2011-01-14Experimental change to help with ARNR problem.Paul Wilkins
Allow use of other reference frames for the ARF overlay frame when ARNR filtering is enabled Change-Id: Icd6a9fb38977a88fbe7cc9b9c18198eb454c0273
2011-01-13Merge "Moved ref frame calculations"Scott LaVarnway
2011-01-13One pass rate control correction.Paul Wilkins
Fixed discrepancy cpi->ni_frames vs cm->current_video_frame > 150. Make one pass path explicit. There is still scope for some odd behaviour around the transition point at cpi->ni_frames > 150. Change-Id: Icdee130fe6e2a832206d30e45bf65963edd7a74d
2011-01-12Limit key frame quantizer for forced key frames.Paul Wilkins
Where a key frame occurs because of a minimum interval selected by the user, then these forced key frames ideally need to be more closely matched in quality to the surrounding frame. Change-Id: Ia55b1f047e77dc7fbd78379c45869554f25b3df7
2011-01-11Moved ref frame calculationsScott LaVarnway

2011-01-11Add no_skip_block4x4_search flag in SPLITMV modeYunqing Wang
Add a flag to always enable block4x4 search for speed=0 (good quality) to guarantee no quality loss for speed0. Change-Id: Ie04bbc25f7e6a33a7bfa30e05775d33148731c81
2011-01-11Remove unused local variablesHenrik Lundin
Removing unused local variables causing compiler warnings in Visual Studio. Change-Id: I0e2096303be1fdbc01428a6e57cca9796bb32c8a
2011-01-10Fix bug in motion searchYunqing Wang
The maximum possible MV in 1/8 pel units is (1<<11), which could cause mvcost out of its range that is 1023. Change maximum possible MV in 1/8 pel units to (1<<11)-8 will fix this problem. Change-Id: I5788ed1de773f66658c14f225fb4ab5b1679b74b
2011-01-10Two Pass VBR changePaul Wilkins
Further experiment with restriction of the Q range. This uses the average non KF/GF/ARF quantizer, instead of just relying on the initial value. It is not such a strong constraint but there may be a reduced risk of rate misses. Change-Id: I424fe782a37a2f4e18c70805e240db55bfaa25ec
2011-01-10Revert BASE_ERRPERMBPaul Wilkins
Constant value reverted pending more tests on different video formats. Change-Id: I07d11a0e0185e60724698c835416caf2e0774e61
2011-01-07Merge "CQ Mode"Paul Wilkins
2011-01-07CQ ModePaul Wilkins
The merge includes hooks to for CQ mode and other code changes merged from the test branch. CQ mode attempts to maintain a more stable quantizer within a clip whilst also trying to adhere to a guidline maximum bitrate. The existing target data rate parameter is used to specify the guideline maximum bitrate. A new parameter allows the user to specify a target CQ level. For normal (non kf/gf/arf) frames, the quantizer will not drop BELOW the user specified value (0-63). However, in some cases the encoder may choose to impose a target CQ that is above that specified by the user, if it estimates that consistent use of the target value is not compatible with guideline maximum bitrate.

2011-01-07Merge "Limit Q variability in two pass."Paul Wilkins
2011-01-07Limit Q variability in two pass.Paul Wilkins
In two pass encoding each frame is given an active Q range to work with. This change limits how much this Q range can be altered over time from the initial estimate made for the clip as a whole. There is some danger this could lead to overshoot or undershoot in some corner cases but it helps considerably in regard to clips where either there is a glut or famine of bits in some sections, particularly near the end of a clip.

cpi->target_bits_per_mb is currently not being used, so delete it. Also removed other unused code in rdopt.c. Change-Id: I98449f9030bcd2f15451d9b7a3b9b93dd1409923
2011-01-06x86 sse2 temporal_filter_applyJohann
count can be reduced to short because the max number of filtered frames is set to 15. the max value for any frame is 32 (modifier = 16, filter_weight = 2). 15*32 = 480 which requires 9 bits this function goes from about 7000 us / 1000 iterations for the C code to < 275 us / 1000 iterations for sse2 for block_size = 16 and from about 1800 us / 1000 iters to < 100 us / 1000 iters for block_size = 8 Change-Id: I64a32607f58a2d33c39286f468b04ccd457d9e6e
2011-01-06Disable some features for first pass.Paul Wilkins
The following features don't make sense for the first pass in its current form and have a significant impact on its speed (up to 50%). Slow quantizer, slow dct and trellis optimization. Change-Id: Id9943f6765ffbd71fc0084ec7dfbc9d376fd6fcd
2011-01-04Adjustment to boost calculation in two pass.Paul Wilkins
Calculate a minimum intra value to be used in determining the IIratio scores used in two pass, second pass. This is to make sure sections that are low complexity" in the intra domain are still boosted appropriately for KF/GF/ARF. For now I have commented out the Q based adjustment of KF boost.

