Adds an experiment to use a weighted prediction of two INTER
predictors, where the weight is one of (1/4, 3/4), (3/8, 5/8),
(1/2, 1/2), (5/8, 3/8) or (3/4, 1/4), and is chosen implicitly
based on consistency of the predictors to the already
reconstructed pixels to the top and left of the current macroblock
or superblock.
Currently the weighting is not applied to SPLITMV modes, which
default to the usual (1/2, 1/2) weighting. However the code is in
place controlled by a macro. The same weighting is used for Y and
UV components, where the weight is derived from analyzing the Y
component only.
Results (over compound inter-intra experiment)
derf: +0.18%
yt: +0.34%
hd: +0.49%
stdhd: +0.23%
The experiment suggests bigger benefit for explicitly signaled weights.

Pearson correlation for above or left is significantly higher than for
previous-in-scan-order (absolute values depend on position in scan, but
in general, we gain about 0.1-0.2 by using either above or left; using
both basically just makes this even better). For eob branch skipping,
we continue to use the previous token in scan order.
This helps about 0.9% on derf after re-training on a limited data set.
Full re-training and results on larger-resolution clips are pending.
Note that this commit breaks trellis, so we can probably get further
gains out of it by fixing trellis at some later point.

Replaces the default tables for single coefficient magnitudes with
those obtained from an appropriate distribution. The EOB node
is left unchanged. The model is represeted as a 256-size codebook
where the index corresponds to the probability of the Zero or the
One node. Two variations are implemented corresponding to whether
the Zero node or the One-node is used as the peg. The main advantage
is that the default prob tables will become considerably smaller and
manageable. Besides there is substantially less risk of over-fitting
for a training set.
Various distributions are tried and the one that gives the best
results is the family of Generalized Gaussian distributions with
shape parameter 0.75. The results are within about 0.2% of fully
trained tables for the Zero peg variant, and within 0.1% of the
One peg variant.
The forward updates are optionally (controlled by a macro)
model-based, i.e. restricted to only convey probabilities from the
codebook. Backward updates can also be optionally (controlled by
another macro) model-based, but is turned off by default. Currently
model-based forward updates work about the same as unconstrained
updates, but there is a drop in performance with backward-updates
being model based.
The model based approach also allows the probabilities for the key
frames to be adjusted from the defaults based on the base_qindex of
the frame. Currently the adjustment function is a placeholder that
adjusts the prob of EOB and Zero node from the nominal one at higher
quality (lower qindex) or lower quality (higher qindex) ends of the
range. The rest of the probabilities are then derived based on the
model from the adjusted prob of zero.

Increase the motion search range by 4x. Change MV_CLASS tree of the
entropy coding to allow two additional mv classes to cover the
extended motion vector limit. The codec determines the effective
motion search range conditioned on the actual frame dimension.
It provides coding gains:
stdhd 0.39%
yt 0.56%
hd 0.47%
Major coding performance gains are packed in several sequences with
intense motion activities, e.g., ped_1080p gains 7% at high bit-rates,
and on average 3%.

This patch revamps the entropy coding of coefficients to code first
a non-zero count per coded block and correspondingly remove the EOB
token from the token set.
STATUS:
Main encode/decode code achieving encode/decode sync - done.
Forward and backward probability updates to the nzcs - done.
Rd costing updates for nzcs - done.
Note: The dynamic progrmaming apporach used in trellis quantization
is not exactly compatible with nzcs. A suboptimal approach has been
used instead where branch costs are updated to account for changes
in the nzcs.
TODO:
Training the default probs/counts for nzcs

* changes:
vpxenc: actually report mismatch on stderr.
Make superblocks independent of macroblock code and data.
|
|
Split macroblock and superblock tokenization and detokenization
functions and coefficient-related data structs so that the bitstream
layout and related code of superblock coefficients looks less like it's
a hack to fit macroblocks in superblocks.
In addition, unify chroma transform size selection from luma transform
size (i.e. always use the same size, as long as it fits the predictor);
in practice, this means 32x32 and 64x64 superblocks using the 16x16 luma
transform will now use the 16x16 (instead of the 8x8) chroma transform,
and 64x64 superblocks using the 32x32 luma transform will now use the
32x32 (instead of the 16x16) chroma transform.
Lastly, add a trellis optimize function for 32x32 transform blocks.
HD gains about 0.3%, STDHD about 0.15% and derf about 0.1%. There's
a few negative points here and there that I might want to analyze
a little closer.

