There were 4 variants of the quantize loop in vp9_quantize.c, now
there is 1.

All members can be referenced from their per-plane counterparts, and
removes assumptions about 24 blocks per macroblock.

Move rectangular superblock coding out of experimental list.

Change-Id: I96c37547d122330d666a67b4bf577ae54547857f

This commit enables selecting probability models for recursive block
partition information syntax, depending on its above/left partition
information, as well as the current block size. These conditional
probability models are reasonably stationary and consistent across
frames, hence the backward adaptive approach is used to maintain and
update the contextual models.

It achieves coding performance gains (on top of enabling rectangular
block sizes):
derf:   0.242%
yt:     0.391%
hd:     0.376%
stdhd:  0.645%

This data is fixed at the MB level, so move it to the common part
of MACROBLOCK.

Change-Id: Idd8c87118e501cdf0a202bd84c28b502a8234edf

Quantizers can vary per plane, but not per block. Move these values to
the per-plane part of MACROBLOCK.

Change-Id: I320a55e38b7b28b29aec751a4aca5ccd0c9b9326

Lookup the data per-plane from the MACROBLOCK struct.

Change-Id: I9253c4d3cf886aa9ab4aeab23a2156bfcf994ede

This commit moves the coeff storage from the MACROBLOCK struct to its
per-plane part. The next commit will remove the coeff member from the
BLOCK structure so that it is consistently accessed per-plane.

Also refactors vp9_sb_block_error_c and vp9_sb_uv_block_error_c to be
variable subsampling aware.

Change-Id: I18c30f87f27c3a012119b6c1970d5fa499804455

The variable gf_active_ptr is not used anywhere, hence is removed.

Change-Id: I6badc20fade48ae12fd19e7e4cd8fe5e051c20ac

First in a series of commits making certain MACROBLOCK members
addressable per-plane. This commit also refactors the block subtraction
functions vp9_subtract_b, vp9_subtract_sby_c, etc to be
loops-over-planes and variable subsampling aware.

This version of speed 1 only disables modes at higher resolution that
had distortions >2x the best mode we found...

The hope is that this could be a replacement for speed 0 ...

This patch does not seem to give any benefits.

Change-Id: I9d2b4091d6af3dfc0875f24db86c01e2de57f8db

Adds RD integration for 32x16, 16x32, 64x32 and 32x64 rectangular blocks.
Derf almost +0.6%, HD a little over +1.0%, STDHD +1.3%.

Change-Id: Id651fdb6a655fdbb5c47009757e63317acfb88a5

Merge sb32x32 and sb64x64 functions; allow for rectangular sizes. Code
gives identical encoder results before and after. There are a few
macros for rectangular block sizes under the sbsegment experiment; this
experiment is not yet functional and should not yet be used.

Change-Id: I71f93b5d2a1596e99a6f01f29c3f0a456694d728

Continue migrating data from BLOCKD/MACROBLOCKD to the per-plane
structures.

Change-Id: Ibbfa68d6da438d32dcbe8df68245ee28b0a2fa2c

These are mostly just for experimental purposes. I saw small gains (in
the 0.1% range) when playing with this on derf.

Change-Id: Ib21eed477bbb46bddcd73b21c5c708a5b46abedc

This patch revamps the entropy coding of coefficients to code first
a non-zero count per coded block and correspondingly remove the EOB
token from the token set.

STATUS:
Main encode/decode code achieving encode/decode sync - done.
Forward and backward probability updates to the nzcs - done.
Rd costing updates for nzcs - done.
Note: The dynamic progrmaming apporach used in trellis quantization
is not exactly compatible with nzcs. A suboptimal approach has been
used instead where branch costs are updated to account for changes
in the nzcs.

TODO:
Training the default probs/counts for nzcs

Change-Id: I951bc1e22f47885077a7453a09b0493daa77883d

Split macroblock and superblock tokenization and detokenization
functions and coefficient-related data structs so that the bitstream
layout and related code of superblock coefficients looks less like it's
a hack to fit macroblocks in superblocks.

