      Move vp8_strict_quantize_b inside EXACT_QUANT #define. · 82c43398
      Timothy B. Terriberry authored
      There is currently no inexact version of this function, so do not
       even compile it without EXACT_QUANT.
      This will prevent someone from inadvertently trying to use it without
       the proper EXACT_QUANT setup.

      Remove INTRARDOPT #define and intra_rd_opt option. · dd08db93
      Timothy B. Terriberry authored
      This is just eliminating some cruft.
      Although a number of variables are declared only when INTRARDOPT
       is defined, they are used elsewhere without that protection, and
       no longer just for intra RDO.
      The intra_rd_opt flag was hard-coded to 1 and never checked.

      As the zbin and rounding constants are normalized, rounding effectively
      does the zbinning, therefore the zbin operation can be removed. In
      addition, the memset on the two arrays are no longer necessary.

      Tune effect of motion on KF/GF boost in two pass; · 788c0eb5
      Paul Wilkins authored
      This code adjust the impact of the amount and speed of motion
      on GF and KF boost.
      
      Sections with lots of slow motion will tend to have a
      somewhat bigger boost and sections with fast motion may
      have less.
      
      There is a knock on effect to the selection of the active
      quantizer range.
      
      This will likely require further tuning but helps with a couple
      of particularly bad edge cases.

      Fix loopfilter delta zero transitions · b9be7a46
      John Koleszar authored
      Loopfilter deltas are initialized to zero on keyframes in the decoder.
      The values then persist from the previous frame unless an update bit
      is set in the bitstream. This data is not included in the entropy
      data saved by the 'refresh entropy' bit in the bitstream, so it is
      effectively an additional contextual element beyond the 3 ref-frames
      and the entropy data.
      
      The encoder was treating this delta update bit as update-if-nonzero,
      meaning that the value would be refreshed even if it hadn't changed,
      and more significantly, if the correct value for the delta changed
      to zero, the update wouldn't be sent, and the decoder would preserve
      the last (presumably non-zero) value.
      
      This patch updates the encoder to send an update only if the value
      has changed from the previously transmitted value. It also forces the
      value to be transmitted in error resilient mode, to account for lost
      context in the event of lost frames.

      Add trellis quantization. · 8fa38096
      Timothy B. Terriberry authored
      Replace the exponential search for optimal rounding during
       quantization with a linear Viterbi trellis and enable it
       by default when using --best.
      Right now this operates on top of the output of the adaptive
       zero-bin quantizer in vp8_regular_quantize_b() and gives a small
       gain.
      It can be tested as a replacement for that quantizer by
       enabling the call to vp8_strict_quantize_b(), which uses
       normal rounding and no zero bin offset.
      Ultimately, the quantizer will have to become a function of lambda
       in order to take advantage of activity masking, since there is
       limited ability to change the quantization factor itself.
      However, currently vp8_strict_quantize_b() plus the trellis
       quantizer (which is lambda-dependent) loses to
       vp8_regular_quantize_b() alone (which is not) on my test clip.
      
      Patch Set 3:
      
      Fix an issue related to the cost evaluation of successor
      states when a coefficient is reduced to zero. With this
      issue fixed, now the trellis search almost exactly matches
      the exponential search.
      
      Patch Set 2:
      
      Overall, the goal of this patch set is to make "trellis"
      search to produce encodings that match the exponential
      search version. There are three main differences between
      Patch Set 2 and 1:
      a. Patch set 1 did not properly account for the scale of
      2nd order error, so patch set 2 disable it all together
      for 2nd blocks.
      b. Patch set 1 was not consistent on when to enable the
      the quantization optimization. Patch set 2 restore the
      condition to be consistent.
      c. Patch set 1 checks quantized level L-1, and L for any
      input coefficient was quantized to L. Patch set 2 limits
      the candidate coefficient to those that were rounded up
      to L. It is worth noting here that a strategy to check
      L and L+1 for coefficients that were truncated down to L
      might work.
      
      (a and b get trellis quant to basically match the exponential
      search on all mid/low rate encodings on cif set, without
      a, b, trellis quant can hurt the psnr by 0.2 to .3db at
      200kbps for some cif clips)
      (c gets trellis quant  to match the exponential search
      to match at Q0 encoding, without c, trellis quant can be
      1.5 to 2db lower for encodings with fixed Q at 0 on most
      derf cif clips)
