      Use offset mode info when filling pc tree. · 80e5326c
      Alex Converse authored
      Use the appropriate subblock offset mode info rather than the parent
      block base, when filling mbmi in the pc tree in nonrd_use_partition.
      This mimics what is done in the vertical case and what is done for
      both cases in nonrd_pick_partition.
      
      This change has little practical effect at the moment since in speed 5
      rt horizontal and vertical partitions are currently only used unpaired
      at edges of the picture.

      Enable various thresholds of motion detection · 3bda7ec1
      Yaowu Xu authored
      This commit changed to enable the encoder to adjust motion dection
      speed threshold based on picture size. In addition, cpu-used 1 now
      does a partition search every other frame instead of every third
      frame for low resolution inputs.
      
      The change has no quality/speed impact for 720p and above. Test
      showed the change increase encoding time by between 3% to 6% for
      cpu-used 2 encodiong of 360p sequences. It also has a compression
      gain about .3%.
      
      For cpu-used 2, the change resolved some very disturbing visual
      artifacts in certain sequences when large block partitionings and
      transforms are used as a result of copying the partition from a
      previous frame.

      Remove Wextra warnings from vp9_sad.c · 7ab9a958
      Deb Mukherjee authored
      As a side-effect, the max_sad check is removed from the
      C-implementation of VP8, for consistency with VP9, and to
      ensure that the SAD tests common to VP8/VP9 pass.
      That will make the VP8 C implementation of sad a little slower
      but given that is rarely used in practice, the impact will be
      minimal.

      Apply constrained partition search range to non-RD mode decision · 734c5ffa
      Jingning Han authored
      This commit enables a chessboard pattern for partition search. All
      the black blocks run regular partition search ranging from 8x8 to
      32x32. The rest white blocks take the nearby blocks' information
      to adaptively decide the effective search range.
      
      The compression performance for rtc set at speed -5 is down by 1.5%.
      For pedestrian 1080p at speed -5, the runtime goes from 41594 ms to
      39697 ms, i.e., about 5% faster.

      Enable background detection for adaptive quantizer control · 80a4f559
      Jingning Han authored
      This commit enables a background detection approach for adaptive
      quantizer control. It combines the cyclic refresh pattern and the
      background information to determine the segment id for adaptive
      quantizer selection, prior to the non-RD mode decision process.
      It hence allows proper quantization information update for a more
      precise rate-distortion modeling in the non-RD mode decision.
      
      The compression performance of speed -5 for rtc set is improved
      by 2.5%, at no speed change.

      add a context tree structure to encoder · e890c257
      Jim Bankoski authored
      This patch sets up a quad_tree structure (pc_tree) for holding all of
      pick_mode_context data we use at any square block size during encoding
      or picking modes.  That includes contexts for 2 horizontal and 2 vertical
      splits, one none, and pointers to 4 sub pc_tree nodes corresponding
      to split.  It also includes a pointer to the current chosen partitioning.
      
      This replaces code that held an index for every level in the pick
      modes array including:  sb_index, mb_index,
      b_index, ab_index.
      
      These were used as stateful indexes that pointed to the current pick mode
      contexts you had at each level stored in the following arrays
      
      array ab4x4_context[][][],
      sb8x4_context[][][], sb4x8_context[][][], sb8x8_context[][][],
      sb8x16_context[][][], sb16x8_context[][][], mb_context[][], sb32x16[][],
      sb16x32[],  sb32_context[], sb32x64_context[], sb64x32_context[],
      sb64_context
      
      and the partitioning that had been stored in the following:
      b_partitioning, mb_partitioning, sb_partitioning, and sb64_partitioning.
      
      Prior to this patch before doing an encode you had to set the appropriate
      index for your block size ( switch statement),  update it ( up to 3
      lookups for the index array value) and then make your call into a recursive
      function at which point you'd have to call get_context which then
      had to do a switch statement based on the blocksize,  and then up to 3
      lookups based upon the block size to find the context to use.
      
      With the new code the context for the block size is passed around directly
      avoiding the extraneous switch statements and multi dimensional array
      look ups that were listed above.   At any level in the search all of the
      contexts are local to the pc_tree you are working on (in?).
      
      In addition in most places code that used to call sub functions and
      then check if the block size was 4x4 and index was > 0 and return
      now don't preferring instead to call the right none function on the inside.

      Enable more precise background detection for partition decision · e88a2805
      Jingning Han authored
      This commit compares the current original frame to the previous
      original frame at 64x64 block level and decides if the entire
      block belongs to background area. If it is in the background area,
      skip non-RD partition search and copy the partition types of the
      collocated block in the previous frame.
      
      For vidyo1 in the rtc set, this makes the speed -5 coding speed
      about 8% faster. The overall compression performance is down by
      1.37% for rtc set.

      Select prediction filter type in non-RD mode decision · 06ec873f
      Jingning Han authored
      This commit allows the non-RD mode decision flow to  select
      prediction filter type in NEWMV mode. It provides 8.14% compression
      performance gains in both settings of AQ=0 and 3. The current speed
      impact is about 5% to 10% slower.
