2012-08-07a new way of determining reference motion vectorYaowu Xu
Using surrounding reconstructed pixels from left and above to select best matching mv to use as reference motion vector for mv encoding. Test results: AVGPSNR GLBPSNR VPXSSIM Derf: 1.107% 1.062% 0.992% Std-hd:1.209% 1.176% 1.029% Change-Id: I8f10e09ee6538c05df2fb9f069abcaf1edb3fca6
2012-08-06Refactoring hybrid transform codingJingning Han
The forward and inverse hybrid transforms are now performed using single function modules, where the dimension is sent as argument. Added an inline function clip8b to clip the reconstruction pixels into range of 0-255. Change-Id: Id7d870b3e1aefc092721c80c0af6f641eb5f3747
2012-08-06Add x86_64-darwin11-gcc target.Christian Duvivier

2012-08-06Merge "enable interleaved decoding of mode and mv" into experimentalYaowu Xu
2012-08-03Merging in high_precision_mv experimentDeb Mukherjee
Merged in the high_precision_mv experiment to make it easier to work on new mv encoding strategies. Also removed coef_update_probs3(). Change-Id: I82d3b0bb642419fe05dba82528bc9ba010e90924
2012-08-03enable interleaved decoding of mode and mvYaowu Xu
Previouly, the decoding of mode and motion vector are done a per frame basis followed by residue decoding and reconstuction. The commit added the option to allow decoder to interleave the decoding of mode and mvs with the residue decoding on a per MB basis. Change-Id: Ia5316f4a7af9ba7f155c92b5a6fc97201b653571
2012-08-03Replacing the 8x8 DCT with 8x8 ADST/DCT for I8x8Jingning Han
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.

2012-08-02Use 8x8 DCT transform for I8X8 prediction modeJingning Han
Apply 2D-DCT transform of dimension 8x8 to encode prediction residuals of I8X8 mode. Brought back block type 3 probability context model for 8x8 tokens, which is used for the coefficients of Y blocks in I8x8 modes. The coefficient costs estimate of I8X8 mode in rate-distortion is also changed appropriately. Performance results: derf: 0.246 yt: 0.114 std-hd: 0.730 hd: 0.670 Change-Id: If1d970eeb4e1827c9f0d2c5b27d33089b347ea27
2012-07-31Merging and bug-fix in enhanced_interp experimentDeb Mukherjee
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. Change-Id: Iac5008390f1efc97ce1102fbb5f8989c847fb579
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
2012-07-27Merges several experimentsDeb Mukherjee

2012-07-19Adds hybrid transformJingning Han
Adds ADST/DCT hybrid transform coding for Intra4x4 mode. The ADST is applied to directions in which the boundary pixels are used for prediction, while DCT applied to directions without corresponding boundary prediction. Adds enum TX_TYPE in b_mode_infor to indicate the transform type used. Make coding style consistent with google style. Fixed the commented issues. Experimental results in terms of bit-rate reduction: derf: 0.731% yt: 0.982% std-hd: 0.459% hd: 0.725% Will be looking at 8x8 transforms next. Change-Id: I46dbd7b80dbb3e8856e9c34fbc58cb3764a12fcf

2012-06-28Add lossless compression mode.Hui Su
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. (http://goo.gl/dEShs) Change-Id: Ia3aba7dd09df40dd590f93b9aba134defbc64e34
2012-06-27Added Prediction Filter to Mode SelectionAdrian Grange
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.

2012-06-25Continued adaptive entropy codingDeb Mukherjee
Incorporates mv_ref, mbsplit and second_mv into the adaptive entropy framework. The mv_ref framework has been modified from before. Adds some clean-ups and fixes. Results with the adaptive entropy experiment are currently up by +1.93% on derf; +2.33% std-hd and +1.87% yt-hd. Fixed a nasty intermittent bug. Change-Id: I4b1ac9f9483b48432597595195bfec05f31d1e39

2012-06-15Adaptive entropy coding of coefficients, modes, mv.Deb Mukherjee
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.

2012-06-12changed to use a fixed number for update probabityYaowu Xu
This commit is to remove two arrays, which contain the probabilities of how likely each probability in coef_probs table is updated. The commit changed to use a fixed number "252". Surprisedly, the overall impact on quality is close to zero, which basically says the two big static arrays are not helpful at all. derf: -0.016%, -0.020% std-hd: 0.000%, -0.013% yt: -0.022%, +0.007% yt-hd: -0.038%, +0.034% Change-Id: Ifee94d28a37dcab4f1d2b994bd5b07575be42b72
2012-05-23changed the way that default probs for 8x8 is set.Yaowu Xu
The commit changed how baseline 8x8 coefficient probabilities are initialized, to be consistent with the initialization of baseline 4x4 coefficient probabilities. The commit does not have any effect on compression. Change-Id: Ifb3902b5dc0b0c2e6dc3aa5d4a6589d528e58355

2012-05-08a number of fixes to entropy stats collectionYaowu Xu
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 from 8x8 transformed MBs. 3. redundant collecting in recoding The commit also corrected the code that accumulates entropy stats by making sure stats only collected for final packing, not during the recode loop Change-Id: I029f09f8f60bd0c3240cc392ff5c6d05435e322c
2012-05-04Expanding the coefficient encoding contextsDeb Mukherjee
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.

2012-04-25Adds search option for best interpolation filter.Deb Mukherjee
Adds a speed feature to conduct a brute force search among a set of available interpolation filters for the best one in an RD sense. There is a gain of 0.4% on derf, 1.0% on Std-HD. Patch 2: A macro added to determine if the encoder state is reset for each new filter tried. Patch 3: rebase, also fixes a bug (decodframe.c) introduced by a couple of missing function pointer assignements. Patch 4: rebase. Change-Id: Ic9ccca9d8c35c6af557449ae867391a2f996cc29

2012-04-18Added update of mode context pointers in decoderAdrian Grange
With the NEWENTROPY experiment enabled encoding certain clips produced invlid bitstreams, or files that had a high degree of artefacts. This was the results of pointers in MACROBLOCKD not being setup correctly (mode_info_context and prev_mode_info_context). Change-Id: Ice13e1efa8bd122997d2f8f3f1e761c6c16e0403
2012-04-11Superblock encoding orderAdrian Grange
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. Change-Id: I1eba7f740a70b3510df58db53464535ef881b4d9
2012-03-21enable 8x8 transform for MBs in intra framesYaowu Xu
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 considering how often key frame occurs in these encodings. Change-Id: Id17009ef6327252177b19e6bf0d6628827febaf1
2012-03-21Making subpel filters switchable at frame levelDeb Mukherjee
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. Patch 2: Added a preliminary strategy for filter selection based on edginess detecton. Also includes some filter changes. Change-Id: I866085bda5ae143cfdf2ec88157feaabdf7bd63a

2012-03-05Changed how UV r/d estimates are done for Intra ModesYaowu Xu
The commit changed to compute UV intra RD estimates for 4x4 and 8x8 separately to be used in mode decision for MB modes associated with the appropriate transform size respectively. Now finally after many other changes related 8x8 quantizer zbin boost and zbin_mode_boost, this change overall helps the HD(with 8x8) by around ~.13%. (avg .13% glb .13% ssim .17%) The commit also has a few changes for eliminating compiler warnings. Change-Id: Ibab35dad44820c87e6b44799c66f8d519cc37344
