      Implicit weighted prediction experiment · 23144d23
      Deb Mukherjee authored
      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.

      Add col/row-based coefficient scanning patterns for 1D 8x8/16x16 ADSTs. · d9094d8f
      Ronald S. Bultje authored
      These are mostly just for experimental purposes. I saw small gains (in
      the 0.1% range) when playing with this on derf.

      Redo banding for all transforms. · 3120dbdd
      Ronald S. Bultje authored
      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%.

      Use above/left (instead of previous in scan-order) as token context. · 790fb132
      Ronald S. Bultje authored
      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.

      Add an in-loop deringing experiment · 441e2eab
      John Koleszar authored
      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.

      Modeling default coef probs with distribution · fd18d5df
      Deb Mukherjee authored
      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.
