2010-09-09Use WebM in copyright notice for consistencyJohn Koleszar
Changes 'The VP8 project' to 'The WebM project', for consistency with other webmproject.org repositories. Fixes issue #97. Change-Id: I37c13ed5fbdb9d334ceef71c6350e9febed9bbba
2010-08-10Add trellis quantization.Timothy B. Terriberry
Replace the exponential search for optimal rounding during quantization with a linear Viterbi trellis and enable it by default when using --best. Right now this operates on top of the output of the adaptive zero-bin quantizer in vp8_regular_quantize_b() and gives a small gain. It can be tested as a replacement for that quantizer by enabling the call to vp8_strict_quantize_b(), which uses normal rounding and no zero bin offset. Ultimately, the quantizer will have to become a function of lambda in order to take advantage of activity masking, since there is limited ability to change the quantization factor itself. However, currently vp8_strict_quantize_b() plus the trellis quantizer (which is lambda-dependent) loses to vp8_regular_quantize_b() alone (which is not) on my test clip. Patch Set 3: Fix an issue related to the cost evaluation of successor states when a coefficient is reduced to zero. With this issue fixed, now the trellis search almost exactly matches the exponential search. Patch Set 2: Overall, the goal of this patch set is to make "trellis" search to produce encodings that match the exponential search version. There are three main differences between Patch Set 2 and 1: a. Patch set 1 did not properly account for the scale of 2nd order error, so patch set 2 disable it all together for 2nd blocks. b. Patch set 1 was not consistent on when to enable the the quantization optimization. Patch set 2 restore the condition to be consistent. c. Patch set 1 checks quantized level L-1, and L for any input coefficient was quantized to L. Patch set 2 limits the candidate coefficient to those that were rounded up to L. It is worth noting here that a strategy to check L and L+1 for coefficients that were truncated down to L might work. (a and b get trellis quant to basically match the exponential search on all mid/low rate encodings on cif set, without a, b, trellis quant can hurt the psnr by 0.2 to .3db at 200kbps for some cif clips) (c gets trellis quant to match the exponential search to match at Q0 encoding, without c, trellis quant can be 1.5 to 2db lower for encodings with fixed Q at 0 on most derf cif clips) Change-Id: Ib1a043b665d75fbf00cb0257b7c18e90eebab95e
2010-06-18cosmetics: trim trailing whitespaceJohn Koleszar
When the license headers were updated, they accidentally contained trailing whitespace, so unfortunately we have to touch all the files again. Change-Id: I236c05fade06589e417179c0444cb39b09e4200d
2010-06-14sse2 version of vp8_regular_quantize_bScott LaVarnway
Added sse2 version of vp8_regular_quantize_b which improved encode performance(for the clip used) by ~10% for 32 bit builds and ~3% for 64 bit builds. Also updated SHADOW_ARGS_TO_STACK to allow for more than 9 arguments. Change-Id: I62f78eabc8040b39f3ffdf21be175811e96b39af
