Enable recursive partition information coding from SB64X64 down to
MB16X16. The bit-stream syntax is now supporting rectangular block
sizes. It starts from SB64X64 and recursively describes the partition
type of the current block. If the partition type is PARTITION_NONE,
the block is coded as a single unit; if it is PARTITION_HORZ or
PARTITION_VERT, the block is segmented into two independently coded
rectangular units, with no further partition needed; otherwise, the
block is segmented into 4 square blocks. i.e., PARTITION_SPLIT case,
each can be potentially further partitioned.
Forward adaptive probability modeling is used for the partition
information coding, conditioned on the current block size.

This is work-in-progress, it implements multiple ARF
encoding behind an experimental flag.
It adds the ability to insert multiple ARF frames into a
single ARF group. This patch implements the reordering
of the coded frames, and implements a fixed-length coding
pattern. It applies a fixed quantizer strategy based on
where the frame is in the coding sequence.
Further work to modify the rate control strategy is
ongoing and will be submitted via a set of future patches.
In this first step, each ARF group is recursively
bisected and an ARF frame added at that position in the
sequence. The recursion continues until ARF frames are
within MIN_GF_INTERVAL frames.
The code sits behind the "multiple-arf" experimental
flag ("CONFIG_MULTIPLE_ARF"). The experimental flag
"oneshotq" ("CONFIG_ONESHOTQ") also needs to be enabled
for this patch to work correctly.

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.,

The patch adds the flexibility to use standard EOB based coding
on smaller block sizes and nzc based coding on larger blocksizes.
The tx-sizes that use nzc based coding and those that use EOB based
coding are controlled by a function get_nzc_used().
By default, this function uses nzc based coding for 16x16 and 32x32
transform blocks, which seem to bridge the performance gap
substantially.

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)

Now that the first AC coefficient in both directions use the same DC
as their context, there no longer is a purpose in letting both have
their own band. Merging these two bands allows us to split bands for
some of the very high-frequency AC bands.
In addition, I'm redoing the banding for the 1D-ADST col/row scans. I
don't think the old banding made any sense at all (it merged the last
coefficient of the first row/col in the same band as the first two of
the second row/col), which was clearly an oversight from the band being
applied in scan-order (rather than in their actual position). Now,
coefficients at the same position will be in the same band, regardless
what scan order is used. I think this makes most sense for the purpose
of banding, which is basically "predict energy for this coefficient
depending on the energy of context coefficients" (i.e. pt).
After full re-training, together with previous patch, derf gains about
1.2-1.3%, and hd/stdhd gain about 0.9-1.0%.
Change-Id: I7a0cc12ba724e88b278034113cb4adaaebf87e0c
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.

Split macroblock and superblock tokenization and detokenization

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

both derf and std-hd. It is noteworthy that for std-hd sets
many sequences gains about 0.5%, some 0.2%. There are also few
points that provides -1% to -3% performance. Hence the average
goes to about 0.1%.

These allow sending partial bitstream packets over the network before
encoding a complete frame is completed, thus lowering end-to-end
latency. The tile-rows are not independent.

Since addition of the larger-scale transforms (16x16, 32x32), these
don't give a benefit at macroblock-sizes anymore. At superblock-sizes,
2nd-order transform was never used over the larger transforms. Future
work should test whether there is a benefit for that use case.

This patch abstracts the selection of the coefficient band
context into a function as a precursor to further experiments
with the coefficient context.
It also removes the large per TX size coefficient band structures
and uses a single matrix for all block sizes within the test function.
This may have an impact on quality (results to follow) but is only an
intermediate step in the process of redefining the context. Also the
quality impact will be larger initially because the default tables will
be out of step with the new banding.
In particular the 4x4 will in this case only use 7 bands. If needed we
can add back block size dependency localized within the function, but
this can follow on after the other changes to the definition of the
context.

This is an initial step to facilitate experimentation
with changes to the prior token context used to code
coefficients to take better account of the energy of
preceding tokens.
This patch merely abstracts the selection of context into
two functions and does not alter the output.

1. Added a bit in frame header to to indicate if a frame is encoded
in lossless mode, so decoder does not make the decision based on Q0
2. Minor changes to make sure that lossy coding works same as when
the lossless experiment is not enabled.
3. Renamed function pointers for transforms to be consistent, using
prefix fwd_txm and inv_txm for forward and inverse respectively
To encode in lossless mode, using "--lossless=1 --min-q=0 --max-q=0"
with vpxenc.

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.

This commit changes the inverse 16 point dct to use the same algorithm
as the one for 32 point idct. In fact, now 16 point dct uses the exact
version of the souce code for even portion of the 32 point idct.
Tests showed current implementation has significant better accuracy
than the previous version. With this implementation and the minor bug
fix on forward 16 point dct, encoding tests showed about 0.2% better
compression of CIF set, test results on std-hd setting pending.

Change-Id: I9390b6ed3c8be0c0c0a0c44c578d9a031d6e026e
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.

Previously there were two frame coding contexts tracked, one for normal
frames and one for alt-ref frames. Generalize this by signalling the
context to use in the bitstream, rather than tieing it to the alt ref
refresh bit. Also increase the number of contexts available to 4, which
may be useful for temporal scalability.

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.
