This fixes issue 667.
In the case where the frame was an odd number of pixels
wide or high, the border was being extended by one col
or row too far.
The calculation of color plane dimensions was modified
to use those already computed at the time the frame
buffer was allocated.
Also freed the temporary scaling buffer in vpxdec to
prevent a memory leak.

Separate the rounding and right shift operations of forward transform
from those of inverse transform. Take out the assertion check from

cause intermediate steps of inverse transform overflow, the codec will
just let it overflow without breaking the decoding flow.

This patch fixed issue 661: "Decoder produces mismatched outputs

value was multiplied by a filter coefficient, and the results
were added up. The order of adding up these multiplications had to
be arranged carefully to prevent incorrect overflowing.

This patch continued the work done in "Rewrite loop_filter_info_n
struct"(commit:00dbd369c70270428d56da6d15ea5486fc821c52) to further
improve loopfilter function.
1. Instead of storing pointers to thresholds, store loopfilter
levels within 64x64 SB;
2. Since loopfilter levels are already calculated in setup_mask,
we don't need call build_lfi to look up them again. Just save
loopfilter levels in setup_mask.
3. Reorganized and simplified filter_block_plane().
Tests showed a ~0.8% decoder speedup.

on first pass stats to each kf group, gf group and individual
frame but does not correct the bits left and allocation after
each frame.
In other words it recommends a bit allocation for each frame
but does not try and correct any over or under spend on a
frame over the remainder of the clip. This reduces the accuracy
of rate control in terms of hitting an average bitrate but prevents
problems that may arise because early frames either use to many
or too few bits. This mode is currently more inclined to undershoot
than overshoot (particularly at higher data rates).
Also minor changes to rate of adaption when recode loop is not
enabled.
This mode is currently enabled by default for VBR.
It gives the following % performance gains.
derf +0.467, +1.072

This commit makes the buffer allocation of zcoeff_blk array in
pick_mode_context block size aware. It calculates the number of
4x4 blocks in the partition and assigns the memory space accordingly.
This process (and the uninitialization) is done once for each encoding
pass. It allows memory copy of smaller buffer when possible.

When the codec in VBR (or cq) mode hits its max q limits and is
struggling to hit a target bandwidth, the bit target per frame collapses.
In the first instance normal frames cap out at the maximum allowed
Q and then the ARF and GFs do the same. This latter behavior is not
generally desirable as GFs and ARFs are only effective from a quality
and data rate perspective if they have at lease some level of -Q delta
compared to the surrounding frames.
In this patch I define a separate max Q for GFs and ARFs that is
derived from but somewhat lower than that defined for normal frames.
In effect there is a minimum Q delta that will always be available for
GFs and ARFs regardless of the target rate and MAXQ setting.
This may of course mean that the absolute lowest rate obtainable for
a given clip is somewhat higher.

Substantial reworking of the speed vs quality trade offs for
speed 1 and 2.
In this patch I am attempting to freeze the "quality" meaning of
speeds 1 and 2 relative to speed 0 so that in future we can
better evaluate progress.
I am targeting :
Speed 1 quality ~-5% vs speed 0.
Speed 2 quality ~-10% vs speed 0
It is inevitable that quality will still fluctuate a little as we adjust
settings and add new features, but we will attempt to keep as
close as possible to these values. Above speed 2 things will remain
a bit more fluid for now.
In this patch speed 1 is approximately 4-5x as fast as speed 0. This
is similar to before but the quality hit is a lot less. Likewise speed 2
is approximately 2x as fast as speed 1 but is similar in quality to the
previous speed 1 configuration.
Also slight change to behavior of FLAG_EARLY_TERMINATE to insure
all reference frames get at least one rd test. Important for very low
variance regions.

"The PMADDWD instruction multiplies four

The probability model used to code prediction mode is conditioned

Adds modeled functions to decide the qp for altref frames in constant q
mode similar to other functions in use in bitrate mode.
Also turns on the constrained quality mode (end-usage=2) option which
was turned off before. Basic testing shows the mode works in principle,
to cap bitrate to the target-bitrate specified, while allowing lower
bitrate depending on the cq-level specified. The mode will need to be
improved over time.

Adds a new end-usage option for constant quality encoding in vpx. This
first version implemented for VP9, encodes all regular inter frames
using the quality specified in the --cq-level= option, while encoding
all key frames and golden/altref frames at a quality better than that.
The current performance on derfraw300 is +0.910% up from bitrate control,
but achieved without multiple recode loops per frame.
The decision for qp for each altref/golden/key frame will be improved
in subsequent patches based on better use of stats from the first pass.
Further, the qp for regular inter frames may also be varied around the
provided cq-level.

Added some code to output normalized rd hit count stats.
In effect this approximates to the average number of rd
operations/tests per pixel for the sequence.
The results are not quite accurate and I have not bothered
to account for partial SB64s at frame edges and for key frames
However they do give some idea of the number of modes /
prediction methods being tested for each pixel across the
different partition sizes. This indicates how much scope their
is for further gains either by reducing the number of partitions
examined or the modes per partition through heuristics.
Patch 3 moved place where count incremented so partial rd

(In response to Issue 604:
https://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=604)
There were bugs in the convolution code for two cases:
1. Where the filter table was assumed to be aligned to a
256 byte boundary. The offset of the pixel in the
source buffer was computed incorrectly.
2. Where no such alignment assumption was made. An
incorrect address for the filter table base was used.
To fix both problems, I now assume that the filter table is
256-byte aligned and modify the pixel offset calculation to
match.
A later patch should remove the restriction that the filter
table is aligned to a 256-byte boundary.
There was also a bug in the ConvolveTest unit test
(convolve_test.cc).

Values now carried over frame to frame.
Change to algorithm for decreasing threshold after
a hit and to max threshold (now based on speed)
Removed some old commented out code relating to
VP8 adaptive thresholds.
The impact of these changes tested on Akiyo (50 frames)
and measured in terms of unit rd hits is as follows:
Speed 0 84.36 -> 84.67
Speed 1 29.48 -> 22.22
Speed 2 11.76 -> 8.21
Speed 3 12.32 -> 7.21
Encode speed impact is broadly in line with these.

Most of the focus so far has been on inter frames.
At high speed settings the key frame is now taking a high %
of the cycles.
This patch puts in some masking to reduce the number
of INTRA modes searched during key frame coding (as already
happens for inter frames) at higher speed settings
TODO: Develop this further with either adaptive rd thresholds
when choosing which intra modes to consider or some other
heuristic.
Impact.
At high speed settings on some clips the key frame was starting
to dominate. In a coding of the first 50 frames of AKIYO at speed
2 limiting the key frame intra modes to DC or TM_PRED resulted in
~30% overall speedup. For Bus the number was lower at ~4-5%.

This commit changes the partition search order of superblocks from
{SPLIT, NONE, HORZ, VERT} to {NONE, SPLIT, HORZ, VERT} for
consistency with that of sub8x8 partition search. It enable the use
of early termination in partition search for all block sizes.
For ped_area_1080p 50 frames coded at 4000 kbps, it makes the runtime
goes down from 844305ms -> 818003ms (3% speed-up) at speed 0.
This will further move towards making the in-search partition types
configurable, hence unifying various speed-up approaches.
Some speed 1 and 2 features are turned off during the refactoring
process, including:
disable_split_var_thresh
using_small_partition_info
Stricter constraints are applied to use_square_partition_only for
right/bottom boundary blocks. Will bring back/refine these features
subsequently. At this point, it makes derf set at speed 1 about
0.45% higher in compression performance, and 9% down in run-time.

Currently, the best quality mode in VP9 is not very well developed,
and unnecessarily makes the encode too slow. Hence the command line
default is changed to "good" quality. Also, the number of passes
default is changed to 2 passes as well, since 1-pass encoding is
not very efficient in VP9.
Besides, a number of VP9 defaults are set to the currently
recommended settings. With these changes, vpxenc
run with --codec=vp9 --kf-max-dist=9999 --cpu-used=0 should
work about the same as our borg results.
Note when the --cpu-used=0 option is dropped there will be a slight
difference in the output, because of a difference in the cpu-used
value for the first pass. Specifically, the default when unspecified
is to use cpu_used=1 for the first pass and cpu_used=0 for the
second pass. But when specified, both passes will use the cpu-used
value specified.
Note that this also changes the default for VP8 as being "good"
but other options stay unchanged.

Adds a speed feature to disable split partition search based on a
given threshold on the source variance. A tighter threshold derived
from the threshold provided is used to also disable horizontal and
vertical partitions.
Results on derfraw300:
threshold = 16, psnr = -0.057%, speedup ~1% (football)
threshold = 32, psnr = -0.150%, speedup ~4-5% (football)
threshold = 64, psnr = -0.570%, speedup ~10-12% (football)
Results on stdhdraw250:
threshold = 32, psnr = -0.18%, speedup is somewhat more than derf
because of a larger number of smoother blocks at higher resolution.
Based on these results, a threshold of 32 is chosen for speed 1,
and a threshold of 64 is chosen for speeds 2 and above.

Adds a few pattern searches to achieve various tradeoffs
between motion estimation complexity and performance.
The search framework is unified across these searches so that a
common pattern search function is used for all. Besides it will
be easier to experiment with various patterns or combinations
thereof at different scales in the future.
The new pattern search is multi-scale and is capable of using
different patterns at different scales.
The new hex search uses 8 points at the smallest scale
and 6 points at other scales.
Two other pattern searches - big-diamond and square are
also added. Big diamond uses 4 points at the smallest scale and
8 points in diamond shape at the larger scales.
Square is very similar conceptually to the default n-step search
but is somewhat faster since it keeps only one survivor across
all scales.

For ped1080p at 8000 kbps, this on average reduces the runtime of

This allows us to increment the position at the band-level only as
we go from one band to the next; more importantly, that allows us to
use an add instead of multiply instruction, and omit the instruction
altogether if the band doesn't change from one coef to the next, thus
being slightly faster (probably more noticeable on systems where a
multiply is expensive, like arm).

Speed feature experiment to set an upper and lower
partition size limit based on what has been seen
in spatial neighbors.
This seems to gives quite reasonable speed gains in local
(10-15%) and when used with speed 0 the losses are small
(0.25% derf, 0.35% stdhd). However, for now I am only
enabling it on speed 1 as there may be clashes with the existing
temporal partition selection in speed 2.
Using a tighter min / max around the range derived from the
neighbors increases speed further but at the cost of a
bigger quality loss. However, I think this spatial method could
be combined with data from either the last frame or a variance
method (or both) to refine the range of minimum and maximum
partition size. I.e. consider the min and max from spatial and
temporal neighbors and the variance recommendation.