Fixed a couple of variable/function definitions, as well as header
handling to support 16K sequence coding at high bit-rates.
The width and height are each specified by two bytes in the header.
Use an extra byte to explicitly indicate the scaling factors in
both directions, each ranging from 0 to 15.
Tested coding up to 16400x16400 dimension.

This patch makes the encoder's use of ref_frame_map and active_ref_idx
consistent with the decoder. ref_frame_map[] maps a reference buffer
index to its actual location in the yv12_fb array, since many
references may share an underlying buffer. active_ref_idx[] mirrors
cpi->{lst,gld,alt}_fb_idx, holding the active references in each
slot.
This also fixes a bug in setup_buffer_inter() where the incorrect
reference was used to populate the scaling factors.

This patch allows coding frames using references of different
resolution, in ZEROMV mode. For compound prediction, either
reference may be scaled.
To test, I use the resize_test and enable WRITE_RECON_BUFFER
in vp9_onyxd_if.c. It's also useful to apply this patch to
test/i420_video_source.h:
--- a/test/i420_video_source.h
+++ b/test/i420_video_source.h
@@ -93,6 +93,7 @@ class I420VideoSource : public VideoSource {
virtual void FillFrame() {
// Read a frame from input_file.
+ if (frame_ != 3)
if (fread(img_->img_data, raw_sz_, 1, input_file_) == 0) {
limit_ = frame_;
}
This forces the frame that the resolution changes on to be coded
with no motion, only scaling, and improves the quality of the
result.

Ensure that all inter prediction goes through a common code path
that takes scaling into account. Removes a bunch of duplicate
1st/2nd predictor code. Also introduces a 16x8 mode for 8x8
MVs, similar to the 8x4 trick we were doing before. This has an
unexpected effect with EIGHTTAP_SMOOTH, so it's disabled in that
case for now.

set where Q0 is rarely used. For yt and yt-hd set, Q0 is used for
a number of clips, where this commit helped a lot in the high end.

Added switches and code to skip/breakout from
doing SB32 and SB64 tests based on whether
the 16x16 MB tests used split modes. Also to
optionally skip 64x64 if 16x16 was chosen over
32x32.
Impact varies depending on clip from a few %
up to almost 50% on encode speed. Only the
split mode breakout is currently enabled.

This patch adds column-based tiling. The idea is to make each tile
independently decodable (after reading the common frame header) and
also independendly encodable (minus within-frame cost adjustments in
the RD loop) to speed-up hardware & software en/decoders if they used
multi-threading. Column-based tiling has the added advantage (over
other tiling methods) that it minimizes realtime use-case latency,
since all threads can start encoding data as soon as the first SB-row
worth of data is available to the encoder.
There is some test code that does random tile ordering in the decoder,
to confirm that each tile is indeed independently decodable from other
tiles in the same frame. At tile edges, all contexts assume default
values (i.e. 0, 0 motion vector, no coefficients, DC intra4x4 mode),
and motion vector search and ordering do not cross tiles in the same
frame.
t log
Tile independence is not maintained between frames ATM, i.e. tile 0 of
frame 1 is free to use motion vectors that point into any tile of frame
0. We support 1 (i.e. no tiling), 2 or 4 column-tiles.
The loopfilter crosses tile boundaries. I discussed this briefly with Aki
and he says that's OK. An in-loop loopfilter would need to do some sync
between tile threads, but that shouldn't be a big issue.
Resuls: with tiling disabled, we go up slightly because of improved edge
use in the intra4x4 prediction. With 2 tiles, we lose about ~1% on derf,
~0.35% on HD and ~0.55% on STD/HD. With 4 tiles, we lose another ~1.5%
on derf ~0.77% on HD and ~0.85% on STD/HD. Most of this loss is
concentrated in the low-bitrate end of clips, and most of it is because
of the loss of edges at tile boundaries and the resulting loss of intra
predictors.
TODO:
- more tiles (perhaps allow row-based tiling also, and max. 8 tiles)?
- maybe optionally (for EC purposes), motion vectors themselves
should not cross tile edges, or we should emulate such borders as
if they were off-frame, to limit error propagation to within one
tile only. This doesn't have to be the default behaviour but could
be an optional bitstream flag.

