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.

Enable ADST/DCT of dimension 16x16 for I16X16 modes. This change provides
benefits mostly for hd sequences.
Set up the framework for selectable transform dimension.
Also allowing quantization parameter threshold to control the use
of hybrid transform (This is currently disabled by setting threshold
always above the quantization parameter. Adaptive thresholding can
be built upon this, which will further improve the coding performance.)
The coding performance gains (with respect to the codec that has all
other configuration settings turned on) are
derf: 0.013
yt: 0.086
hd: 0.198
std-hd: 0.501

Alternative strategy for finding a list of candidate motion
vectors to use as reference values in mv coding and as
nearest and near.
Sort by sad in vp8_find_best_ref_mvs() rather than just
pick the best. Allow 0,0 as a best ref option but not a
nearest or near unless there are no alternatives.
Encode/Decode verified on at least some clips.
Some commented out experimental and stats code still in place.
Gain over existing code averages about 1% on derf (alll metrics)
with improvement on all clips. Other test results pending.
The entropy coding of the mode (nearest/near etc) still
depends upon and requires the old "findnear" code so
this needs looking at and may provide room for further gains.

Fixed the code review comments.
Under the htrans8x8 experiment the 8X8 DCT in the
I8X8 mode is replaced with a combination of 8X8 ADST and
DCT.
Overall coding gains with the htrans8x8 experiment are:
derf: 0.486
std-hd: 1.040
hd: 1.063
yt: 0.506
Note that part of the gain comes from bigger transforms
(8x8 instead of 4x4) and part comes from replacing the DCT
wth the ADST.

Merged the enhanced_interp experiment.
Found and fixed a bug in the include files framework, whereby
certain encoder files were still using the old INTERP_EXTEND
value of 3 instead of 4. The thresholds for mv range mcomp.c
need a small adjustment to prevent crashes.
The results are more or less unchanged.

Allows for swtiching/setting interpolation filters at the MB
level. A frame level flag indicates whether to use a specifc
filter for the entire frame or to signal the interpolation
filter for each MB. When switchable filters are used, the
encoder chooses between 8-tap and 8-tap sharp filters. The
code currently has options to explore other variations as well,
which will be cleaned up subsequently.
One issue with the framework is that encoding is slow. I
tried to do some tricks to speed things up but it is still slow.
Decoding speed should not be affected since the number of
filter taps remain unchanged.
With the current version, we are up 0.5% on derf on average but
some videos city/mobile improve by close to 4 and 2% respectively.
If we did a full-search by turning the SEARCH_BEST_FILTER flag
on, the results are somewhat better.
The framework can be combined with filtered prediction, and I
seek feedback regarding that.
Rebased.

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.

Added the ability to optionally filter the prediction data
when inter modes are selected (excludes SPLITMV, for now).
The mode selection loop considers both the filtered and
non-filtered prediction data when choosing mode. The filter
can be turned on/off at the frame-level, or signaled for
each MB.

This patch incorporates adaptive entropy coding of coefficient tokens,
and mode/mv information based on distributions encountered in a frame.
Specifically, there is an initial forward update to the probabilities
in the bitstream as before for coding the symbols in the frame, however
at the end of decoding each frame, the forward update to the
probabilities is reverted and instead the probabilities are updated
towards the actual distributions encountered within the frame.
The amount of update is weighted by the number of hits within each
context.
Results on derf/hd/std-hd are all up by 1.6%.
On derf, the most of the gains come from coefficients, however for the
hd and std-hd sets, the most of the gains come from the mode/mv
information updates.

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

This patch expands the set of prev contexts used for video coding
from 3 to 4.
There is a small improvement of the order of 0.08% for derf and
0.15% on the HD set. The tests were rerun after the various merges
last week. There are two columns in each test - the first are the
results with the mbskip change, and the second with expanded contexts
added on top of that.

This is the first patch to add superblock (32x32) coding
order capabilities. It does not yet do any mode selection
at the SB level, that will follow in a further patch.
This patch encodes rows of SBs rather than
MBs, each SB contains 2x2 MBs.
Two intra prediction modes have been disabled since they
require reconstructed data for the above-right MB which
may not have been encoded yet (e.g. for the bottom right
MB in each SB).
Results on the one test clip I have tried (720p GIPS clip)
suggest that it is somewhere around 0.2dB worse than the
baseline version, so there may be bugs.
It has been tested with no experiments enabled and with
the following 3 experiments enabled:
--enable-enhanced_interp
--enable-high_precision_mv
--enable-sixteenth_subpel_uv
in each case the decode buffer matches the recon buffer
(using "cmp" to compare the dumped/decoded frames).
Note: Testing these experiments individually created
errors.
Some problems were found with other experiments but it
is unclear what state these experiments are in:
--enable-comp_intra_pred
--enable-newentropy
--enable-uvintra
This code has not been extensively tested yet, so there
is every likelihood that further bugs remain. I also
intend to do some code cleanup & refactoring in tandem
with the next patch that adds the 32x32 modes.

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:

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

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 function adds the common prediction modules, some data structures

It also corrects a bug in clearing down the MODE_INFO border and introduces
a new element that indicates if an entry corresponds to an "in image" macro block
or is part of the border.