Used 3 * standard_deviation in internal threshold calculation
instead of fit curve. This actually approached the algorithm
better.
For comparison, similar tests were done:
The overall psnr loss is less than before.
1. derf set:
when static-thresh = 1, psnr loss is 0.329%;
when static-thresh = 500, psnr loss is 0.970%;
2. stdhd set:
when static-thresh = 1, psnr loss is 0.922%;
when static-thresh = 500, psnr loss is 1.307%;
Similar speedup is achieved. For example,
clip bitrate static-thresh psnr time
akiyo(cif) 500 0 48.952 5.077s(50f)
akiyo 500 500 48.866 4.169s(50f)

This option exists in VP8, and it was rewritten in VP9 to support
skipping on different partition levels. After prediction is done,
we can check if the residuals in the partition block will be all
quantized to 0. If this is true, the skip flag is set, and only
prediction data are needed in reconstruction. Based on DCT's energy
conservation property, the skipping check can be estimated in
spatial domain.
The prediction error is calculated and compared to a threshold.
The threshold is determined by the dequant values, and also
adjusted by partition sizes. To be precise, the DC and AC parts
for Y, U, and V planes are checked to decide skipping or not.
Test showed that
1. derf set:
when static-thresh = 1, psnr loss is 0.666%;
when static-thresh = 500, psnr loss is 1.162%;
2. stdhd set:
when static-thresh = 1, psnr loss is 1.249%;
when static-thresh = 500, psnr loss is 1.668%;
For different clips, encoding speedup range is between several
percentage and 20+% when static-thresh <= 500. For example,
clip bitrate static-thresh psnr time
akiyo(cif) 500 0 48.923 5.635s(50f)
akiyo 500 500 48.863 4.402s(50f)
parkjoy(1080p) 4000 0 30.380 77.54s(30f)
parkjoy 4000 500 30.384 69.59s(30f)
sunflower(1080p) 4000 0 44.461 85.2s(30f)
sunflower 4000 500 44.418 78.1s(30f)
Higher static-thresh values give larger speedup with larger
quality loss.

Prior to 73c4e284, the generated .sln files didn't contain any
information about the different configurations when using .vcxproj
project files. The MSVS IDE was able to fill this in just fine when
loaded though.
When building for ARM, the obj_int_extract project still is built
for x86, in order for the build process to be able to use
obj_int_extract.exe.
Now that configuration info is generated, it breaks current ARM
setups, since the configurations generated by gen_msvs_sln.sh only
included configurations from the last parsed project file (as
mentioned in the comment).
In these setups, the MSVS IDE generated a third meta-platform, called
"Mixed Platforms". This meta-platform points to either ARM or
Win32 as platform in each of the individual projects.
When the MSVS IDE generated this automatically, it also included
the original ARM and Win32 platforms as separate choices, but these
can be omitted since they don't make sense.

Stack the rate-distortion statistics in the sub8x8 rd loop. This allows
the encoder to skip the forward transform, quantization, and coeff cost
estimation, in the sub8x8 rd optimization search, if the motion
vector(s) are of integer pixel value, and have been tested in the
previous prediction filter type rd loops of the same block.
This gives about 2% speed-up for bus_cif at 2000 kpbs, for speed 0.

This prevents a duplicate memcpy of a 128-byte struct every time
set_scale_factors() is called (which is a lot), thus leading to a
decrease from 3.7 MB to 1.85 MB of struct copying per 64x64 block

Overall, this decreases encoding time of the first 50 frames of bus
@ 1500kbps (speed 0) from 1min5.9 to 1min4.9, i.e. about a 1.5%

super_block_yrd(). Overall speed change (on derfraw300) is roughly
-13%. This can probably be improved further by caching best_yrd
between partition searches. Also, we might be able to get more
speedups by always doing PARTITION_NONE before PARTITIONS_SPLIT, not
just at the sb8x8 level.

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.

In the prior code, the above context pointers used for entropy
decoding were initialized on the first frame, and not updated when
the frame size changed. The per-frame code which initializes the
contexts assumes that the contexts are contiguous, leading to an
incomplete initialization when the frame is smaller. This commit
updates the pointers so that the context is contigous whenever
the frame size changes.

This is required because upon downscaling, if a motion vector points
partially into the UMV (e.g. all minus 1 of 64+7 pixels, i.e. 70),
then we can point up to 140 pixels into the larger-resolution (2x)
reference buffer UMV, which means the UMV for reference buffers in
downscaling needs to be 140 rounded up to the nearest multiple of 32,
i.e. 160.
Longer-term, we should probably handle the UMV differently by detecting
edge coverage on-the-fly and using a temporary buffer for edge extensions
instead of adding 160 pixels on all sides of the image (which means a
CIF image uses 3x its own area size for borders).

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.

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:

(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).

This should significantly speedup cost_coeffs(). Basically what the
patch does is to make the neighbour arrays padded by one item to
prevent an eob check in get_coef_context(), then it populates each
col/row scan and left/top edge coefficient with two times the same
neighbour - this prevents a single/double context branch in
get_coef_context(). Lastly, it populates neighbour arrays in pixel
order (rather than scan order), so we don't have to dereference the
scantable to get the correct neighbours.

This commit replaces zrun_zbin_boost, a method of biasing non-zero
coefficients following runs of zero-coefficients to be rounded towards
zero, with an explicit skip-block choice in the RD loop.
The logic is basically that if individual coefficients should be rounded
towards zero (from a RD point of view), the trellis/optimize loop should
take care of it. If whole blocks should be zero (from a RD point of
view), a single RD check is much more efficient than a complete
serialization of the quantization loop.
Quality change: derf +0.5% psnr, +1.6% ssim; yt +0.6% psnr, +1.1% ssim.
SIMD for quantize will follow in a separate patch. Results for other

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%.

For cases where there's no transform set in bit 0 (the left edge of
the SB) but bit 0 of mask_4x4_int is set (the edge 4 pixels from the
left edge needs filtering), it was incorrectly being skipped before.
This situation only happens on the leftmost edge of the image, as
the edge at column 0 is intentionally skipped since there aren't
pixels to the left to read.

Optimized the quantization function by making it a two-pass
process. The first pass does a quick checking of the transform
coefficients against the base ZBIN, and only keep the good
enough set of coefficients for quantization. A skipping
check is added. If all coefficients are within the base ZBIN, no
quantization is needed. The second pass is the actual quantization
pass, which only processes the coefficient subset determined
in first pass. This reduces the computation. Furthermore, an
alternitive method is used for large transform size, which often
has sparse nonzero quantized coefficients.
Overall, the encoder speedup is about 4%. The quantization function
itself gets 20% faster.

In the longer term the encoder should allow compound as long
as one of the buffers has opposite sign bias and as per the decoder
this buffer is then set as the fixed reference. However at the moment
the encoder and RD loop only supports the case where the ALTREF_FRAME
buffer (or third of the 3 allowed in any given frame) is the odd one out.
This patch fixes a bug that would allow compound inter and set
fixed ref to ALTREF_FRAME when it is not the odd one out.

This version of the loop filter supports non-4:2:0 subsampling and
a fourth plane, as well as changing the filtering order to be more
friendly to hardware implementations.
The filters are applied first to all vertical edges within the
64x64 SB, followed by the top horizontal edge and any internal
horizontal edges. Since filtering is applied on each 4x4 edge
serially, a dependency is created from filtering one block edge
to the next. It would be possible to remove this depencnecy by
building all filtering decisions from the unfiltered
reconstruction data.
Change-Id: I08f3e9683eb7bded8a76651cbc50fc0dfdd05fa7
Added structures to support independent rd thresholds

Added structure to to allow dynamic adaptation of thresholds
per mode and per block size basis depending on how often
the mode/block size combination is seen (currently fixed factor).
Removed some unused variables.
TODO
- Adaptation of thresholds based on how often each mode chosen.
- The baseline mode values could also be adjusted based on
the block size (e.g. for a particular intra mode use a low threshold
for 4x4 prediction blocks but a relatively high value for 64x64.

This commit makes operations of the superblock intra coding rate
distortion optimization consistent with those used in the encoding
process. Given the test prediction mode and transform size, the rd

decisions.
It achieves coding performance gains:

The first 240 coeff positions (15 top-left blocks) are scanned in the

"block bands", each band at a time, all coeffs in one band before

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.

The arm assembly files are named .s after conversion, to reuse
as much of the existing makefile infrastructure for conversion to

Replace mi_width/height_log2 with b_width/height_log2 in partition
type parsing at bit-stream writing stage. This allows parsing
resolution at 4x4 block level and makes the 4x4/4x8/8x4 partition

This patch creates a new inter mode contest that avoids
a dependence on the reconstructed motion vectors from
neighboring blocks. This was a change requested by
a hardware vendor to improve decode performance.
As part of this change I have also made some modifications
to stats output code (under a flag) to allow accumulation of
inter mode context flags over multiple clips
Some further changes will be required to accommodate the
deprecation of the split mv mode over the next few days.
Performance as stands is around -0.25% on derf and
std-hd but up on the YT and YT-HD sets. With further tuning
or some adjustment to the context criteria it should be
possible to make this change broadly neutral.

This commit allows the rate-distortion optimization recursion

Currently this only supports thumb2.
This involves rewriting certain instructions that can't be expressed
in thumb2 into equivalent instruction sequences. The regexps for
rewriting are currently written pretty narrowly, only covering the
exact cases currently encountered in the code base.
No IT instructions are added (since that would require more logic than
plain regexps), so using the thumb mode requires enabling
-mimplicit-it=always/thumb.

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.

The previous code was somewhat vestigial for 16x16 MI units, but was
incorrect when called with chroma blocks larger than 4x4 because the
block index caused a reference to a non-existent BMI. This patch uses
the same MV for all chroma subblocks in SPLITMV mode, which is
suboptimal for non-4:2:0 subsamplings, but as SPLITMV may be removed
in the near future, will use this as a stop gap.

This doesn't affect the output, because in previous cases where the

The commmit changed to use same intra prediction function for all
block sizes.
Some details on the changes:
1. All directional modes except DC/TM/V/H now have built-in filtering
for all pixels with filter taps either (1, 2, 1)/4 or (1, 1)/2.
2. Above edge get automatic extended to double width (bw*2), which
makes a lot of the prediciton mode computation simpler.
3. Same intra prediction function is called with different size
for i4x4_pred and all other larger size.
Overall, the change helped keyframe only coding for both cif size
and std-hd size test sets by .5% consistently on all encodings.
For normal coding with single/auto key frame, the change now also
is consistently net positive for all encodings. The overall gains
is about .15% on std-hd set.

As we are no longer able to sort the candidate
mvrefs in both encoder and decode and given
that the cost of explicit signalling has proved
prohibitive, it no longer makes sense to find more
than 2 candidates.
This patch:
Modifies and simplifies add_candidate_mv()
Removes the forced addition of a 0 vector in the
MAX_MV_REF_CANDIDATES-1 position (in preparation
to reducing MAX_MV_REF_CANDIDATES to 2).
Re-orders the addition of candidates slightly.
This actually gives small gains (circa 0.2% on std-hd)
A subsequent patch will remove NEW_MVREF experiment,
reduce MAX_MV_REF_CANDIDATES to 2 and remove distance
weights as these are implicit now in the order.

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.

This commit converts the luma versions of vp9_build_inter_predictors_sb
to use a common function. Update the convolution functions to support
block sizes larger than 16x16, and add a foreach_predicted_block walker.
Next step will be to calculate the UV motion vector and implement SBUV,
then fold in vp9_build_inter16x16_predictors_mb and SPLITMV.
At the 16x16, 32x32, and 64x64 levels implemented in this commit, each
plane is predicted with only a single call to vp9_build_inter_predictor.
This is not yet called for SPLITMV. If the notion of SPLITMV/I8X8/I4X4
goes away, then the prediction block walker can go away, since we'll
always predict the whole bsize in a single step. Implemented using a
block walker at this stage for SPLITMV, as a 4x4 "prediction block size"
within the BLOCK_SIZE_MB16X16 macroblock. It would also support other
rectangular sizes too, if the blocks smaller than 16x16 remain
implemented as a SPLITMV-like thing. Just using 4x4 for now.
There's also a potential to combine with the foreach_transformed_block
walker if the logic for calculating the size of the subsampled
transform is made more straightforward, perhaps as a consequence of
supporing smaller macroblocks than 16x16. Will watch what happens there.

