2012-02-09Merge Extended Q experiment.Paul Wilkins
Merge the extended Q experiment as indicated by the Change-Id: I02d9e654fff9998cc7e9e2f1f5cd838dad8fb431
2011-12-19Extended Q:Paul Wilkins
Cleanup and switch to Q extended at low end too. Change-Id: Ie22676bb9e961097d75dbd1d81745208b63e5f4b
2011-12-19Extend to 256 Q steps.Paul Wilkins
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 available range. This is coupled with the fact that each Q step where possible now equates to a fixed % change in the quantizer. This may want refinement later especially in terms of the granularity at the high quality end but is a reasonable starting point. Change-Id: I2aaa6874fa10ce05c958dd182947ce39f6f1eecb
2011-12-19QRange experiements.Paul Wilkins
High Q end extended a little. Some clean up. Slightly better on SSIM, Slightly worse on PSNR over derf set. Change-Id: I3dceea8a39e11c26e1a389a40e40b86efc76d28c
2011-12-19Further QIndex realted Fixes:Paul Wilkins
Added code to support 256 index steps instead of 128 but disabled for now. Replace hard wired table vp8cx_base_skip_false_prob[128] Observed Qindex problem with setting minimum loop filter value. (Experiment code using real Q in place but for now just returning 0. This has a big beneficial effect on some clips, particularly waterfall which shows 5% ssim gain) Change-Id: I2f7117de8adc1797164c106aa13effc900a1467e
2011-12-09Experiment with old Q range:Paul Wilkins
Experiment with old Q range but new higher precision quantizer and transform code. Change-Id: Id1ff4cb433e5775d709d0133e2aec0322975c292
2011-12-02Further work on extended Q range.Paul Wilkins
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.

2011-11-29Further work on extended Q range.Paul Wilkins
Fixed bug in firspass.c call to vp8_initialize_rd_consts() 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. Change-Id: Iddf6cf5ea8467c44b7c133f38e629f6ba6f2581e
2011-11-21Extended Q range Experiment.Paul Wilkins
Corrected dc lookup table to maintain ac/dc balance close to what it was previously. Firstpass not being passed the adjusted Q index for the extended range. Change-Id: Ic0200dabda445fea03bf81067999cb2670e99b77
2011-01-19experiment extending the quantizer rangeYaowu Xu
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 Change-Id: Ib50641ddd44aba2a52ed890222c309faa31cc59c
