

Additional notes specific to Debargha's DWT/DCT hybrid:
- coefficient scale is different for the top/left 16x16 (DCT-over-DWT)
  block than for the rest (DWT pixel differences) of the block. Therefore,
  RD error scoring isn't easily scalable between coefficient and pixel
  domain. Thus, unfortunately, we need to compute the RD distortion in
  the pixel domain until we figure out how to scale these appropriately.

0c917fc975 Compound inter-intra experiment
A patch on compound inter-intra prediction.

In compound inter-intra prediction, a new predictor for
16x16 inter coded MBs are obtained by combining a single
inter predictor with a 16x16 intra predictor, in a manner
that the weight varies with distance from the top/left
boundary. The current search strategy is to combine the best
inter mode with the best intra mode obtained independently.

Results so far:

derf +0.31%
yt +0.32%
std-hd +0.35%
hd +0.42%

It is conceivable that the results would improve somewhat
with a more thorough search strategy where all intra modes
are searched given the best mv, or even a joint search for
the best mv and the best intra mode.

d01357bbad New b-intra mode where direction is contextual
Preliminary patch on a new 4x4 intra mode B_CONTEXT_PRED where the
dominant direction from the context is used to encode. Various decoder
changes are needed to support decoding of B_CONTEXT_PRED in conjunction
with hybrid transforms since the scan order and tokenization depends on
the actual direction of prediction obtained from the context. Currently
the traditional directional modes are used in conjunction with the
B_CONTEXT_PRED, which also seems to provide the best results.

The gains are small - in the 0.1% range.

7b8dfcb5a2 Rough merge of master into experimental
Creates a merge between the master and experimental branches. Fixes a
number of conflicts in the build system to allow *either* VP8 or VP9
to be built. Specifically either:

  $ configure --disable-vp9 $ configure --disable-vp8
  --disable-unit-tests

VP9 still exports its symbols and files as VP8, so that will be
resolved in the next commit.

Unit tests are broken in VP9, but this isn't a new issue. They are
fixed upstream on origin/experimental as of this writing, but rebasing
this merge proved difficult, so will tackle that in a second merge
commit.

00f9eb6590 New motion vector entropy coding
Adds a new experiment with redesigned/refactored motion vector entropy
coding. The patch also takes a first step towards separating the
integer and fractional pel components of a MV. However the fractional
pel encoding still depends on the integer pel part and so they are
not fully independent. Further experiments are in progress to see
how much they can be decoupled without affecting performance.
All components including entropy coding/decoding, costing for MV
search, forward updates and backward updates to probability tables,
have been implemented.

de6dfa6bb0 hybrid transform of 16x16 dimension
Enable ADST/DCT of dimension 16x16 for I16X16 modes. This change provides
benefits mostly for hd sequences.

Set up the framework for selectable transform dimension.

Also allowing quantization parameter threshold to control the use
of hybrid transform (This is currently disabled by setting threshold
always above the quantization parameter. Adaptive thresholding can
be built upon this, which will further improve the coding performance.)

The coding performance gains (with respect to the codec that has all
other configuration settings turned on) are

derf:   0.013
yt:     0.086
hd:     0.198

2d60bee1fb New Motion Reference Search
Alternative strategy for finding a list of candidate motion
vectors to use as reference values in mv coding and as
nearest and near.

Sort by sad in vp8_find_best_ref_mvs() rather than just
pick the best. Allow 0,0 as a best ref option but not a
nearest or near unless there are no alternatives.

Encode/Decode verified on at least some clips.

Some commented out experimental and stats code still in place.

Gain over existing code averages about 1% on derf (alll metrics)
with improvement on all clips. Other test results pending.

The entropy coding of the mode (nearest/near etc) still
depends upon and requires the old "findnear" code so
this needs looking at and may provide room for further gains.

If you build with --enabled-shared on a Linux arch not explicitly
listed, the configure script will abort because it didn't detect
"linux" in the fallback generic-gnu tuple.

Since this is the fallback tuple and people are passing
--enable-shared, assume the user knows what they're in for.

fcbff9ee04 Replacing the 8x8 DCT with 8x8 ADST/DCT for I8x8
Fixed the code review comments.