Happens in real-time mode. Will happen in good quality, speed 1. Change-Id: I3e5b68827b1a5798d0431b088a709256d1ce2c95
2010-12-29Always update last_frame_typeYunqing Wang
Scott pointed out that last_frame_type only gets updated while loopfilter exists. Since last_frame_type is also needed in motion search now, it needs to be updated every frame. Change-Id: I9203532fd67361588d4024628d9ddb8e391ad912
2010-12-28Merge "Use the fast quantizer for inter mode selection"Scott LaVarnway
2010-12-28Use the fast quantizer for inter mode selectionScott LaVarnway
Use the fast quantizer for inter mode selection and the regular quantizer for the rest of the encode for good quality, speed 1. Both performance and quality were improved. The quality gains will make up for the quality loss mentioned in I9dc089007ca08129fb6c11fe7692777ebb8647b0. Change-Id: Ia90bc9cf326a7c65d60d31fa32f6465ab6984d21

2010-12-28Merge "Modify motion estimation for SPLITMV mode"Yunqing Wang
2010-12-28Modify motion estimation for SPLITMV modeYunqing Wang
1. Search for block8x16/block16x8 uses block8x8's search results. 2. Check block4x4 only if block8x8 is chosen. (This hurts quality, which will be improved in another check-in.) 3. In block4x4 search, the previous block's result is used as MV predictor for next block. This change improves performance. Change-Id: I9dc089007ca08129fb6c11fe7692777ebb8647b0

2010-12-23adjusted sad_per_bit to correlate with quantizerYaowu Xu
Re-calibrated sad_per_bit16 and sad_per_bit4 tables to linearly correlated to quantizer values, these two variables are used in motion search for costing motion vectors. This change has an small positive effect on compression. Change-Id: Ic9b5ea6fb8d5078ef663ba4899db019cc51f4166

2010-12-22improve integer version of filterJohann
the lookup table is based on floating point calculations (see source) by moving the *3 before the downshift and adding the rounding bit, the delta (LUT - integer) goes from: ______________________________________ __ 1__ 1______________________________ __ 1__ 1______________________________ ____ 1______ 1________________________ ____ 1 2__ 2 1________________________ ______ 1 1 2__ 2__ 2__ 2 1 1__________ ________ 1 1 2 2__ 1 2 3 1 2__ 2__ 2__ to: __-1__-1______________________________ ______________________________________ ____-1______-1________________________ ______________________________________ ________-1______________-1____________ ______________________________________ it's important to be able to use the integer version because the LUT more or less precludes SIMD optimizations Change-Id: I45a81127dc7b72a06fba951649135d9d918386c0

2010-12-22abstract apply_temporal_filterJohann
allow for optimized versions of apply_temporal_filter (now vp8_apply_temporal_filter_c) the function was previously declared as static and appears to have been inlined. with this change, that's no longer possible. performance takes a small hit. the declaration for vp8_cx_temp_filter_c was moved to onyx_if.c because of a circular dependency. for rtcd, temporal_filter.h holds the definition for the rtcd table, so it needs to be included by onyx_int.h. however, onyx_int.h holds the definition for VP8_COMP which is needed for the function prototype. blah.

The pointer passed in the user_priv argument to vpx_codec_decode() should be propagated through to the corresponding output frame and made available in the image's user_priv member. Fixes issue #252 Change-Id: I182746a6882c8549fb146b4a4fdb64f1789eb750
2010-12-17Merge "Inform caller of decoder about updated references"John Koleszar
2010-12-17Add psnr/ssim tuning optionJohn Koleszar
Add a new encoder control, VP8E_SET_TUNING, to allow the application to inform the encoder that the material will benefit from certain tuning. Expose this control as the --tune option to vpxenc. The args helper is expanded to support enumerated arguments by name or value. Two tunings are provided by this patch, PSNR (default) and SSIM. Activity masking is made dependent on setting --tune=ssim, as the current implementation hurts speed (10%) and PSNR (2.7% avg, 10% peak) too much for it to be a default yet.

2010-12-17Inform caller of decoder about updated referencesHenrik Lundin
Inform the caller of the decoder if a decoded frame updated last, golden, or altref frames, required for realtime communication proposed in document VP8 RTP payload format. Added a new vpx_codec_control called VP8D_GET_LAST_REF_UPDATES, to be called after vpx_codec_decode. The control will indicate which of the reference frames that were updated by setting the 3 LSBs in the input int (pointer). Change-Id: Iac9db60dac414356c7ffa0b0fede88cb91e11bd7
2010-12-16Changed segmentation check orderScott LaVarnway
In SPLITMV, the 8x8 segment will be checked first. If the 8x8 rd is better than the best, we check the other segments. Otherwise bail. Adjustments to the thresh_mult were necessary to make up for the initial quality loss. The performance improved by 20% (average) for good quality, speed 0 and speed 1, while the overall quality remained the same. Change-Id: I717aef401323c8a254fba3e9777d2a316c774cc3

2010-12-14Fix a bug in motion search code(2)Yunqing Wang
This fix added MV range checks for NEWMV mode as suggested by Jim. To reduce unnecessary MV range checks, I tried Yaowu's suggestion. Update UMV borders in NEWMV mode to also cover MV range check. Also, in this way, every MV that is valid gets checked in diamond search function. Change-Id: I95a89ce0daf6f178c454448f13d4249f19b30f3a
