Clamp only the motion vectors inferred from neighboring reference
macroblocks. The motion vectors obtained through motion search in
NEWMV mode are constrained during the search process, which allows
a relatively larger referencing region than the inferred mvs.
Hence further clamping the best mv provided by the motion search may
affect the efficacy of NEWMV mode.
Synchronized the decoding process. The decoded mvs in NEWMV modes
should be guaranteed to fit in the effective range. Put a mv range
clamping function there for security purpose.
This improves the coding performance of high motion sequences, e.g.,

foreman 0.233%
husky 0.175%
icd 0.135%
mother_daughter 0.337%

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.

This is like VP8_COPY_REFERENCE, but returns a pointer to the reference
frame rather than a copy of it. This is useful when the application
doesn't know what the size of the reference is, as is the case when
scaling is in effect.

Scales the input of the encoder using libyuv's "box filter". Each stream
may have a different width and height specified. If the width (or

will be calculated based on the specified height (or width) and the
input file's dimensions, preserving its aspect ratio. Leaving the height
unspecified behaves similarly.

Refactor the 8x8 inverse hybrid transform. It is now consistent
with the new inverse DCT. Overall performance loss (due to the
use of this variant ADST, and the rounding errors in the butterfly
implementation) for std-hd is -0.02.
Fixed BUILD warning.
Devise a variant of the original ADST, which allows butterfly
computation structure. This new transform has kernel of the
form: sin((2k+1)*(2n+1) / (4N)). One of its butterfly structures
using floating-point multiplications was reported in Z. Wang,
"Fast algorithms for the discrete W transform and for the discrete
Fourier transform", IEEE Trans. on ASSP, 1984.
This patch includes the butterfly implementation of the inverse
ADST/DCT hybrid transform of dimension 8x8.

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.

Change-Id: I76cb06f736bd9c90107a26bfb3c130ec3f6c33de
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.

Change-Id: I0ef61dee06f4db2a74032b142a4b4976c51faf6e
Creates a merge between the master and experimental branches. Fixes a
number of conflicts in the build system to allow *either* VP8 or VP9
to be built. Specifically either:
$ configure --disable-vp9 $ configure --disable-vp8
--disable-unit-tests
VP9 still exports its symbols and files as VP8, so that will be
resolved in the next commit.
Unit tests are broken in VP9, but this isn't a new issue. They are
fixed upstream on origin/experimental as of this writing, but rebasing
this merge proved difficult, so will tackle that in a second merge
commit.

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.
