Adds a per-frame, strength adjustable, in loop deringing filter. Uses
the existing vp9_post_proc_down_and_across 5 tap thresholded blur
code, with a brute force search for the threshold.

Results almost strictly positive on the YT HD set, either having no
effect or helping PSNR in the range of 1-3% (overall average 0.8%).
Results more mixed for the CIF set, (-0.5 min, 1.4 max, 0.1 avg).
This has an almost strictly negative impact to SSIM, so examining a
different filter or a more balanced search heuristic is in order.

Other test set results pending.

Fixes an issue with model based update that got into
the original patch that was merged.

Change-Id: Ie42d3d0aff2e48cd187d96664dbd3e9d6d3ac22f

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.

This fix resolves some of the mismatch issues being seen
recently. While this is the right thing to do when tiling
is used for this experiment, it is not the underlying cause
of the the mismatches.
Something else is causing writing outside of the allowable
frame area in the encoder leading to this mismatch.

Updates the YV12_BUFFER_CONFIG structure to be crop-aware. The
exiting width/height parameters are left unchanged, storing the
width and height algined to a 16 byte boundary. The cropped
dimensions are added as new fields.

This fixes a nasty visual pulse when switching between scaled and
unscaled frame dimensions due to a mismatch between the scaling
ratio and the 16-byte aligned sizes.

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.

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.

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.

This patch extends the previous support for using references of a
different resolution in ZEROMV mode to all inter prediction modes.
Subpixel based best-mv scoring is disabled when the reference frame
differs in resolution from the current frame.

Change-Id: Id4dc3e5e6692de98d9857fd56bfad3ac57e944ac

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.

Wrote SSE2 version of vp9_dc_only_idct_add_c function. In order to

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.

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.

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.

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 vect...

Adds a flag to disable features that would inhibit frame parallel
decoding. This includes backward adaptation and MV sorting based
on search in ref frame buffer.

Also includes some minor clean-ups.

Change-Id: I434846717a47b7bcb244b37ea670c5cdf776f14d

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.