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 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.

Clamp only the motion vectors inferred from neighboring reference
macroblocks. The motion vectors obtained through motion search in
NEWMV mode are constrained during the search process, which allows
a relatively larger referencing region than the inferred mvs.
Hence further clamping the best mv provided by the motion search may
affect the efficacy of NEWMV mode.
Synchronized the decoding process. The decoded mvs in NEWMV modes
should be guaranteed to fit in the effective range. Put a mv range

Adds an experiment to use a weighted prediction of two INTER
predictors, where the weight is one of (1/4, 3/4), (3/8, 5/8),
(1/2, 1/2), (5/8, 3/8) or (3/4, 1/4), and is chosen implicitly
based on consistency of the predictors to the already
reconstructed pixels to the top and left of the current macroblock
or superblock.
Currently the weighting is not applied to SPLITMV modes, which
default to the usual (1/2, 1/2) weighting. However the code is in
place controlled by a macro. The same weighting is used for Y and

Now that the first AC coefficient in both directions use the same DC
as their context, there no longer is a purpose in letting both have
their own band. Merging these two bands allows us to split bands for
some of the very high-frequency AC bands.
In addition, I'm redoing the banding for the 1D-ADST col/row scans. I
don't think the old banding made any sense at all (it merged the last
coefficient of the first row/col in the same band as the first two of
the second row/col), which was clearly an oversight from the band being
applied in scan-order (rather than in their actual position). Now,
coefficients at the same position will be in the same band, regardless
what scan order is used. I think this makes most sense for the purpose
of banding, which is basically "predict energy for this coefficient
depending on the energy of context coefficients" (i.e. pt).
After full re-training, together with previous patch, derf gains about
1.2-1.3%, and hd/stdhd gain about 0.9-1.0%.

Pearson correlation for above or left is significantly higher than for
previous-in-scan-order (absolute values depend on position in scan, but
in general, we gain about 0.1-0.2 by using either above or left; using
both basically just makes this even better). For eob branch skipping,
we continue to use the previous token in scan order.
This helps about 0.9% on derf after re-training on a limited data set.
Full re-training and results on larger-resolution clips are pending.
Note that this commit breaks trellis, so we can probably get further
gains out of it by fixing trellis at some later point.

Replaces the default tables for single coefficient magnitudes with
those obtained from an appropriate distribution. The EOB node
is left unchanged. The model is represeted as a 256-size codebook
where the index corresponds to the probability of the Zero or the
One node. Two variations are implemented corresponding to whether
the Zero node or the One-node is used as the peg. The main advantage
is that the default prob tables will become considerably smaller and
manageable. Besides there is substantially less risk of over-fitting
for a training set.
Various distributions are tried and the one that gives the best
results is the family of Generalized Gaussian distributions with
shape parameter 0.75. The results are within about 0.2% of fully
trained tables for the Zero peg variant, and within 0.1% of the
One peg variant.
The forward updates are optionally (controlled by a macro)
model-based, i.e. restricted to only convey probabilities from the
codebook. Backward updates can also be optionally (controlled by
another macro) model-based, but is turned off by default. Currently
model-based forward updates work about the same as unconstrained
updates, but there is a drop in performance with backward-updates
being model based.
The model based approach also allows the probabilities for the key
frames to be adjusted from the defaults based on the base_qindex of
the frame. Currently the adjustment function is a placeholder that
adjusts the prob of EOB and Zero node from the nominal one at higher
quality (lower qindex) or lower quality (higher qindex) ends of the
range. The rest of the probabilities are then derived based on the
model from the adjusted prob of zero.

This patch puts in an adjustment to the maximum gf/arf
interval based on the active q range. It sets a fixed
baseline maximum of 16 but can drop this down to 12 at
lower q. This required some re-ordering in the first pass

the first gf sequence.
The main gains seed are int he STD hd set on 50fps clips

The previous implementation visited each node in the tree multiple times
because it used each symbol's encoding to revisit the branches taken and
increment its count. Instead, we can traverse the tree depth first and
calculate the probabilities and branch counts as we walk back up. The
complexity goes from somewhere between O(nlogn) and O(n^2) (depending on
how balanced the tree is) to O(n).
Only tested one clip (256kbps, CIF), saw 13% decoding perf improvement.
Note that this optimization should port trivially to VP8 as well. In VP8,
the decoder doesn't use this function, but it does routinely show up
on the profile for realtime encoding.

A 'superframe' is a group of frames that share the same PTS, but have a

In addition, unify chroma transform size selection from luma transform

in practice, this means 32x32 and 64x64 superblocks using the 16x16 luma
transform will now use the 16x16 (instead of the 8x8) chroma transform,
and 64x64 superblocks using the 32x32 luma transform will now use the

Since the 8-tap lowpass filter is non-interpolating, the results are
different between applying it at whole-pel values and not. This
means that 1D-only versions are requried to be implemented, as
opposed to being an optimization of the 2D case. Calling the 2D

This patch extends the previous support for using references of a

This commit updates the 4x4 prediction to consistently use the
build_2x1_inter_predictor() method. That function is updated to
calculate the scale offset, rather than relying on the caller
to calculate it. In the case that the 2x1 prediction can not
be used, the scale offset is recalculated for each 1x1 block.
The idea here is that the offsets are calculated before each
call to vp9_build_scaled_inter_predictor().

This patch allows coding frames using references of different
resolution, in ZEROMV mode. For compound prediction, either
reference may be scaled.
To test, I use the resize_test and enable WRITE_RECON_BUFFER
in vp9_onyxd_if.c. It's also useful to apply this patch to
test/i420_video_source.h:

This forces the frame that the resolution changes on to be coded

Some minor refactoring code relating to estimates of
bits per MB at a given Q and estimating the allowed Q range.
Most of the changes here were included in a previous commit.
This commit seeks to separate out the refactoring from more
the material changes.
Two #define control flags have been added for experimentation.
ONE_SHOT_Q_ESTIMATE force the two pass encoder to
use its initial Q range estimate for the whole clip even if this results
in a miss on the target data rate. In effect this tightens the Q range
seen at the expense of rate control accuracy.
DISABLE_RC_LONG_TERM_MEM is a related flag that disables the
long term memory in the rate control. Local adjustments are still
made to try and better hit the rate target on a per frame basis but
the impact of rate control misses is not propagated to the remainder
of the clip. This means that for example an overshoot early on will not
cause frames later in the clip to be starved of bits. Again the result
of this relaxation amy be less rate control accuracy especially on short
clips.
The flags are disabled by default for now.

This patch alters the balance of context between the
coefficient bands (reflecting the position of coefficients
within a transform blocks) and the energy of the previous
token (or tokens) within a block.
In this case the number of coefficient bands is reduced
but more previous token energy bands are supported.
Some initial rebalancing of the default tables has been
by running multiple derf clips at multiple data rates using
the ENTOPY_STATS macro. Further balancing needs to be
done using larger image formatsd especially in regard to
the bigger transform sizes which are not as well represented
in encodings of smaller image formats.

The 32x32 value in case of splitmv was uninitialized. this leads to
all kind of erratic behaviour down the line. Also fill in dummy values
for superblocks in keyframes (the values are currently unused, but we
run into integer overflows anyway, which makes detecting bad cases
harder). Lastly, in case we did not find any RD value at all, don't
set tx_diff to INT_MIN, but instead set it to zero (since if we couldn't
find a mode, it's unlikely that any particular transform would have made
that worse or better; rather, it's likely equally bad for all tx_sizes).

This patch abstracts the selection of the coefficient band
context into a function as a precursor to further experiments
with the coefficient context.
It also removes the large per TX size coefficient band structures
and uses a single matrix for all block sizes within the test function.
This may have an impact on quality (results to follow) but is only an
intermediate step in the process of redefining the context. Also the
quality impact will be larger initially because the default tables will
be out of step with the new banding.
In particular the 4x4 will in this case only use 7 bands. If needed we
can add back block size dependency localized within the function, but
this can follow on after the other changes to the definition of the
context.

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,

This patch adds column-based tiling. The idea is to make each tile
independently decodable (after reading the common frame header) and
also independendly encodable (minus within-frame cost adjustments in
the RD loop) to speed-up hardware & software en/decoders if they used
multi-threading. Column-based tiling has the added advantage (over
other tiling methods) that it minimizes realtime use-case latency,
since all threads can start encoding data as soon as the first SB-row
worth of data is available to the encoder.
There is some test code that does random tile ordering in the decoder,
to confirm that each tile is indeed independently decodable from other
tiles in the same frame. At tile edges, all contexts assume default
values (i.e. 0, 0 motion vector, no coefficients, DC intra4x4 mode),
and motion vector search and ordering do not cross tiles in the same
frame.
t log
Tile independence is not maintained between frames ATM, i.e. tile 0 of
frame 1 is free to use motion vectors that point into any tile of frame
0. We support 1 (i.e. no tiling), 2 or 4 column-tiles.
The loopfilter crosses tile boundaries. I discussed this briefly with Aki
and he says that's OK. An in-loop loopfilter would need to do some sync
between tile threads, but that shouldn't be a big issue.
Resuls: with tiling disabled, we go up slightly because of improved edge
use in the intra4x4 prediction. With 2 tiles, we lose about ~1% on derf,
~0.35% on HD and ~0.55% on STD/HD. With 4 tiles, we lose another ~1.5%
on derf ~0.77% on HD and ~0.85% on STD/HD. Most of this loss is
concentrated in the low-bitrate end of clips, and most of it is because
of the loss of edges at tile boundaries and the resulting loss of intra
predictors.
TODO:
- more tiles (perhaps allow row-based tiling also, and max. 8 tiles)?
- maybe optionally (for EC purposes), motion vectors themselves
should not cross tile edges, or we should emulate such borders as
if they were off-frame, to limit error propagation to within one
tile only. This doesn't have to be the default behaviour but could
be an optional bitstream flag.
Change-Id: I5951c3a0742a767b20bc9fb5af685d9892c2c96f
Update the code to call the new convolution functions to do subpixel
prediction rather than the existing functions. Remove the old C and
assembly code, since it is unused. This causes a 50% performance
reduction on the decoder, but that will be resolved when the asm for
the new functions is available.
There is no consensus for whether 6-tap or 2-tap predictors will be
supported in the final codec, so these filters are implemented in
terms of the 8-tap code, so that quality testing of these modes
can continue. Implementing the lower complexity algorithms is a
simple exercise, should it be necessary.
This code produces slightly better results in the EIGHTTAP_SMOOTH
case, since the filter is now applied in only one direction when
the subpel motion is only in one direction. Like the previous code,
the filtering is skipped entirely on full-pel MVs. This combination
seems to give the best quality gains, but this may be indicative of a
bug in the encoder's filter selection, since the encoder could
achieve the result of skipping the filtering on full-pel by selecting
one of the other filters. This should be revisited.
Quality gains on derf positive on almost all clips. The only clip
that seemed to be hurt at all datarates was football
(-0.115% PSNR average, -0.587% min). Overall averages 0.375% PSNR,
0.347% SSIM.

This commit introduces a new convolution function which will be used to
replace the existing subpixel interpolation functions. It is much the
same as the existing functions, but allows for changing the filter
kernel on a per-pixel basis, and doesn't bake in knowledge of the
filter to be applied or the size of the resulting block into the
function name.
Replacing the existing subpel filters will come in a later commit.