Under the htrans8x8 experiment the 8X8 DCT in the
I8X8 mode is replaced with a combination of 8X8 ADST and
DCT.

Overall coding gains with the htrans8x8 experiment are:
derf:   0.486
std-hd: 1.040
hd:     1.063
yt:     0.506

Note that part of the gain comes from bigger transforms
(8x8 instead of 4x4) and part comes from replacing the DCT
wth the ADST.

5259744145 Adds support for switchable interpolation filters.
Allows for swtiching/setting interpolation filters at the MB
level. A frame level flag indicates whether to use a specifc
filter for the entire frame or to signal the interpolation
filter for each MB. When switchable filters are used, the
encoder chooses between 8-tap and 8-tap sharp filters. The
code currently has options to explore other variations as well,
which will be cleaned up subsequently.

One issue with the framework is that encoding is slow. I
tried to do some tricks to speed things up but it is still slow.
Decoding speed should not be affected since the number of
filter taps remain unchanged.

With the current version, we are up 0.5% on derf on average but
some videos city/mobile improve by close to 4 and 2% respectively.
If we did a full-search by turning the SEARCH_BEST_FILTER flag
on, the results are somewhat better.

The framework can be combined with filtered prediction, and I
seek feedback regarding that.

Rebased.

e44ee38aef Add lossless compression mode.
This commit adds lossless compression capability to the experimental
branch. The lossless experiment can be enabled using --enable-lossless
in configure. When the experiment is enabled, the encoder will use
lossless compression mode by command line option --lossless, and the
decoder automatically recognizes a losslessly encoded clip and decodes
accordingly.

To achieve the lossless coding, this commit has changed the following:
    1. To encode at lossless mode, encoder forces the use of unit
quantizer, i.e, Q 0, where effective quantization is 1. Encoder also
disables the usage of 8x8 transform and allows only 4x4 transform;
    2. At Q 0, the first order 4x4  DCT/IDCT have been switched over
to a pair of forward and inverse Walsh-Hadamard Transform
(http://goo.gl/EIsfy),  with proper scaling applied to match the range
of the original 4x4 DCT/IDCT pair;
    3. At Q 0, the second order remains to use the previous
walsh-hadamard transform pair. However, to maintain the reversibility
in second order transform at Q 0, scaling down is applied to first
order DC coefficients prior to forward transform, and scaling up is
applied to the second order output prior to quantization. Symmetric
upscaling and downscaling are added around inverse second order
transform;
    4. At lossless mode, encoder also disables a number of minor
features to ensure no loss is introduced, these features includes:
        a. Trellis quantization optimization
        b. Loop filtering
        c. Aggressive zero-binning, rounding and zero-bin boosting
        d. Mode based zero-bin boosting

Lossless coding test was performed on all clips within the derf set,
to verify that the commit has achieved lossless compression for all
clips. The average compression ratio is around 2.57 to 1.

1fe85a35e0 Adaptive entropy coding of coefficients, modes, mv.
This patch incorporates adaptive entropy coding of coefficient tokens,
and mode/mv information based on distributions encountered in a frame.
Specifically, there is an initial forward update to the probabilities
in the bitstream as before for coding the symbols in the frame, however
at the end of decoding each frame, the forward update to the
probabilities is reverted and instead the probabilities are updated
towards the actual distributions encountered within the frame.
The amount of update is weighted by the number of hits within each
context.

Results on derf/hd/std-hd are all up by 1.6%.

On derf, the most of the gains come from coefficients, however for the
hd and std-hd sets, the most of the gains come from the mode/mv
information updates.

The commit added an integer version of 8x8 forward DCT, based on the
orginal forward DCT from VP6. The constants, roundings, and shifts
were adjusted to improve the accuracy. The latest patch has a very

It should be noted here that the purpose of the patch is to help

9daf3154db Superblock encoding order
This is the first patch to add superblock (32x32) coding
order capabilities. It does not yet do any mode selection
at the SB level, that will follow in a further patch.

This patch encodes rows of SBs rather than
MBs, each SB contains 2x2 MBs.

