2011-04-14Reduce unnecessary distortion computationYunqing Wang
In vp8_pick_inter_mode(), for NEWMV mode, use the error result got from motion search as distortion. This helps performance in real- time mode. Change-Id: I398c4e46cc5381f7d874e748cf78827ef0e0860c
2011-04-01Use full-pixel MV in mvsadcost calculationYunqing Wang
MV sad cost error is only used in full-pixel motion search, which only need full-pixel resolution instead of quarter-pixel resolution. This change reduced mvsadcost table size, and removed unneccessary pamameter passing since this table is constant once it is generated. Change-Id: I9f931e55f6abc3c99011321f1dfb2f3562e6f6b0
2011-02-10Improve motion search in real-time modeYunqing Wang
Applied better MV prediction in real-time mode, which improves the encoding quality. Used quarter-pixel search instead of iterative sub-pixel search for speed >=5 to improve encoding performance. Tests on the test set showed: 1. For speed=-5, quality improvement: 1.7% on AvgPSNR and 2.1% on SSIM, performance improvement: 3.6% (This counts in the performance lose caused by MV prediction calculation in "Improve MV prediction in vp8_pick_inter_mode() for speed>3"). 2. For speed=-8, quality improvement: 2.1% on AvgPSNR and 2.5% on SSIM. but, 6.9% performance decrease because of MV prediction calculation. This should be improved later.

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
2010-12-14Fix a bug in motion search codeYunqing Wang
The MV's range is 256. Since the new motion search uses a different starting MV than the center ref MV, a MV range checking needs to be done to avoid corruption. Change-Id: I8ae0721d1bd203639e13891e2e54a2e87276f306
2010-12-03Improve MV prediction accuracy to achieve performance gainYunqing Wang
Add vp8_mv_pred() to better predict starting MV for NEWMV mode in vp8_rd_pick_inter_mode(). Set different search ranges according to MV prediction accuracy, which improves encoder performance without hurting the quality. Also, as Yaowu suggested, using diamond search result as full search starting point and therefore adjusting(reducing) full search range helps the performance.

2010-10-27Full search SAD function optimization in SSE4.1Yunqing Wang
Use mpsadbw, and calculate 8 sad at once. Function list: vp8_sad16x16x8_sse4 vp8_sad16x8x8_sse4 vp8_sad8x16x8_sse4 vp8_sad8x8x8_sse4 vp8_sad4x4x8_sse4 (test clip: tulip) For best quality mode, this gave encoder a 5% performance boost. For good quality mode with speed=1, this gave encoder a 3% performance boost. Change-Id: I083b5a39d39144f88dcbccbef95da6498e490134
2010-10-26Add half-pixel variance RTCD functionsJohn Koleszar
NEON has optimized 16x16 half-pixel variance functions, but they were not part of the RTCD framework. Add these functions to RTCD, so that other platforms can make use of this optimization in the future and special-case ARM code can be removed. A number of functions were taking two variance functions as parameters. These functions were changed to take a single parameter, a pointer to a struct containing all the variance functions for that block size. This provides additional flexibility for calling additional variance functions (the half-pixel special case, for example) and by initializing the table for all block sizes, we don't have to construct this function pointer table for each macroblock.