This commit changes the 32x32 idct to use integer only. The algorithm
was taken directly from "A Fast Computational Algorithm for the
Discrete Cosine Tranform" by W. Chen, et al., which was published in
IEEE Transaction on Communication Vol. Com.-25 No. 9, 1977. The signal
flow graph in the original paper is for a 32 point forward dct, the
current implementation of inverse DCT was done by follow the graph in
reversed direction.
With this implementation, the 32 point inverse dct contains a 16 point
inverse dct in its even portion, similarly the 16 point idct further
contains 8 point and 4 point inverse dcts.
As of patch 4, encoding tests showed there is no compression loss when
compared against the floating point baseline. Numbers even showed very
small postives. (cif: .01%, std-hd: .05%).

Adds an error-resilient mode where frames can be continued
to be decoded even when there are errors (due to network losses)
on a prior frame. Specifically, backward updates are turned off
and probabilities of various symbols are reset to defaults at
the beginning of each frame. Further, the last frame's mvs are
not used for the mv reference list, and the sorting of the
initial list based on search on previous frames is turned off
as well.
Also adds a test where an arbitrary set of frames are skipped
from decoding to simulate errors. The test verifies (1) that if
the error frames are droppable - i.e. frame buffer updates have
been turned off - there are no mismatch errors for the remaining
frames after the error frames; and (2) if the error-frames are non
droppable, there are not only no decoding errors but the mismatch
PSNR between the decoder's version of the post-error frames and the
encoder's version is at least 20 dB.

In commit 9a1d73d, loop filtering was added for UV 4x4 boundaries
when TX_8X8 is used by a MB. This commit further refined the decision
to be based on the actual transform used for the UV planes. When
UV planes use 4x4 transform, i.e. when prediction mode used is either
I8X8_PRED or SPLITMV, UV planes are filtered on 4x4 boundaries, and no
filtering is applied on 4x4 block boundaries when UV planes use 8X8
transform.

This prevents ill-defined behaviour, such as setting x->skip for a mode
that is excluded because of frame-level flags (e.g. filter selection,
compound prediction selection), then not breaking out of the RD loop
because the mode is not allowed, but keeping the flag on. Whatever mode
is iterated through next in the RD loop will then carry this flag, and
all sort of bad stuff happens, such as x->skip being set on intra pred
modes.

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 experimental change reorders the search so
that all possible references that match the target
reference frame are tested first and these in order
of distance from the current block. These will usually
be the highest scoring candidates.
If we do not find enough good candidates this way
we try non matching cases. These will usually be lower
scoring candidates.
The change in order together with breakouts when
we have found enough candidates should reduce
the computational cost and especially reduce the number
of sort operations.
Quality Results:
Std Hd +0.228%, Hd +0.074%, YT +0.046%, derf +0.137%

Old Scheme:
When SWITCHABLE filter selection is enabled the encoder
evaluates the use of each interpolation filter type and
selects the best one to use at the MB level. A frame-
level flag can be set to force the use of a particular
filter type for all MBs in a frame if it is more efficient
to encode that way. The logic here involved a Q dependent
threshold that assumed that the second 8-tap filter was
a high-pass filter. However, this requires a trip around
the recode loop. If the frame-level flag indicates use
of a particular filter, the other filters are not
evaluated in the pick_mode loop.
New Scheme:
Each filter type is evaluated at the MB level and a record
of the best filter is kept, irrespective of what filter
is signaled at the frame-level. Once all MBs have been
encoded, a decision is made as to what frame-level mode
to set for the *next* frame. If one filter is used by 80%
or more of the MBs, then this filter is forced since it
is assumed that this will be more efficient if the
next frame has similar characteristics. i.e. there is a
one-frame lag between measuring the filter selection and
setting the frame-level mode to use.

Modifies the scanning pattern and uses a floating point 16x16
dct implementation for now to handle scaling better.
Also experiments are in progress with 2/6 and 9/7 wavelets.
Results have improved to within ~0.25% of 32x32 dct for std-hd
and about 0.03% for derf. This difference can probably be bridged by
re-optimizing the entropy stats for these transforms. Currently
the stats used are common between 32x32 dct and dwt/dct.
Experiments are in progress with various scan pattern - wavelet
combinations.
Ideally the subbands should be tokenized separately, and an
experiment will be condcuted next on that.

Gives 0.5-0.6% improvement on derf and stdhd, and 1.1% on hd. The
old tables basically derive from times that we had only 4x4 or
only 4x4 and 8x8 DCTs.
Note that some values are filled with 128, because e.g. ADST ever
only occurs as Y-with-DC, as does 32x32; 16x16 ever only occurs
as Y-with-DC or as UV (as complement of 32x32 Y); and 8x8 Y2 ever
only has 4 coefficients max. If preferred, I can add values of
other tables in their place (e.g. use 4x4 2nd order high-frequency
probabilities for 8x8 2nd order), so that they make at least some
sense if we ever implement a larger 2nd order transform for the
8x8 DCT (etc.), please let me know

Add a function clip_pixel() to clip a pixel value to the [0,255] range
of allowed values, and use this where-ever appropriate (e.g. prediction,
reconstruction). Likewise, consistently use the recently added function
clip_prob(), which calculates a binary probability in the [1,255] range.
If possible, try to use get_prob() or its sister get_binary_prob() to
calculate binary probabilities, for consistency.
Since in some places, this means that binary probability calculations
are changed (we use {255,256}*count0/(total) in a range of places,
and all of these are now changed to use 256*count0+(total>>1)/total),
this changes the encoding result, so this patch warrants some extensive
testing.

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.

Don't use the switch to gf_rate_correction factor when

Experiments with a larger set of contexts and some
clean up to replace magic numbers regarding the
number of contexts.
The starting values and rate of backwards adaption
are still suspect and based on a small set of tests.
Added forwards adjustment of probabilities.
The net result of adding the new context and forward
update is small compared to the old context from the
legacy find_near function. (down a little on derf but
up by a similar amount for HD)
HOWEVER.... with the new context and forward update
the impact of disabling the reverse update (which may be
necessary in some use cases to facilitate parallel decoding)
is hugely reduced.
For the old context without forward update, the impact of
turning off reverse update (Experiment was with SB off) was
Derf - 0.9, Yt -1.89, ythd -2.75 and sthd -8.35. The impact was
mainly at low data rates.
With the new context and forward update enabled the impact
for all the test sets was no more than 0.5-1% (again most at

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.

This change is a fix / extension of the newbestrefmv
experiment. As such it is presented without IFDEF.
The change creates a new context for coding inter modes
in vp9_find_mv_refs(). This replaces the context that
was previously calculated in vp9_find_near_mvs().
The new context is unoptimized and not necessarily
any better at this stage (results pending), but eliminates
the need for a legacy call to vp9_find_near_mvs().
Based on numbers from Scott, this could help decode
speed by several %.
In a later patch I will add support for forward update of

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.

The altref frame is packed along with the next P frame. So that
outside of the codec there are now only two types of frames P and I.
Also, now it is one frame in and one frame out with respect to the
codec. Apart from that, all the frames are length encoded with the
length of each frame appended to the frame itself. There are
two categories of frames and each of them will look as follows:
- Packed frames (an altref along with the succeeding p frame)
- altref_frame_data | altref_lenngth | frame_data | length
- Unpacked frames (all frames other than the above)
- frame_data | length

Also split superblock handling code out of decode_macroblock() into
a new function decode_superblock(), for easier readability.
Derf +0.05%, HD +0.2%, STDHD +0.1%. We can likely get further gains
by allowing to select mb_skip_coeff for a subset of the complete SB
or something along those lines, because although this change allows
coding smaller transforms for bigger predictors, it increases the
overhead of coding EOBs to skip the parts where the residual is
near-zero, and thus the overall gain is not as high as we'd expect.

As suggested by Yaowu, simplified 16x16 dequant and idct. In decoder,
after detoken step, we know the number of non-zero dct coefficients
(eobs) in a macroblock. Idct calculation can be skipped or simplified
based on eobs, which improves the decoder performance.

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.

In the variance calculations the difference is summed and later squared.
When the sum exceeds sqrt(2^31) the value is treated as a negative when
it is shifted which gives incorrect results.
To fix this we force the multiplication to be unsigned.
The alternative fix is to shift sum down by 4 before multiplying.
However that will reduce precision.
For 16x16 blocks the maximum sum is 65280 and sqrt(2^31) is 46340 (and
change).
This change is based on:
1698234 Missed some variance casts

Previously, in evaluating reference motion vectors, MVs are always
rounded to integer pixel position and SADs are calculated. This
commit takes into account the subpixel portion of the mvs, and uses
bilinear interpolation to produce reference pixel values in subpixel
postions. In addition, SSE is used in place of SAD. Pixels used are
16x2 above and 2x16 to the left.
This commmit intends to test the potential of this line of work in
term of compression improvement, obviously, the change would increase
decoder complexity significantly.

Coding and costing of mv reference signal.
Issues in updating MV ref with COMPANDED_MVREF_THRESH
to be resolved. Ideally the MV precision should be defined based
on absolute MV magnitude not as now the MV ref magnitude.
Update to mv counts moved into bitstream.c because otherwise
if the motion reference is changed at the last minute the encoder
and decoder get out of step in terms of the counts used to update
entropy probs.
Code working on a few test clips but no results yet re benefit vs
signaling cost and no tuning of red loop to test lower cost alternatives
based on the available reference values.
Patch 3. Added check to make sure we don't pick a reference

Fix another typo in 4x4-transform-for-i8x8-intra-pred coeff contexts.
8x8 transform support in splitmv.
Use SPLITMV_PARTITIONING instead of a plain integer type.
For splitmv, where partitioning is 8x16, 16x8 or 8x8, this patch
uses the 8x8 transform (instead of the 4x4) if txfm_mode is
ALLOW_8X8 or ALLOW_16X16. For TX_MODE_SELECT, splitmv can indicate
which of the 2 transform sizes (4x4 or 8x8) it wants to use.
Gains (with hybridtx4x4/8x8/16x16 and tx_select experiments

1. Algorithm modification:
Instead of having same filter threshold for a whole frame, now we
allow the thresholds to be adjusted for each macroblock. In current
implementation, to avoid excessive blur on background as reported
in issue480(http://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=480), we
reduce the thresholds for skipped macroblocks.
2. SSE2 optimization:
As started in issue479(http://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=479),
the filter calculation was adjusted for better performance. The c
code was also modified accordingly. This made the deblock filter
2x faster, and the decoder was 1.2x faster overall.
Next, the demacroblock filter will be modified similarly.

In some situations, believed to be an interaction between temporal
scalability and dropped frames, the references available to an
encoder may not be the same references available to its parent.
Previously, the code tried to force the reference frame chosen by
the parent to be used on this frame, even if it was disabled. This
was preventing the pick mode loop from running even once, which led
to a crash.
Attempts to reproduce this bug locally were unsuccessful, so it is
still undetermined what the underlying cause of this issue is. In
the specific case that was failing, the application did not set
any flags which influenced the reference selection on that frame.
ref_frame_flags indicated that the golden frame was disabled,
believed to be because the last frame updated the last and golden
frames, so golden was shut off by default. It's not clear why this
wouldn't have also been true in the lower res encoder, ie, why the
lower res encoder decided to use and/or was allowed to use the
golden frame. We weren't able to debug into the non-crashing
lower res encoder as the crash couldn't be reproduced locally.

This is almost certainly over the top in terms of number of emms
instructions but is a temporary measure pending implementation of
integer variants of each function to replace the floating point.
Limited testing suggests that this fixes the problems that arose for

This unit test compares the difference in quality with
error resilience enabled and disabled. The test runs
for all of the one-pass encoding modes.
The test ensures that the effect of turning on error
resilience makes less than a 10% difference in PSNR.
Further cases should be added to do a more comprehensive
test.