Two intra prediction modes have been disabled since they
require reconstructed data for the above-right MB which
may not have been encoded yet (e.g. for the bottom right
MB in each SB).

Results on the one test clip I have tried (720p GIPS clip)
suggest that it is somewhere around 0.2dB worse than the
baseline version, so there may be bugs.

It has been tested with no experiments enabled and with
the following 3 experiments enabled:
  --enable-enhanced_interp
  --enable-high_precision_mv
  --enable-sixteenth_subpel_uv
in each case the decode buffer matches the recon buffer
(using "cmp" to compare the dumped/decoded frames).
Note: Testing these experiments individually created
errors.

Some problems were found with other experiments but it
is unclear what state these experiments are in:
  --enable-comp_intra_pred
  --enable-newentropy
  --enable-uvintra

This code has not been extensively tested yet, so there
is every likelihood that further bugs remain. I also
intend to do some code cleanup & refactoring in tandem
with the next patch that adds the 32x32 modes.

52cf4dcaea Packing bitstream on-the-fly with delayed context updates
Produce the token partitions on-the-fly, while processing each MB.
Context is updated at the beginning of each frame based on the
previoud frame's counters. Optimally encoder outputs partitions in
separate buffers. For frame based output, partitions are concatenated
internally.

Limitations:
    - enabled just in combination with realtime-only mode
    - number of encoding threads has to be equal or less than the
    number of token partitions. For this reason, by default the encoder
    will do 8 token partitions.
    - vpxenc supports partition output (-P) just in combination with
    IVF output format (--ivf)

Performance:
    - Realtime encoder can be up to 13% faster (ARM) depending on the number
    of threads and bitrate settings. Constant gain over the 5-16 speed
    range.
    - Token buffer reduced from one frame to 8 MBs

Quality:
    - quality is affected by the delayed context updates. This again
    dependents on input material, speed and bitrate settings. For VC
    style input the loss seen is up to 0.2dB. If error-resilient=2
    mode is used than the effect of this change is negligible.

Example:
./configure --enable-realtime-only --enable-onthefly-bitpacking
./vpxenc --rt --end-usage=1 --fps=30000/1000 -w 640 -h 480
--target-bitrate=1000 --token-parts=3 --static-thresh=2000

motion. Currently if we configure with enable-high-precision-mv,
all motion vectors would default to 1/8 pel. Encode and
decode syncs fine with the current code. In the next phase
the code will be refactored so that we can choose the 1/8
pel mode adaptively at a frame/segment/mb level.

Derf results:

(about 0.83% better than 8-tap interpoaltion)

Patch 3: Rebased. Also adding 1/16th pel interpolation for U and V

Patch 4: HD results.

Seems impressive (unless I am doing something wrong).

Patch 5: Added mmx/sse for bilateral filtering, as well as enforced
use of c-versions of subpel filters with 8-taps and 1/16th pel;
Also redesigned the 8-tap filters to reduce the cut-off in order to
introduce a denoising effect. There is a new configure option
sixteenth-subpel-uv which will use 1/16 th pel interpolation for
uv, if the motion vectors have 1/8 pel accuracy.

With the fixes the results are promising on the derf set. The enhanced
interpolation option with 8-taps alone gives 3% improvement over thei
derf set:

Results on high precision mv and on the hd set are to follow.

Patch 6: Adding a missing condition for CONFIG_SIXTEENTH_SUBPEL_UV in
vp8/common/x86/x86_systemdependent.c

Patch 7: Cleaning up various debug messages.

Patch 8: Merge conflict

d327dcf3aa moved segment based LPF level selection under CONFIG_FEATUREUPDATES
This commit moved segment based loop filter level selection into
the experiment of CONFIG_FEATUREUPDATES. As previous commit noted,
the segment based loop filter selection helps the compression by
~0.1% on cif set, the ongoing experiment CONFIG_FEATUREUPDATES
made encoding updates of the segment based LPF level more efficient,
hence, another .04% gain on cif set. The commit also fixed an issue
previously where encoder/decoder may use different loop filter level
for one of the segments.