In addition, unify chroma transform size selection from luma transform
size (i.e. always use the same size, as long as it fits the predictor);
in practice, this means 32x32 and 64x64 superblocks using the 16x16 luma
transform will now use the 16x16 (instead of the 8x8) chroma transform,
and 64x64 superblocks using the 32x32 luma transform will now use the
32x32 (instead of the 16x16) chroma transform.

Lastly, add a trellis optimize function for 32x32 transform blocks.

HD gains about 0.3%, STDHD about 0.15% and derf about 0.1%. There's
a few negative points here and there that I might want to analyze
a little closer.

1. Added a bit in frame header to  to indicate if a frame is encoded
in lossless mode, so decoder does not make the decision based on Q0
2. Minor changes to make sure that lossy coding works same as when
the lossless experiment is not enabled.
3. Renamed function pointers for transforms to be consistent, using
prefix fwd_txm and inv_txm for forward and inverse respectively

To encode in lossless mode, using "--lossless=1 --min-q=0 --max-q=0"
with vpxenc.

Change-Id: Ifae53b26d2ffbe378d707e29d96817b8a5e6c068

Remove eob_max_offset markers and replace
with the generic skip_block flag to indicate
to the quantizer that all coeffs to be set to 0
and eob position set to 0;

For coefficients, use int16_t (instead of short); for pixel values in
16-bit intermediates, use uint16_t (instead of unsigned short); for all
others, use uint8_t (instead of unsigned char).

Some further changes and refactoring of mv
reference code and selection of center point for
searches. Mainly relates to not passing so many
different local copies of things around.

Some place holder comments.

Use these, instead of the 4/5-dimensional arrays, to hold statistics,
counts, accumulations and probabilities for coefficient tokens. This
commit also re-allows ENTROPY_STATS to compile.

Change-Id: If441ffac936f52a3af91d8f2922ea8a0ceabdaa5

This adds Debargha's DCT/DWT hybrid and a regular 32x32 DCT, and adds
code all over the place to wrap that in the bitstream/encoder/decoder/RD.

Some implementation notes (these probably need careful review):
- token range is extended by 1 bit, since the value range out of this
  transform is [-16384,16383].
- the coefficients coming out of the FDCT are manually scaled back by
  1 bit, or else they won't fit in int16_t (they are 17 bits). Because
  of this, the RD error scoring does not right-shift the MSE score by
  two (unlike for 4x4/8x8/16x16).
- to compensate for this loss in precision, the quantizer is halved
  also. This is currently a little hacky.
- FDCT and IDCT is double-only right now. Needs a fixed-point impl.
- There are no default probabilities for the 32x32 transform yet; I'm
  simply using the 16x16 luma ones. A future commit will add newly
  generated probabilities for all transforms.
- No ADST version. I don't think we'll add one for this level; if an
  ADST is desired, transform-size selection can scale back to 16x16
  or lower, and use an ADST at that level.

Additional notes specific to Debargha's DWT/DCT hybrid:
- coefficient scale is different for the top/left 16x16 (DCT-over-DWT)
  block than for the rest (DWT pixel differences) of the block. Therefore,
  RD error scoring isn't easily scalable between coefficient and pixel
  domain. Thus, unfortunately, we need to compute the RD distortion in
  the pixel domain until we figure out how to scale these appropriately.

This patch reduces the cpu cost of the MV ref
search by only allowing insert for candidates
that would be in the current top 4.

This could alter the outcome and slightly favors
near candidates which are tested first but also
limits the worst case loop count to 4 and means in
many cases it will drop out and not happen.

Support for gyp which doesn't support multiple objects in the same
static library having the same basename.

Change-Id: Ib947eefbaf68f8b177a796d23f875ccdfa6bc9dc

This should prevent inconsistent results between identical encodes with
the superblock experiment turned on.

Change-Id: I41a005fae53f2eb59736cc70041185fb7d63cfca

Preliminary patch on a new 4x4 intra mode B_CONTEXT_PRED where the
dominant direction from the context is used to encode. Various decoder
changes are needed to support decoding of B_CONTEXT_PRED in conjunction
with hybrid transforms since the scan order and tokenization depends on
the actual direction of prediction obtained from the context. Currently
the traditional directional modes are used in conjunction with the
B_CONTEXT_PRED, which also seems to provide the best results.

The gains are small - in the 0.1% range.