If a parent mb is available but is intra coded, then parent_ref_mv is

the parent_ref_mv. Previously the parent_ref_mv was being read from
an uninitialized stack allocation, causing potential OOB reads and
other undefined behavior.

The stats buffer needs to be reset between runs of the

The high-precision (1/8) pel bit is turned off if the reference
MV is larger than a threshold. The motivation for this patch is
the intuition that if motion is likely large (as indicated by
the reference), there is likley to be more motion blur, and as
a result 1/8 pel precision would be wasteful both in rd sense
as well as computationally.
The feature is incorporated as part of the newmventropy experiment.
There is a modest RD improvement with the patch. Overall the
results with the newmventropy experiment with the threshold being

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.

The denoiser function was modified to reduce the computational
complexity.
1. The denoiser c function modification:
The original implementation calculated pixel's filter_coefficient
based on the pixel value difference between current raw frame and last
denoised raw frame, and stored them in lookup tables. For each pixel c,
find its coefficient using
filter_coefficient[c] = LUT[abs_diff[c]];
and then apply filtering operation for the pixel.
The denoising filter costed about 12% of encoding time when it was
turned on, and half of the time was spent on finding coefficients in
lookup tables. In order to simplify the process, a short cut was taken.
The pixel adjustments vs. pixel diff value were calculated ahead of time.
adjustment = filtered_value - current_raw
= (filter_coefficient * diff + 128) >> 8
The adjustment vs. diff curve becomes flat very quick when diff increases.
This allowed us to use only several levels to get a close approximation
of the curve. Following the denoiser algorithm, the adjustments are
further modified according to how big the motion magnitude is.
2. The sse2 function was rewritten.
This change made denoiser filter function 3x faster, and improved the
encoder performance by 7% ~ 10% with the denoiser on.

This commit adds a pick_sb_mode() function which selects the best 32x32
superblock coding mode. Then it selects the best per-MB modes, compares
the two and encodes that in the bitstream.
The bitstream coding is rather simplistic right now. At the SB level,
we code a bit to indicate whether this block uses SB-coding (32x32
prediction) or MB-coding (anything else), and then we follow with the
actual modes. This could and should be modified in the future, but is
omitted from this commit because it will likely involve reorganizing
much more code rather than just adding SB coding, so it's better to let
that be judged on its own merits.
Gains on derf: about even, YT/HD: +0.75%, STD/HD: +1.5%.

Memory for last frame's MVs, segmentation map and active map were allocated when

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.

Added drop_frame support in multi-resolution encoder.
If one frame is dropped at a lower-resolution level, the next
upper-resolution level encoder needs to encode that frame
independently without any lower-resolution level motion
information.
Another issue is that if one frame is dropped at some but not all
resolution levels, a frame after that one may use different set
of reference frames at different resolution levels. This reference
frame asynchronization could degrade motion search precision in
upper-resolution level encoding, which uses lower-resolution level
motion result. This change compares the lower-resolution and upper-
resolution level's reference frames. If they are not the same, the
upper-resolution level encoder can not use lower-resolution level
motion result.

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.

The commit introduces a make target 'testdata' that downloads the
required test data from the WebM project website. The data will also
be downloaded if invoking `make test` but is not a strict requirement
for only building the test executable.
The download directory is taken from the LIBVPX_TEST_DATA_PATH
environment variable, or may be specified as part of the make command.
If unset, it defaults to the current directory. It's expected that
most developers will want to set this environment variable to a place
outside their source/build trees, to avoid having to download the data
more than once.
To add test data file:
1) add a line to test/test.mk:
LIBVPX_TEST_DATA-yes += foo-bar-file.y4m
2) add its sha1sum to the test/test-data.sha1 file in the following
format:
528cc88c821e5f5b133c2b40f9c8e3f22eaacc4c foo-bar-file.y4m
3) upload the file to the website
$ gsutil cp foo-bar-file.y4m gs://downloads.webmproject.org/test_data/libvpx
This implementation will check the integrity of the test data
automatically if the `sha1sum` executable is available.

Avoid a pthreads dependency via pthread_once() when compiled with
--disable-multithread.
In addition, this synchronization is disabled for Win32 as well, even
though we can be sure that the required primatives exist, so that the
requirements on the application when built with --disable-multithread
are consistent across platforms.
Users using libvpx built with --disable-multithread in a multithreaded
context should provide their own synchronization. Updated the
documentation to vpx_codec_enc_init_ver() and vpx_codec_dec_init_ver()
to note this requirement. Moved the RTCD initialization call to match
this description, as previously it didn't happen until the first
frame.

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.

Frame dropping decision is made by evaluating both current frame

The logic for spatial resizing is done after the Q is selected for the
frame. This causes a problem that the Q we select for the (resized)

This fix is to ensure that, when resize is on, the selected Q is still
based on the resolution of the frame to be encoded.

resolution encoders, kf_mode is always set to VPX_KF_DISABLED,
and they are forced to use the same frame_type picked by the
lowest-resolution encoder.

I now see I didn't write a very long description, so let's do it
here then. We took a pretty big quality hit (0.1-0.2%) from my
recent fix of the inversion of arguments to vp8_cost_bit() in the
RD reference frame costing. I looked into it and basically the
costing prevented us from switching reference frames. This is of
course silly, since each frame codes its own prob_intra_coded, so
using last frame cost indications as a limiting factor can never
be right.
Here, I've rewritten that code to estimate costings based partially
on statistics from progress on current frame encoding. Overall,
this gives us a ~0.2%-0.3% improvement over what we had previously
before my argument-inversion-fix, and thus about ~0.4% over current
git (on derf-set), and a little more (0.5-1.0%) on HD/STD-HD/YT.

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
similar accuracy in term of round trip error against the floating
point version.
It should be noted here that the purpose of the patch is to help
encoding speed and facilitate all other experiments. There will be
futher review in combination with inverse DCT before finalization.
configure with "--enable--int_8x8fdct" to use the integer version

Allow CHOST to override the gcc -dumpmachine output. This allows to
use the target autodetection code when cross compiling by setting the
CHOST variable.
On Gentoo, we would like to support easy cross-compilation, and for
libvpx this would basically mean copying the code in
build/make/configure.sh to setup the right --target option. It seems a
lot easier to let it guess by itself.
Another option I considered was using CROSS-gcc instead but this would
not work for our multilib setups: They use gcc -m32 to build 32bits
binaries and gcc -m32 -dumpmachine will output the 64bits version,
which would then make libvpx wrongly believe it is building for a
64bits architecture.

These frames can force reference frame (arf), mode (zeromv) and skip,
which means that if we use compound prediction (i.e. arf+last), we
might use a blend of a perfect (arf) and an imperfect (last) predictor,
leading to semi-garbage display and thus a huge drop in SSIM/PSNR (up
to 10dB for some frames I analyzed).
Gives a +0.2% gain on YT.

This commit changed the forward and the inverse 4x4 Walsh Hadamard
transform to a new pair, where the inverse transform can pefectly
reconstuct the input to forward transform. It also does so without
changing the input and output value range. Even more, it does not
change the complexity of the transforms.
While it was not expected to improve the results of our current test,
it does improve std-hd set by 0.2% on all metrics. No change on derf.

1. block types
There are only three types of blocks for 8x8 transformed MBs, i.e. Y
block with DC does not exist for 8x8 transformed MBs as all MB using
8x8 transform have 2nd order haar transform. This commit introduced
a new macro BLOCK_TYPES_8X8 to reflect such fact.
2. context counters
This commit also fixed the mixed of context_counters between 4x4 and
8x8 transformed MBs. The mixed use of the counters leads me to think
the existing the context probabilities were not properly generated

Move the notion of 0 bitrate implying skip deeper into the codec,
rather than doing it at the multi-encoder API level. This preserves
v1.0.0 ABI compatibility, rather than forcing a bump to v2.0.0 over a
minor change. Also, this allows the case where the application can
selectively enable and disable the larger resolution(s) without having
to reinitialize the codec instace (for instance, if no target is
receiving the full resolution stream).
It's not clear how deep to push this check. It may be valuable to
allow the framerate adaptation code to run, for example. Currently put
the check as early as possible for simplicity, should reevaluate this
as this feature gains real use.

The ARNR filter uses a motion compensated temporal filter,

Rather than using the static default maximum keyframe spacing
provided by vpx_codec_enc_config_default() set the default

Race was introduced by https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/15563.
If loopfilter related config params were changed between frames, or
after a KEY frame, there could be a mismatch between encoder's and
decoder's recontructed image. In worst case, when frame buffers are
reallocated because of a size change, the loopfilter could
do an invalid data access (segmentation fault).
Fixes:
Sync with the loopfilter before applying any encoder changes in
vp8_change_config().
Moved the loopfilter synching to the top of
encode_frame_to_data_rate() so that it's done before any alteration of
the encoder.

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

This patch includes:
1. fixes to disable block based termporal mixing when motion
is detected (because this version of mfqe only handles zero motion).
2. The criterion used for determining whether to mix or
not are changed to use squared differences rather than
absolute differences.
3. Additional checks on color mismatch and excessive block
flatness added. If the block as decoded has very low activity
it is unlikely to yield benefits for mixing.

In cases where you have a flat background occluded by a moving object
of similar luminosity in the foreground, it was likely that the
foreground blocks would persist for a few frames after the background
is uncovered. This is particularly noticable when the object has a
different color than the background, so add the chroma planes in as an
additional check.
In addition, for block sizes of 8 and 16, the luma threshold is
applied on four subblocks independently, which helps when only part of
the background in the block has been uncovered.
This fixes issue #392, which includes a test clip to reproduce the
issue.

Reduced the size of the struct by 8 bytes, which would be
a memory savings of 64800 bytes for 1080 resolutions. Had
an extra byte, so created an is_4x4 for B_PRED or SPLITMV
modes. This simplified the mode checks in
vp8_reset_mb_tokens_context and vp8_decode_mb_tokens.

Found this bug while tracking down some anomalies in my experiments.
Since vp8_cost_one and vp8_cost_zero return unsigned int, the
bit shift by 8 will be incorrect if the value is negative.
I am cautiously optimistic that this fix will make the prob
updates more correct and somewhat improve results across the board.
But the update probabilities will need to be retuned I think.

This is a utility for applying a limited amount of style correction on
a change-by-change basis. Rather than a big-bang reformatting, this
tool attempts to only correct the style in diff hunks that you touch.
This should make the cosmetic changes small enough that we can mix them
with functional changes without destroying the diffs, and there's an
escape hatch for separating the reformatting to a second commit for
purists and cases where it hurts readability.
At this time, the script requires a clean working tree, so run it after
you've commited your changes. Run without arguments, the style
corrections will be applied and left unstaged in your working copy. It
also supports the --amend option, which will automatically amend your
HEAD with the corrected style, and --commit, which will create a new
change dependent on your HEAD that contains only the whitespace changes.
There are a number of ways this could be applied in an automated manner
if this proves to be useful, either on a project-wide or per-user
basis. This doesn't buy anything in terms of real code quality, the
intent here would be to keep formatting nits out of review comments in
favor of more meaningful ones and help people whose habitual style
doesn't match the baseline.
Requires astyle[1] 1.24 or newer.

