      test_libvpx: disable pthreads in gtest · 90a9900a
      James Zern authored
      currently threading is internal to libvpx so thread safety is unneeded
      in libgtest -- visual studio builds already operate in this way as they
      do not have pthread.h available by default.
      
      this removes an unconditional link to libpthread using $(extralibs)
      should libvpx require it.

      Reimplementation of loop filter · 043d348a
      John Koleszar authored
      This version of the loop filter supports non-4:2:0 subsampling and
      a fourth plane, as well as changing the filtering order to be more
      friendly to hardware implementations.
      
      The filters are applied first to all vertical edges within the
      64x64 SB, followed by the top horizontal edge and any internal
      horizontal edges. Since filtering is applied on each 4x4 edge
      serially, a dependency is created from filtering one block edge
      to the next. It would be possible to remove this depencnecy by
      building all filtering decisions from the unfiltered
      reconstruction data.

      Balancing coef-tree to reduce bool decodes · b8b3f1a4
      Deb Mukherjee authored
      This patch changes the coefficient tree to move the EOB to below
      the ZERO node in order to save number of bool decodes.
      
      The advantages of moving EOB one step down as opposed to two steps down
      in the other parallel patch are: 1. The coef modeling based on
      the One-node becomes independent of the tree structure above it, and
      2. Fewer conext/counter increases are needed.
      
      The drawback is that the potential savings in bool decodes will be
      less, but assuming that 0s are much more predominant than 1's the
      potential savings is still likely to be substantial.
      
      Results on derf300: -0.237%

      Add support for armv7-win32-vs11 · ad484fc6
      Martin Storsjo authored
      The arm assembly files are named .s after conversion, to reuse
      as much of the existing makefile infrastructure for conversion to
      gas format as possible. Within the generated visual studio project,
      only the converted assembly sources are available, which might not
      be optimal for actually developing it, but is acceptable for
      just building the library.
      
      Multithreading is disabled since the traditional win32 threading
      functions aren't available on WinRT/Windows Phone 8.
      
      Building of vpx itself and the examples succeed, while building the
      tests fail due to them using functions not available in the
      windows store/windows phone API subsets - therefore the unit tests
      are disabled.
      
      This works for building in Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows
      Phone, while Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8 (for
      "Windows Store" apps) seems to reject the vcxproj files due to
      not supporting "classic style native application or managed
      projects". The built static library should be compatible with that
      platform though.

      Initial version of alpha channel support · 679e4abd
      John Koleszar authored
      This is a mostly-working implementation of an extra channel in the
      bitstream. Configure with --enable-alpha to test. Notable TODOs:
      
       - Add extra channel to all mismatch tests, PSNR, SSIM, etc
       - Configurable subsampling
       - Variable number of planes (currently always uses all 4)
       - Loop filtering
       - Per-plane lossless quantizer
       - ARNR support
      
      This implementation just uses the same contents as the Y channel
      for the A channel, due to lack of content and general pain in
      playing back 4 channel content. A later patch will use the actual
      alpha channel passed in from outside the codec.

      Add joint motion search in comp_inter_inter mode(experiment) · 9f5811c2
      Yunqing Wang authored
      In current code, motion vectors got from single prediction mode are used
      in compound prediction mode directly. These motion vectors may not give
      accurate prediction since they are searched independently. In this patch,
      we took Pascal's suggestion, and did joint motion search in compound
      prediction mode to find better motion vectors in this situation.
      Test results:
      Overall PSNR: 0.570%(derf), 0.918%(stdhd);
      SSIM: 0.572%(derf), 1.009%(stdhd);
      
      The encoder is a little slower. This can be improved since some c
      code is used in motion search.

      Initial addition of multiple ARF frames · c2876cf0
      Adrian Grange authored
      This is work-in-progress, it implements multiple ARF
      encoding behind an experimental flag.
      
      It adds the ability to insert multiple ARF frames into a
      single ARF group. This patch implements the reordering
      of the coded frames, and implements a fixed-length coding
      pattern. It applies a fixed quantizer strategy based on
      where the frame is in the coding sequence.
      
      Further work to modify the rate control strategy is
      ongoing and will be submitted via a set of future patches.
      
      In this first step, each ARF group is recursively
      bisected and an ARF frame added at that position in the
      sequence. The recursion continues until ARF frames are
      within MIN_GF_INTERVAL frames.
      
      The code sits behind the "multiple-arf" experimental
      flag ("CONFIG_MULTIPLE_ARF"). The experimental flag
      "oneshotq" ("CONFIG_ONESHOTQ") also needs to be enabled
      for this patch to work correctly.

      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.

      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.