Adds an error-resilient mode where frames can be continued
to be decoded even when there are errors (due to network losses)
on a prior frame. Specifically, backward updates are turned off
and probabilities of various symbols are reset to defaults at
the beginning of each frame. Further, the last frame's mvs are
not used for the mv reference list, and the sorting of the
initial list based on search on previous frames is turned off
as well.
Also adds a test where an arbitrary set of frames are skipped
from decoding to simulate errors. The test verifies (1) that if
the error frames are droppable - i.e. frame buffer updates have
been turned off - there are no mismatch errors for the remaining
frames after the error frames; and (2) if the error-frames are non
droppable, there are not only no decoding errors but the mismatch
PSNR between the decoder's version of the post-error frames and the
encoder's version is at least 20 dB.

Remove lst_fb_idx, gld_fb_idx, alt_fb_idx, refresh_last_frame,
refresh_golden_frame, refresh_alt_ref_frame from common. Gold/Alt are
encode side conventions. From the decoder's perspective, we want to be
dealing with numbered references.
Updates to active_ref 2 signal mode context switches, vestigial from
refresh_alt_ref_frame. This needs some clean up to make sense with
increased numbers of reference frames, as well as reimplementing the
swapping of alt/golden which was previously done using the
buffer-to-buffer copy mechanism removed in an earlier commit.

This patch removes the old pred-filter experiment and replaces it
with one that is implemented using the switchable filter framework.
If the pred-filter experiment is enabled, three interopolation
filters are tested during mode selection; the standard 8-tap
interpolation filter, a sharp 8-tap filter and a (new) 8-tap
smoothing filter.
The 6-tap filter code has been preserved for now and if the
enable-6tap experiment is enabled (in addition to the pred-filter
experiment) the original 6-tap filter replaces the new 8-tap smooth
filter in the switchable mode.
The new experiment applies the prediction filter in cases of a
fractional-pel motion vector. Future patches will apply the filter
where the mv is pel-aligned and also to intra predicted blocks.

Old Scheme:
When SWITCHABLE filter selection is enabled the encoder
evaluates the use of each interpolation filter type and
selects the best one to use at the MB level. A frame-
level flag can be set to force the use of a particular
filter type for all MBs in a frame if it is more efficient
to encode that way. The logic here involved a Q dependent
threshold that assumed that the second 8-tap filter was
a high-pass filter. However, this requires a trip around
the recode loop. If the frame-level flag indicates use
of a particular filter, the other filters are not
evaluated in the pick_mode loop.
New Scheme:
Each filter type is evaluated at the MB level and a record
of the best filter is kept, irrespective of what filter
is signaled at the frame-level. Once all MBs have been
encoded, a decision is made as to what frame-level mode
to set for the *next* frame. If one filter is used by 80%
or more of the MBs, then this filter is forced since it
is assumed that this will be more efficient if the
next frame has similar characteristics. i.e. there is a
one-frame lag between measuring the filter selection and
setting the frame-level mode to use.