When ac_yquant>171, a key frame is enabled to use 8x8 transform. In
such case, MBs with DC_PRED or TM_PRED are selected to use T8x8. This
change helped the full STD-HD set by ~.1% or so, which is reasonable

Deprecate fast quant and strict_quant code.
Small effect on quality as fast was used in first pass but the
effect is basically neutral across the derf set.
The rationale here is to reduce the number of code paths for

options can be re-introduced later along with other encode
speed options.

Various refactoring to make the subpel motion compensation
filters switchable by a frame level field.
Two types of 8-tap filters are supported in addition to the existing
bilinar and sixtap filters. One is the default 8-tap and the
other has a sharper cut-off for use with frames with substantial
edge content.

This change added a motion search skipping mechanism similar
to what we did in second pass. For a macroblock that is very
similar to the macroblock at same location on last frame,
we can set its mv to be zero, and skip motion search. This

This is a code snapshot of experimental work currently ongoing for a
next-generation codec.
The codebase has been cut down considerably from the libvpx baseline.
For example, we are currently only supporting VBR 2-pass rate control
and have removed most of the code relating to coding speed, threading,
error resilience, partitions and various other features. This is in
part to make the codebase easier to work on and experiment with, but
also because we want to have an open discussion about how the bitstream
will be structured and partitioned and not have that conversation
constrained by past work.
Our basic working pattern has been to initially encapsulate experiments
using configure options linked to #IF CONFIG_XXX statements in the
code. Once experiments have matured and we are reasonably happy that
they give benefit and can be merged without breaking other experiments,
we remove the conditional compile statements and merge them in.
Current changes include:
* Temporal coding experiment for segments (though still only 4 max, it
will likely be increased).
* Segment feature experiment - to allow various bits of information to
be coded at the segment level. Features tested so far include mode
and reference frame information, limiting end of block offset and
transform size, alongside Q and loop filter parameters, but this set
is very fluid.
* Support for 8x8 transform - 8x8 dct with 2nd order 2x2 haar is used
in MBs using 16x16 prediction modes within inter frames.
* Compound prediction (combination of signals from existing predictors
to create a new predictor).
* 8 tap interpolation filters and 1/8th pel motion vectors.
* Loop filter modifications.
* Various entropy modifications and changes to how entropy contexts and
updates are handled.
* Extended quantizer range matched to transform precision improvements.
There are also ongoing further experiments that we hope to merge in the
near future: For example, coding of motion and other aspects of the
prediction signal to better support larger image formats, use of larger
block sizes (e.g. 32x32 and up) and lossless non-transform based coding
options (especially for key frames). It is our hope that we will be
able to make regular updates and we will warmly welcome community
contributions.
Please be warned that, at this stage, the codebase is currently slower
than VP8 stable branch as most new code has not been optimized, and
even the 'C' has been deliberately written to be simple and obvious,
not fast.
The following graphs have the initial test results, numbers in the
tables measure the compression improvement in terms of percentage. The

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

This is the first patch for refactoring of the code related to

co-exist in the same bit-stream by use of a frame level flag.

only use of 1/8th pel mv, but there are some issues with the
mode switching in between. Subsequent patches on this change Id

Results on derf after ssse3 bugfix, compared to everything
enabled but the 8-tap, 1/8-subpel and 1/16-subpel uv. Overall the
gains are about 3% now. Hopefully there are no more bugs lingering.
Apparently the sse3 bug affected the quartel subpel results more than
the eighth pel ones (which is understandabale because one bad predictor
due to the bug, matters less if there are a lot more subpel options
available as in the 1/8 subpel case).
The results in the 4th column correspond to the current settings.
The first two columns correspond to two settings of adaptive switching
of the 1/4 or 1/8 subpel mode based on initial Q estimate. These
do not work as good as just using 1/8 all the time yet.

When we encode slide-show clips, for the majority of the time,
only ZEROMV mode is checked, and all other modes are skipped.
This change delayed uv intra-mode evaluation until intra mode is
actually checked. This gave big performance gain for slide-show
video encoding (2nd pass gain: 18% to 28%). But, this change
doesn't help other types of videos.
Also, zbin_mode_boost is adjusted in mode-checking loop, which
causes bitstream mismatch before/after this change when --best

This is the initial patch for supporting 1/8th pel
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:
http://www.corp.google.com/~debargha/vp8_results/enhinterp_hpmv.html
(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.
http://www.corp.google.com/~debargha/vp8_results/enhinterp_hd_hpmv.html
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:

When temporal layers is used (i.e., number_of_layers > 1),
we don't use the frame rate boost for setting the key
frame target size. The factor was forcing the target size to be
always at its minimum (2* per_frame_bandwidth) for low frame rates
(i.e., base layer frame rate).
Generally we should modify or remove this frame rate factor;
for now we turn if off for number_of_layers > 1.

Yunqing fixed an oddity in UVIntra skippable evaluation for stable
branch, which brought up the fact that the evaluation is broken.
The issue was that for MBs with 2nd order block, the eob for 1st
order blocks is set at 1. The previous evaluation did not take that
into account. This commit intend to fix the problem. The commit also
absorbed Yunqing's fix for UVIntra skippable evalution.
Test on hd showed some good gains in combination with LPF bias fix:

mode_info_context->mbmi.mb_skip_coeff has to always reflect the
existence or not of coeffs for a certain MB. The loopfilter needs this
info.
mb_skip_coeff is either set by the vp8_tokenize_mb or has to be set to
1 when the MB is skipped by mode selection. This has to be done
regardless of the mb_no_coeff_skip value.
prob_skip_false is needed just when mb_no_coeff_skip is 1. No need to
keep count of both skip_false and skip_true as they are complementary

The commit rationized and simplified the entropy context conversion
betwen MB using 8x8 transform and MB using 4x4 transform. The old version
had a number of weirdness in how 4x4 transform MB's context is used for

Add the ability to specify multiple output streams on the command line.
Streams are delimited by --, and most parameters inherit from previous
streams.
In this implementation, resizing streams is still not supported. It
does not make use of the new multistream support in the encoder either.
Two pass support runs all streams independently, though it's
theoretically possible that we could combine firstpass runs in the
future. The logic required for this is too tricky to do as part of this
initial implementation. This is mostly an effort to get the parameter
passing and independent streams working from the application's
perspective, and a later commit will add the rescaling and
multiresolution support.

Refactoring some of the mode decoding logic introduced a bug where
the segmentation maps would not be properly reset on keyframes.
http://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=378
The text of the bug is somewhat misleading as I initially read it to
imply the bug was present in v0.9.7-p1 (Cayuga), but note the text
"master", which indicates this was something subsequent. This issue
bisects back to v0.9.7-p1-84-ga99c20c, so unfortunately it was broken
during the Duclair release.

Previously, the scaling related to extended quantize range happens in
dequantization stage, which implies the coefficients form forward
transform are in different scale(4x) from dequantization coefficients
This worked fine when there was not distortion computation done based
on 8x8 transform, but it completely wracked the distortion estimation
based on transform coefficients and dequantized transform coefficients
introduced in commit f64725a00 for macroblocks using 8x8 transform.
This commit fixed the issue by moving the scaling into the stage of
inverse 8x8 transform.

Second shot at this...
Sync with loopfilter thread as late as possible, usually just at the
beginning of next frame encoding. This returns control to application
faster and allows a better multicore scaling.
When PSNR packets are generated the final filtered frame is needed
imediatly so we cannot delay the sync. Same has to be done when
internal frame is previewed.

I'm basically not convinced that the concept works at all, let alone
that this is the right place to do it. I think if we want something
like this at all, I should integrate it with the main encoding loop
and re-encode checks in onyx_if.c, and show that it has a significant
benefit (which right now, it doesn't; removing this re-encode check
actually increases all metrics by ~0.15%).

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

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.

Added a frame level flag to indicate if coef probabilities are updated
at all for the frame.
During the experimental work with 8x8 transform, it is discovered that
even in the case of no probability is ever update, cost of transmitting
"no update" for each of probabilities can run up to become a significant
overhead cost. A single bit to indicate no-update for all coef probs
is therefore helpful, which is also demonstrated by the test results:
1. On Cif set:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/cif_t8x8_updprob.html
(avg psnr: .14%, glb psnr: .14% SSIM: .13%)
2. On HD set:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/HD_t8x8_updprob.html
(avg psnr: .02% glb psnr: .01% SSIM: .02%)
It should be noted that the gain on HD is smaller because the average bit
rate is much higher in contrast to the overhead bit cost.

In summary, this commit encompasses a series of changes in attempt to
improve the 8x8 transform based coding to help overall compression
quality, please refer to the detailed commit history below for what
are the rationale underly the series of changes:
a. A frame level flag to indicate if 8x8 transform is used at all.
b. 8x8 transform is not used for key frames and small image size.
c. On inter coded frame, macroblocks using modes B_PRED, SPLIT_MV
and I8X8_PRED are forced to using 4x4 transform based coding, the
rest uses 8x8 transform based coding.
d. Encoder and decoder has the same assumption on the relationship
between prediction modes and transform size, therefore no signaling
is encoded in bitstream.
e. Mode decision process now calculate the rate and distortion scores
using their respective transforms.
Overall test results:
1. HD set
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/HD_t8x8_20120206.html
(avg psnr: 3.09% glb psnr: 3.22%, ssim: 3.90%)
2. Cif set:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/cif_t8x8_20120206.html
(avg psnr: -0.03%, glb psnr: -0.02%, ssim: -0.04%)
It should be noted here, as 8x8 transform coding itself is disabled
for cif size clips, the 0.03% loss is purely from the 1 bit/frame
flag overhead on if 8x8 transform is used or not for the frame.
---patch history for future reference---
Patch 1:
this commit tries to select transform size based on macroblock
prediction mode. If the size of a prediction mode is 16x16, then
the macroblock is forced to use 8x8 transform. If the prediction
mode is B_PRED, SPLITMV or I8X8_PRED, then the macroblock is forced
to use 4x4 transform. Tests on the following HD clips showed mixed
results: (all hd clips only used first 100 frames in the test)
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/hdmodebased8x8.htmlhttp://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/hdmodebased8x8_log.html
while the results are mixed and overall negative, it is interesting to
see 8x8 helped a few of the clips.
Patch 2:
this patch tries to hard-wire selection of transform size based on
prediction modes without using segmentation to signal the transform size.
encoder and decoder both takes the same assumption that all macroblocks
use 8x8 transform except when prediciton mode is B_PRED, I8X8_PRED or
SPLITMV. Test results are as follows:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/cifmodebase8x8_0125.htmlhttp://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/hdmodebased8x8_0125log.html
Interestingly, by removing the overhead or coding the segmentation, the
results on this limited HD set have turn positive on average.
Patch 3:
this patch disabled the usage of 8x8 transform on key frames, and kept the
logic from patch 2 for inter frames only. test results on HD set turned
decidedly positive with 8x8 transform enabled on inter frame with 16x16
prediction modes: (avg psnr: .81% glb psnr: .82 ssim: .55%)
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/hdintermode8x8_0125.html
results on cif set still negative overall
Patch 4:
continued from last patch, but now in mode decision process, the rate and
distortion estimates are computed based on 8x8 transform results for MBs
with modes associated with 8x8 transform. This patch also fixed a problem
related to segment based eob coding when 8x8 transform is used. The patch
significantly improved the results on HD clips:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/hd8x8RDintermode.html
(avg psnr: 2.70% glb psnr: 2.76% ssim: 3.34%)
results on cif also improved, though they are still negative compared to
baseline that uses 4x4 transform only:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/cif8x8RDintermode.html
(avg psnr: -.78% glb psnr: -.86% ssim: -.19%)
Patch 5:
This patch does 3 things:
a. a bunch of decoder bug fixes, encodings and decodings were verified
to have matched recon buffer on a number of encodes on cif size mobile and
hd version of _pedestrian.
b. the patch further improved the rate distortion calculation of MBS that
use 8x8 transform. This provided some further gain on compression.
c. the patch also got the experimental work SEG_LVL_EOB to work with 8x8
transformed macroblock, test results indicates it improves the cif set
but hurt the HD set slightly.
Tests results on HD clips:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/HD_t8x8_20120201.html
(avg psnr: 3.19% glb psnr: 3.30% ssim: 3.93%)
Test results on cif clips:
http://www.corp.google.com/~yaowu/no_crawl/t8x8/cif_t8x8_20120201.html
(avg psnr: -.47% glb psnr: -.51% ssim: +.28%)
Patch 6:
Added a frame level flag to indicate if 8x8 transform is allowed at all.
temporarily the decision is based on frame size, can be optimized later
one. This get the cif results to basically unchanged, with one bit per
frame overhead on both cif and hd clips.
Patch 8:
Rebase and Merge to head by PGW.
Fixed some suspect 4s that look like hey should be 64s in regard
to segmented EOB. Perhaps #defines would be bette.
Bulit and tested without T8x8 enabled and produces unchanged
output.
Patch 9:
Corrected misalligned code/decode of "txfm_mode" bit.
Limited testing for correct encode and decode with
T8x8 configured on derf clips.

