2012-10-23Merging in the Switchable interp experimentDeb Mukherjee
There is a macro DEFAULT_INTERP_FILTER defined in encoder/onyx_if.c that is set as EIGHTTAP for now - so SWITCHABLE is not really used. Ideally, this should be SWITCHABLE but that would make the encoder quite a bit slower. We will change the default filter to SWITCHABLE once we find a faster way to search for switchable filters.

2012-10-17Interleave modes/residual per macroblockJohn Koleszar
Packs the bitstream with each mb's residual following its mode/mv information. TODO: There are still a few fields that should be packed into partition 0 but are included in partition 1, due to them being serialized from write_kfmodes/pack_inter_mode_mvs, which execute after the first partition is finalized. These need to be separated out into a separate function, similar to mb_mode_mv_init() in decodemv.c. Change-Id: I43a46c363601ab36954d07ebe498760e1e2e3af4
2012-08-20Superblock coding.Ronald S. Bultje
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%. Change-Id: Iae313a7cbd8f75b3c66d04a68b991cb096eaaba6

2012-07-30Adds support for switchable interpolation filters.Deb Mukherjee
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. Change-Id: I8f632cb2c111e76284140a2bd480945d6d42b77a

The following five experiments are merged: newentropy newupdate adaptive_entropy (also includes a couple of parameter changes that improves results a little in common/entropymode.c and encoder/modecosts.c that were not merged from the internal branch) newintramodes expanded_coef_context Change-Id: I8a142a831786ee9dc936f22be1d42a8bced7d270

2012-05-15Rewrite reference frame costing in the RD loop.Ronald S. Bultje
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.

2012-03-21Adding contextual coding of mb_skip_coeff flag.Deb Mukherjee
Using contextual coding of the mkb_skip_coeff flag using the values of this flag from the left and above. There is a small improvement of about 0.15% on Derf: http://www.corp.google.com/~debargha/vp8_results/mbskipcontext.html Refactored to use pred_common.c by adding a new context type. Results on HD set (about 0.66% improvement): http://www.corp.google.com/~debargha/vp8_results/mbskipcontext_hd.html Incliding missing refactoring to use the pred_common utilities.

2012-02-09Merge COMPREDPaul Wilkins
Merged in most of the current common prediction changes that were under the #if CONFIG_COMPRED option. Change-Id: If4e6f61dbe7b86dd449f6effbe93b5eb7e893885
2012-02-09Dual pred flagPaul Wilkins
Further changes to make experiments with the context used for coding the dual pred flag easier. Current best performing method tested on derf is a two element context based on reference frame. I also tried various combinations of mode and reference frame as shown in commented out case using up to 6 contexts. Derf +0.26 overall psnr +0.15% ssim vs original method.

2012-02-09Changes to coding of dual_pred flag.Paul Wilkins
Further use of common prediction functions and experiments with alternate contexts based on mode and reference frame. For the Derf set using reference frame as basis of context gives +0.18% Overall Psnr and +0.08 SSIM Change-Id: Ie7eb76f329f74c9c698614f01ece31de0b6bfc9e
2012-02-06Coding the hybrid dual prediction signal.Paul Wilkins
Initial modifications to make limited use of common prediction functions. The only functional change thus far is that updates to the probabilities are no longer "damped". This was a testing convenience but in fact seems to help by a little over 0.1% over the derf set. Change-Id: I8b82907d9d6b6a4a075728b60b31ce93392a5f2e
2012-02-06Modified prediction behavior for reference frame.Paul Wilkins
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.

2012-02-03Reference frame prediction:Paul Wilkins
Extended prediction and coding of reference frame where a subset of options are flagged as available at the segment level. Updated copyright notices. Switch to SAD in mbgraph code as SATD problematic for the foreground and background separation as it can ignore large DC shifts. Change-Id: I661dbbb2f94f3ec0f96bb928c1655e5e415a7de1
2012-01-31Added common prediction modules.Paul Wilkins
This function adds the common prediction modules, some data structures and a config option but does not use them. 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.
