      fix a problem where an invalid mv used in search · eeae6f94
      Yaowu Xu authored
      The commit added reset of pred_mv at the beginning of each SB64x64
      partition mv search, also limited the usage of pred_mv only when
      search on the largest partition is already done. This is to fix
      a crash at speed 1/2 encoder where an invalid mv is used in mv
      search.

      Adaptive motion search control · c4826c59
      Jingning Han authored
      This commit enables adaptive constraint on motion search range for
      smaller partitions, given the motion vectors of collocated larger
      partition as a candidate initial search point.
      
      It makes speed 0 runtime of bus at CIF and 2000 kbps goes from
      167s down to 162s (3% speed-up), at 0.01dB performance gains. In
      the settings of speed 1, this makes the runtime goes from 33687 ms
      to 32142 ms (4.5% speed-up), at 0.03dB performance gains.
      
      Compression performance wise, it gains at speed 1:
      derf  0.118%
      yt    0.237%
      hd    0.203%
      stdhd 0.438%

      Stop partition checking when distortion is small · 0607abc3
      Yunqing Wang authored
      If the current obtained distortion is very small, which happens
      for static image case, we pick the current partition type without
      further split checking.
      
      This won't affect regular videos. For static videos, we got 10%~12%
      encoding speed gain. PSNR was better for some clips, and worse for
      others. Overall it was even.

      Modified mode skip functionality. · 4f660cc0
      Paul Wilkins authored
      A previous speed feature skipped modes not used in earlier
      partitions but this not longer worked as intended following
      changes to the partition coding order and in conjunction
      with some other speed features (Especially speed 2 and above).
      
      This modified mode skip feature sets a mask after the first X
      modes have been tested in each partition depending on the
      reference frame of the current best case.
      
      This patch also makes some changes to the order modes are
      tested to fit better with this skip functionality.
      
      Initial testing suggests speed and rd hit count improvements
      of up to 20% at speed 1. Quality results. (derf -1.9%, std hd  +0.23%).

      Refactor rd_pick_partition for parameter control · 01a37177
      Jingning Han authored
      This commit changes the partition search order of superblocks from
      {SPLIT, NONE, HORZ, VERT} to {NONE, SPLIT, HORZ, VERT} for
      consistency with that of sub8x8 partition search. It enable the use
      of early termination in partition search for all block sizes.
      
      For ped_area_1080p 50 frames coded at 4000 kbps, it makes the runtime
      goes down from 844305ms -> 818003ms (3% speed-up) at speed 0.
      
      This will further move towards making the in-search partition types
      configurable, hence unifying various speed-up approaches.
      
      Some speed 1 and 2 features are turned off during the refactoring
      process, including:
      disable_split_var_thresh
      using_small_partition_info
      
      Stricter constraints are applied to use_square_partition_only for
      right/bottom boundary blocks. Will bring back/refine these features
      subsequently. At this point, it makes derf set at speed 1 about
      0.45% higher in compression performance, and 9% down in run-time.

      Speed feature to skip split partition based on var · 24856b6a
      Deb Mukherjee authored
      Adds a speed feature to disable split partition search based on a
      given threshold on the source variance. A tighter threshold derived
      from the threshold provided is used to also disable horizontal and
      vertical partitions.
      
      Results on derfraw300:
      threshold = 16, psnr = -0.057%, speedup ~1% (football)
      threshold = 32, psnr = -0.150%, speedup ~4-5% (football)
      threshold = 64, psnr = -0.570%, speedup ~10-12% (football)
      
      Results on stdhdraw250:
      threshold = 32, psnr = -0.18%, speedup is somewhat more than derf
      because of a larger number of smoother blocks at higher resolution.
      
      Based on these results, a threshold of 32 is chosen for speed 1,
      and a threshold of 64 is chosen for speeds 2 and above.

      The macro block mode info context originally contained an