In the variance calculations the difference is summed and later squared.
When the sum exceeds sqrt(2^31) the value is treated as a negative when
it is shifted which gives incorrect results.
To fix this we cast the result of the multiplication as unsigned.
The alternative fix is to shift sum down by 4 before multiplying.
However that will reduce precision.
For 16x16 blocks the maximum sum is 65280 and sqrt(2^31) is 46340 (and
change).

The existing code updated the reference frame probabilities before
the test to evaluate the impact of using updated probabilities
in vp8_estimate_entropy_savings().
The estimate of cost and savings is still basic and does not reflect
the new prediction code but this would require per MB costings
and the benefit is probably marginal, as this is really just used for
rate estimation in the loop.

Initial modifications to make limited use of common prediction

Trial of a modified prediction function that ranks each possible
reference frame based on a combination of local usage and
frame level probability. The code is a bit cleaner and simpler.
In direct comparison with old unpredicted method with segment level
coding turned off for mode,ref & EOB the prediction gives a gain on derf
of around 0.4%. There is some further gain from bug fixes over earlier code.
With segment coding on the prediction method is slightly -ve on some very
easy clips (at low rates) due to slightly higher overheads, but better on harder
clips. Overall neutral on derf in direct comparison on latest code base, but
compared to earlier code without bug fixes about +0.7% overall psnr
+0.3% SSIM.

Sometimes, a user doesn't have enough bandwidth to send high-resolution
(i.e. HD) video even though the camera catches HD video. This change
allowed users to skip highest-resolution encoding by setting that level's
target bit rate to 0.
To test it, modify the following line in vp8_multi_resolution_encoder.c.
unsigned int target_bitrate[NUM_ENCODERS]={1400, 500, 100};
To skip the highest-resolution level, change it to
unsigned int target_bitrate[NUM_ENCODERS]={0, 500, 100};
To skip the first and second highest resolution levels, change it to
unsigned int target_bitrate[NUM_ENCODERS]={0, 0, 100};
This change also fixed a small problem in mapping, which slightly helped
quality and performance.

As a precursor to encoding 32x32 blocks this cl adds the
ability to encode the frame superblock (=32x32 block) at
a time. Within a SB the 4 indiviual MBs are encoded in
raster-order (NW,NE,SW,SE).
This functionality is added as an experiment which can be
enabled by ispecifying --enable-superblocks in the
command line specified to configure (CONFIG_SUPERBLOCKS
macro in the code).
To make this work I had to disable the two intra
prediction modes that use data from the top-right of the
MB.
On the tests that I have run the results produce
almost exactly the same PSNRs & SSIMs with a very
slightly higher average data rate (and slightly higher
data rate than just disabling the two intra modes in
the original code).
NOTE: This will also break the multi-threaded code.
This replaces the abandoned change:

This is a proof of concept RTCD implementation to replace the current
system of nested includes, prototypes, INVOKE macros, etc. Currently
only the decoder specific functions are implemented in the new system.
Additional functions will be added in subsequent commits.
Overview:
RTCD "functions" are implemented as either a global function pointer
or a macro (when only one eligible specialization available).
Functions which have RTCD specializations are listed using a simple
DSL identifying the function's base name, its prototype, and the
architecture extensions that specializations are available for.
Advantages over the old system:
- No INVOKE macros. A call to an RTCD function looks like an ordinary
function call.
- No need to pass vtables around.
- If there is only one eligible function to call, the function is
called directly, rather than indirecting through a function pointer.
- Supports the notion of "required" extensions, so in combination with
the above, on x86_64 if the best function available is sse2 or lower
it will be called directly, since all x86_64 platforms implement
sse2.
- Elides all references to functions which will never be called, which
could reduce binary size. For example if sse2 is required and there
are both mmx and sse2 implementations of a certain function, the
code will have no link time references to the mmx code.
- Significantly easier to add a new function, just one file to edit.
Disadvantages:
- Requires global writable data (though this is not a new requirement)
- 1 new generated source file.

Commit e06c242ba introduced a change to call vp8_find_near_mvs() only
once instead of once per reference frame by observing that the only
effect that the frame had was on the bias applied to the motion
vector. By keeping track of the sign_bias value, the mv to use could
be flip-flopped by multiplying its components by -1.
This behavior was subtley wrong in the case when clamping was applied
to the motion vectors found by vp8_find_near_mvs(). A motion vector
could be in-bounds with one sign bias, but out of bounds after
inverting the sign, or vice versa. The clamping must match that done
by the decoder.
This change modifies vp8_find_near_mvs() to remove the clamping from
that function. The vp8_pick_inter_mode() and vp8_rd_pick_inter_mode()
functions instead track the correctly clamped values for both bias
values, switching between them by simple assignment. The common
clamping and inversion code is in vp8_find_near_mvs_bias()

The commit adds a new set of loop filter for macroblock edge filtering.
The new loop filter has a mask to detect so-called "flat" regions. The
detection checks 5 pixels of each side of an edge. If the all pixels
have value with +/-1 from the edge pixel on the same side, the region
is treated as a "flat" region. For such case, a 7 tap filter is used
to change 3 pixel values on each side. The 7 taps are:
[1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1]/8
The furthest away pixels used as input are +/-5 away from edge. For
non-flat region, we fall back to old filtering. It should be noted
here that the thresholds and filter taps may require more optimization
for best possible results.

A problem can arise on static clips with force key frames where
attempts to avoid popping lead to a progressive reduction in key
frame Q that ultimately may lead to unexpected overspend against
the rate target.
The changes in this patch help to insure that in such clips the
quality of the key frames across the clip is more uniform (rather
than starting bad and getting better - especially at low target rates).
This patch also includes a fix that removes a delta on the Y2DC
when the baseline q index < 4 as this is no longer needed.
There is also a fix to try and prevent repeat single step Q adjustment in
the recode loop leading to lots of recodes, especially where the use
of forced skips as part of segmentation has made the impact of Q on
the number of bits generated much smaller.

The default maximum keyframe interval is 9999, or over five minutes
at normal video rates. When the encoder produces streams with such
a long interval seeking (with correct output) is more expensive,
and live streaming is impossible.
Of course the encoding application should set this parameter
based on its knowledge of the intended use of the stream, but
reducing the default gives better results for applications
which do not.

This commit extends the number of Q steps to 256 from 128.
The q_trans[] array has been altered to distribute available Q index values
(using the current 64 steps available as input parameters) evenly across the

now equates to a fixed % change in the quantizer. This may want refinement

reasonable starting point.

The total_stats, this_frame_stats, and total_left_stats structures
were previously create by a heap allocation, despite being of fixed
size. These structures were allocated and deallocated during
{de,}allocate_compressor_data, which is reinvoked whenever the frame
size changes. Unfortunately, this clobbers the total_stats and
total_left_stats data.
Historically, these were variable size at one time, due to the first
pass motion map, which necessitated their being created by a unique
heap allocation. However, this bug with the total_stats being
clobbered has probably been present since that initial implementation.
These structures are instead moved to be stored within the struct
twopass_rc directly, rather than being heap allocated separately.

This patch introduces the concept of dual inter16x16 prediction. A
16x16 inter-predicted macroblock can use 2 references instead of 1,
where both references use the same mvmode (new, near/est, zero). In the
case of newmv, this means that two MVs are coded instead of one. The
frame can be encoded in 3 ways: all MBs single-prediction, all MBs dual
prediction, or per-MB single/dual prediction selection ("hybrid"), in
which case a single bit is coded per-MB to indicate whether the MB uses
single or dual inter prediction.
In the future, we can (maybe?) get further gains by mixing this with
Adrian's 32x32 work, per-segment dual prediction settings, or adding
support for dual splitmv/8x8mv inter prediction.
Gain (on derf-set, CQ mode) is ~2.8% (SSIM) or ~3.6% (glb PSNR). Most
gain is at medium/high bitrates, but there's minor gains at low bitrates
also. Output was confirmed to match between encoder and decoder.
Note for optimization people: this patch introduces a 2nd version of

Resolved or factored out some further issues with Q index.
Put in a 3rd order polynomial instead of less accurate power function
as the best fit on gf and kf boost adjustment.
Added avg_q value to use instead of ni_av_qi.
Compute segment delta Q values based on avg_q.
Fixed bug in adjust_maxq_qrange().
The extended range Q on the derf set, using standard data rates
(which do not extend high enough to get big benefits) still show
a shortfall of between 0.5 and 1% though so there would appear to
be further issues that need to be tracked down.

Added two experimental options to the configure script:
1. newnear:
new scheme of doing mv encoding that include a motion vector from
last frame in nearest and near mv search
2. mulcontext:
tracks entropy context separately for regular frames and alt ref
frames.

This commit added code to keep track of separate entropy contexts for
normal frames and alt ref frames. The underly assumption was that the
two type of frames have different entropy characteristics given they
typically have quite different quantization levels. By keeping entropy
contexts separate, it helps the entropy context distribution to be more
closely adapted to each frame type.
Tests on derf set showed a good and very consistent gain on all clips
on all metrics, avg psnr: 0.89%, overall psnr: 0.84% and ssim 0.93%.

This commit enabled the usage of 8x8 intra prediction modes on inter
frames. There are a few TODO items related to this: 1)baseline entropy
need be calibrated; 2)cost of UV need to be done more properly rather
than using decision only relying on Y; 3)Threshold for allowing picking
8x8 intra prediction should be lowered to lower than the B_PRED.
Even with all the TODOs, tests showed consistent gain on derf set ~0.1%
(PSNR:0.08% and SSIM:0.14%). It is assumed that 8x8 intra prediction
will help more on large resolution clips, especially with above TODOs
addressed.

Fixed some further QIndex related issues and replaced some tables
(eg zbin and rounding)
Also Added function (currently disabled by default) to populate the
main AC and DC quantizer tables. Using the original AC range the
resulting computed DC values give behavior broadly comparable
on the DERF set. That is not to say that the equations will hold good
over a more extended range. The purpose of this code is to make it
easier to experiment with further alterations to the Q range and distribution
of Q values plus the relative weights given to AC and DC.
The function find_fp_qindex() ensures that changes to the Q tables
are reflected in the value passed in to the first pass code.
Slight experimental adjustment to static segment Q offset.

