      Removal of CONFIG_NEW_MVREF experiment. · aa76bf3d
      Paul Wilkins authored
      This experiment has failed to give much benefit but
      does add complexity so deprecated.

      Simplification of MVref search. · 92e8a3f5
      Paul Wilkins authored
      As we are no longer able to sort the candidate
      mvrefs in both encoder and decode and given
      that the cost of explicit signalling has proved
      prohibitive, it no longer makes sense to find more
      than 2 candidates.
      
      This patch:
      
      Modifies and simplifies add_candidate_mv()
      
      Removes the forced addition of a 0 vector in the
      MAX_MV_REF_CANDIDATES-1 position (in preparation
      to reducing MAX_MV_REF_CANDIDATES to 2).
      
      Re-orders the addition of candidates slightly.
      
      This actually gives small gains (circa 0.2% on std-hd)
      
      A subsequent patch will remove NEW_MVREF experiment,
      reduce MAX_MV_REF_CANDIDATES to 2 and remove distance
      weights as these are implicit now in the order.

      Adjustments to key frame sizing. · 21ff7bdc
      Paul Wilkins authored
      Adjustments take heavier account of the frame near a kf
      in deciding boost and limit the total number that can contribute.
      Also adjusted the minq calculations such that in most cases we
      generate a smaller key frame.
      Modified the code that accounts for how static the sequence is and
      added some adjustment based on image size. This is still very
      crude but smaller images tend to behave better with a larger
      delta between KF Q and other frames than larger image formats.
      Changes give sizable gains in overall PSNR  on all the test sets but the
      biggest gains (~3%) were on the std-hd set.
      The gains were smaller for SSIM but still significant.
      Average PSNR results are mixed because this metric can very easily
      be altered by having a very good / lossless coding of one or two frames.
      Some of the YT and YT-HD clips in particular have blank lead ins and
      allowing lossless coding of these appears to make a big difference to
      average PSNR but it reality does not help much at all.

      Removing rounding from UV MV calculation · 2987fa1d
      John Koleszar authored
      Consider the previous behavior for the MV 1 3/8 (11/8 pel). In the
      existing code, the fractional part of the MV is considered separately,
      and rounded is applied, giving a result of 6/8. Rounding is not required
      in this case, as we're increasing the precision from a q3 to a q4, and
      the correct value 11/16 can be represented exactly.
      
      Slight gain observed (+.033 average on derf)

      make buid_inter_predictors block size agnostic (luma) · 4924934d
      John Koleszar authored
      This commit converts the luma versions of vp9_build_inter_predictors_sb
      to use a common function. Update the convolution functions to support
      block sizes larger than 16x16, and add a foreach_predicted_block walker.
      
      Next step will be to calculate the UV motion vector and implement SBUV,
      then fold in vp9_build_inter16x16_predictors_mb and SPLITMV.
      
      At the 16x16, 32x32, and 64x64 levels implemented in this commit, each
      plane is predicted with only a single call to vp9_build_inter_predictor.
      This is not yet called for SPLITMV. If the notion of SPLITMV/I8X8/I4X4
      goes away, then the prediction block walker can go away, since we'll
      always predict the whole bsize in a single step. Implemented using a
      block walker at this stage for SPLITMV, as a 4x4 "prediction block size"
      within the BLOCK_SIZE_MB16X16 macroblock. It would also support other
      rectangular sizes too, if the blocks smaller than 16x16 remain
      implemented as a SPLITMV-like thing. Just using 4x4 for now.
      
      There's also a potential to combine with the foreach_transformed_block
      walker if the logic for calculating the size of the subsampled
      transform is made more straightforward, perhaps as a consequence of
      supporing smaller macroblocks than 16x16. Will watch what happens there.
