Speed up motion estimation using small partitions' result(experiment)
Yunqing Wang authored
Current partition checking starts from small sizes, and then goes up
to large sizes. This experiment uses the small partitions' motion
estimation result, which is already available, to speed up the
large partition's motion estimation. We can decide to skip some
patition checkings if they are unlikely choices. We could use the
motion vector(MV) result as current partition's prediction MV, limit
the search range and reference frame.

Current result at speed 1:
psnr loss: 1.19% for stdhd, 0.287% for derf.
speed gain: 14% for sunflower(hd), 11% for akiyo.

Further improvement will be done later.
