Add feature to copy partition from the last frame.
The copy is only done under certain conditions that SAD is below threshold.
Feature is currently disabled, until threshold is tuned.
Feature will be initially used for Speed 8 (ARM).
Under extreme case of always copying partition for speed 8:
Encode time is reduced by 5.4% on rtc_derf and 7.8% on rtc.
Overall PSNR reduced by 2.1 on rtc_derf and 0.968 on rtc.

This patch modified the motion search counts used in:
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/305640/
These 2 counts were originally added as thread data, and used to
make decisions in motion search. The tile encoding order can be
inconsistent while using different number of threads, which can
cause bitstream mismatch. Here moved them to tile data to solve
the issue.

Re-use the tile worker threads to pack the bitstream in parallel
on a per-tile basis. Restricting this to real-time only for now
(further testing is needed to ensure this does not make 2-pass
worse in any case).

For 1 pass vbr real-time mode:
Allow for the usage of alt-ref frame when non-zero lag-in-frames is used.
Use non-filtered alt-ref, and select usage based on fast scene/content
analysis/detection within the lag of frames.
Positive gains on ytlive set: overall avgPSNR ~3-4%.
Several clips are up between 5-14%, a few clips are neutral/small change.
Current speed decrease is about ~5-10%.
Use the flag USE_ALTREF_FOR_ONE_PASS to enable this feature
(off by default for now).

Current commit is just an API template for the rest of the code, and
I will add inner logic later.
Altref frames generate a lot of bitrate and at the same time
other frames refer to them a lot, so it makes sense to apply
special compensation-based adaptive quantization scheme for altref
frames. E.g., for blocks that are good predictors for the future
apply rate-control chosen quantizer while for bad predictors apply
worse one.
Change-Id: Iba3f8ec349470673b7249f6a125f6859336a47c8
In the future this option will activate adaptive quantization special
for altref frames. Encoder will create the adaptive quantization map
on the basis of lookahead buffers similarity which is the estimate of
the future motion compensation performance.

For forced key frames in particular this helps to make them
blend better with the surrounding frames where noise tends
to be suppressed by a combination of quantization and alt
ref filtering.
Currently disabled by default under and IFDEF flag pending
wider testing.

For 1 pass cbr mode: allow for two-stage 1:2 scaling
(which will use the 1:2 optimized scaler) if the spatial
layer is 1/4x1/4 of souce.
Without this change, the base layer for 3 spatial layers would
be using the non-normative scaler which is un-optimized/C code.

An issue exists with reference_masking in non-rd pickmode for spatial
scaling. It was kept off for internal dynamic resizing and svc, this
change is to keep it off also for external dynamic resizing.
Update to external resize test, and update TODO to re-enable this
at frame level when references have same scale as source.

Different quality levels are used for different regions in
the frame depending on how far they are vertically from the
center. Specifically, three segments are used based on the
mi_row index with respect number to the number of mi_rows in
the frame.

This change alters the nature and use of exhaustive motion search.
Firstly any exhaustive search is preceded by a normal step search.
The exhaustive search is only carried out if the distortion resulting
from the step search is above a threshold value.
Secondly the simple +/- 64 exhaustive search is replaced by a
multi stage mesh based search where each stage has a range
and step/interval size. Subsequent stages use the best position from
the previous stage as the center of the search but use a reduced range
and interval size.
For example:
stage 1: Range +/- 64 interval 4
stage 2: Range +/- 32 interval 2
stage 3: Range +/- 15 interval 1
This process, especially when it follows on from a normal step
search, has shown itself to be almost as effective as a full range
exhaustive search with step 1 but greatly lowers the computational
complexity such that it can be used in some cases for speeds 0-2.
This patch also removes a double exhaustive search for sub 8x8 blocks
which also contained a bug (the two searches used different distortion
metrics).
For best quality in my test animation sequence this patch has almost
no impact on quality but improves encode speed by more than 5X.
Restricted use in good quality speeds 0-2 yields significant quality gains
on the animation test of 0.2 - 0.5 db with only a small impact on encode
speed. On most clips though the quality gain and speed impact are small.

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.

In the decoder, map this to the output variable vpx_image_t.r_w/h.
This is intended as an improved version of VP9D_GET_DISPLAY_SIZE,
which doesn't work with parallel frame decoding. In the encoder,
map this to a codec control func (VP9E_SET_RENDER_SIZE) that takes
a w/h pair argument in a int[2] (identical to VP9D_GET_DISPLAY_SIZE).
Also add render_size to the encoder_param_get_to_decoder unit test.
See issue 1030.

In decoder, export (eventually) into vpx_image_t.range field. In

The normative (convolve8) filter is optimized/faster than
the nonnormative one. Pass usage of scaler (normative/nonomorative)
to vp9_scale_if_required(), and always use normative one for 1 pass.
Change-Id: I2b71d9ff18b3c7499b058d1325a9554de993dd52
Switch to use the normative (convolve8) filter for source scaling,
only for 1/2x1/2 scaling for now. This is faster and has better
quality than either the vpx_scale_frame or the nonnormative scaler.
Remove the vp9_scale_if_required_fast, which is now not used.
Change-Id: I2f7d73950589d19baafb1fa650eac987d531bcc8
Adds two new vp9 parameters --min-gf-interval and --max-gf-interval
to enable testing based on frequency of alt-ref frames.
Also adds a unit-test to test enforcement of min-gf-interval.
For both these parameters the default value is 0, which indicates
they are picked by the encoder, based on resolution and framerate
considerations. If they are greater than zero, the specified
parameter is honored.
(Additional note by paulwilkins)
Note that there is a slight oddity in that key frames are also GFs and
considered part of GF only group. However they are treated as not
being part of an arf group because for arf groups the previous GF is
assumed to be the terminal or overlay frame for the previous group.

Decision to scale down/up is based on buffer state and average QP
over previous time window. Limit the total amount of down-scaling
to be at most one scale down for now.
Reset certain quantities after resize (buffer level, cyclic refresh,

If the frame size increases, the tile data buffer needs to be
re-allocated according to the number of tiles existing in current
frame. This patch makes the multi-tile encoding work in spatial
SVC usage case, and partially solved WebM issue 1018.