This was passing in vp8_dc_quant(cm->base_qindex, cm->y1dc_delta_q)
instead of (cm->base_qindex + cm->y1dc_delta_q).
It just so happens that for the value 26 used for cm->base_qindex in the
unextended Q case, the two give similar results. However, when using
the extended Q range the two are very different.
Also added more stats output and partly disabled another broken feature.

This commit resolves further QIndex look up tables to facilitate
experimentation with the quantizer range.
In some cases rather than remove the look up tables completely
I have created functions that are called once to populate them
using a formulaic approach base on the actual quantizer.
The use of these functions based on best fit of data from the original
tables does affect the results on some clips but across the derf test
set the effect was broadly neutral.
Change-Id: I8baa61c97ce87dc09a6340d56fdeb681b9345793
One of the problems arising when tweaking or adjusting the quantizer
tables is that there are a lot of look up tables that depend on the QINDEX.
Any adjustment to the link between QINDEX and real quantizer therefore tends
to break aspects of for example the rate control.
In this check in I have replaced several of the look up tables with functions that
approximate the same results as the old Q luts but use a formulaic approach
based on real Q values rather than QIndex. This should hopefully make it easier
to experiment with changes to the Q tables without always having to go through
and hand optimize a set of look up tables. Once things stabilize we may choose
to re-instate luts for the sake of performance.
Patch 2:
Addressed Ronald's comments.
vp8_init_me_luts() Added so luts only initialized once.

Removal of CONFIGURE_SEGMENTATION ifdefs.
Removal of legacy support code fo the old coding mechanism.
Use local reference "xd" for MACROBLOCKD structure in
encode_frame_to_data_rate()
Moved call to choose_segmap_coding_method() out of encode
loop as the cost of segmentation is not properly accounted
in the loop anyway. If this is desirable in the future it
can be moved back. The use of this function to do all the
analysis and set the probabilities also removes the need
to track segment useage in threading code.
Change-Id: I85bc8fd63440e7176c73d26cb742698f9b70cade
Changed name and sense of segment_flag to "seg_id_predicted"
Added some additional comments and retested.
I also did some experimentation with a spatial prediction option
using a similar strategy to the temporal mode implemented.
This helps in some cases where temporal prediction is bad but
I suspect there is more overlap here with work on a larger scale
block structure and spatial correlation will likely be better
handled through that mechanism.
Next check in will remove #ifdefs and legacy mode code.
Change-Id: I3b382b65ed2a57bd7775ac0f3a01a9508a209cbc
This check in includes quite a lot of clean up and refactoring.
Most of the analysis and set up for the different coding options for the
segment map (currently simple distribution based coding or temporaly
predicted coding), has been moved to one location (the function
choose_segmap_coding_method() in segmenation.c). This code was previously
scattered around in various locations making integration with other
experiments and modification / debug more difficult.
Currently the functionality is as it was with the exception that the
prediction probabilities are now only transmitted when the temporal
prediction mode is selected.
There is still quite a bit more clean up work that will be possible
when the #ifdef is removed. Also at that time I may rename and alter
the sense of macroblock based variable "segment_flag" which indicates
(1 that the segmnet id is not predicted vs 0 that it is predicted).
I also intend to experiment with a spatial prediction mode that can be
used when coding a key frame segment map or in cases where temporal
prediction does not work well but there is spatial correlation.
In a later check in when the ifdefs have gone I may also move the call
to choose_segmap_coding_method() to just before where the bitsream is
packed (currently it is in vp8_encode_frame()) to further reduce the
possibility of clashes with other experiments and prevent it being called
on each itteration of the recode loop.

Added last_segmentation_map[] structure
to keep track of what we had before when
doing temporal prediction. With this change
the existing code does once again appear to
be giving a decodable bitstream for both
temporal and standard prediction modes.
However, it is still somewhat messy and
confused and there is no option to take
advantage of spatial prediction so it could
do with further work.
Some housekeeping / clean out.
Change-Id: I368258243f82127b81d8dffa7ada615208513b47
Some initial cleanup to aid testing and debug.
Pull code to choose temporal or spatial encoding

For now disable broken temporal mode.
Move the coding of "temporal_update" flag and
only transmit if segment map update is indicated.
Rename the functions read_mb_features() and
write_mb_features() to read_mb_segid() and
read_mb_segid() as they only read and write
the macroblock segment id not any of the
features.

For ease of testing and merging experiments I have
removed in line code in encode_frame() that assigns
MBs to be t8x8 or t4x4 coded segments and have
moved the decision point and segment setup to
the init_seg_features0 test function.
Keeping everything in one place helps make sure
for now that experiments using segmentation are
not fighting each other.
Also made sure mode selection code can't choose 4x4
modes if t8x8 is selected.

Updates to the segment feature data structure now all done

In addition it provides a single location for subsequent addition

This commit tries to do UV intra mode coding adaptive to Y intra mode.
Entropy context is defined as conditional PDF of uv intra mode given

Some correction for entropy impact of segment signaled (EOB and ref frame)
Other slight tweaks.
Derf VBR average gain now over 1% (best over 7%)
One YT test clip has gains of circa 30% (VBR)
There is still an issue with noisy clips where making the background static
and coded with 0,0 can have a negative effect, especially at low Q.
This is probably because of the loss of smoothing by fractional pixel filters.

Prior to the added rounding, tests on randomly generated data showed
that forward-inverse transform round trip errors are about 3.02/block
for input range [-10,10] and 2.68/block for input range [-256, 255].
The added rounding reduced the errors to 0.031/block for input range
[-10,10] and 0.037/block for input range [-256, 255].
Maximum round trip error on for any pixel position is 1.
The average errors are calculated based on 100,000 blocks of randomly
with the specified ranges.
Paul mentioned in discussion that the change was not clear on why we
need change the rounding, so Patch 2 intends to make the rationale
obvious in code, it merged the two separate shifts into one, and the
two separate rounding factors into one. Patch 1 and 2 have same
numerical test results.

This quite large check in includes the following:
Merge in some code from Ronald (mbgraph.c) that scans a Gf/arf group.
This is used as a basis for a simple segmentation for the normal frames
in a gf/arf group. This code also uses satd functions from Yaowu.
Adds functionality for coding the latest possible position of an EOB for
blocks in the segment. (Currently 0-15 only, hence just for 4x4 dct).
Where the EOB position is 0 this acts like "skip" and the normal coding
of skip at the per mb level is disabled.
Added functions (seg_common.c) for setting and reading segment feature
elements. These may want to be optimized away at some point but while the
mecahnism is in a state of flux they provide a single location for making
changes and keep things a bit cleaner.
This is still proof of concept code. Currently the tested feature set:-
Quantizer,
Loop Filter level,
Reference frame,
Prediction Mode,
EOB end stop.
TBD:-
Add functions for setting and reading the feature data with range
and validity checking.
Handling of signed and unsigned feature data. At the moment all is assumed
to be signed and a sign bit is coded but many cannot be negative.
Correct handling of EOB feature with intra coded blocks.
Testing/trapping of legal/illegal ref frame and mode combinations.

This commit added a 3 bit index to the bitstream, the index is used to
look into the intra mode coding entropy context table. The commit uses
the mode stats to calculate the cost of transmitting modes using 8
possible entropy distributions, and selects the distribution that
provides the lowest cost to do the actual mode coding.
Initial test show this provides additional .2%~.3% gain over quantizer
adaptive intra mode coding. So the adaptive intra mode coding provides
a total of .5%(psnr) to .6% gain(ssim) combined for all-key-encoding

Prior to this change, VP8 min quantizer is 4, which caps the
highest quality around 51DB. This experimental change extends
the min quantizer to 1, removes the cap and allows the highest
quality to be around ~73DB, consistent with the fdct/idct round trip
error. To test this change, at configure time use options:
--enable-experimental --enable-extend_qrange
The following is a brief log of changes in each of the patch sets
patch set 1:
In this commit, the quantization/dequantization constants are kept
unchanged, instead scaling factor 4 is rolled into fdct/idct.
Fixed Q0 encoding tests on mobile:
Before: 9560.567kbps Overall PSNR:50.255DB VPXSSIM:98.288
Now: 18035.774kbps Overall PSNR:73.022DB VPXSSIM:99.991
patch set 2:
regenerated dc/ac quantizer lookup tables based on the scaling
factor rolled in the fdct/idct. Also slightly extended the range
towards the high quantizer end.
patch set 3:
slightly tweaked the quantizer tables and generated bits_per_mb
table based on Paul's suggestions.
patch set 4:
fix a typo in idct, re-calculated tables relating active max Q
to active min Q
patch set 5:
added rdmult lookup table based on Q
patch set 6:
fix rdmult scale: dct coefficient has scaled up by 4
patch set 7:
make transform coefficients to be within 16bits
patch set 8:
normalize 2nd order quantizers
patch set 9:
fix mis-spellings
patch set 10:
change the configure script and macros to allow experimental code
to be enabled at configure time with --enable-extend_qrange
patch set 11:
rebase for merge

In the process of developing new intra prediction modes, tests have
shown removal of the low pass filtering from B_HE_PRED and B_VE_PRED
has an overall minor positive impact in both PSNR and SSIM metric.
Overall difference is about 0.1%. The change shall also have a small
positive impact on speed. Intuitively, this change should also reduce
some of the tendency of "flattening"

Changing the MAX_PSNR to 100 to allow testing of further experiments
on extending quantizer range to near lossless. With an effective
quantizer of 1, encoder achieves ~68DB, which is consistent with
fdct/idct round trip error.

Extending the value range of tokens allows further experiments on
extending quantizer range. Encoder and decoder were verified to
produce matching reconstructed buffers by tests with forced
quantized value of 1.

- Used three probability approach for temporal context as follows:
P0 - probability of no change if both above and left not changed
P1 - probability of no change if one of above and left has changed
P2 - probability of no change if both above and left have changed
In addition, a 1 bit/frame has been used to decide whether to use temporal context or to encode directly. The cost of using both the schemes is calculated ahead and the temporal_update flag is set if the cost of using temporal context is lower than encoding the segment ids directly.
This approach has given around 20% reduction in cost of bits needed to encode segmentation ids.
Change-Id: I44a5509599eded215ae5be9554314280d3d35405
Modified code so that:
-When above and left contexts are same and not equal to current segment id, it needs to read a maximum of 2 segment_tree_probabilities.
- When above and left contexts are different and not equal to current segment id, it needs to read only a single segment_tree_probability.
Change-Id: Idc2cf2c4afcc6179b8162ac5a32c948ff5a9a2ba
-Updates by making use of spatial correlation.
-Checks if the segment_id is same as above or left context and encodes only the update to the map instead of updating individual segment_ids.

This patch creates some basic infrastructure for doing bitstream-
incompatible changes to the VP8 encoder. The key parts are:
- --enable-experimental configure switch, to enable support for this
incompatible bitstream. This switch is required to be set to enable
any "experiments"
- A list for "experiments" which translate into --enable-<experiment>
options and CONFIG_<experiment> macros.
- The high bit of the "Version" field is used to indicate that the
bitstream was produced by an experimental encoder. The decoder will
fail to decode an experimental bitstream without
--enable-experimental.
- A new "vp8x" encoder interface is created to set the experimental
bit.
- The vp8x encoder interface is made the default for ivfenc in
experimental mode.
