These fixes allow more than one slice to be used to code a picture.
- Use correct number of bits to code the slice segment address.
- Don't offset_len_minus1 for slices without substreams.
Appending to the child stream doesn't work is the child is a leaf
slice state.
Simplifies flow by removing distinction between tile and slice. Now
that slice headers are written in the parent stream, there is zero
difference between tiles and slices from bitstream point of view.
Having some of the termination bits in the LCU coding and some in the
substream finalization was needlessly confusing. Doing substream
finalization directly after LCU coding makes it easy to verify that the
finalization is done correctly.
Removes one job per WPP row from the job queue.
Removes kvz_cabac_flush, because I don't like bits being put into the
bitstream implicitly. Better to have it all in the open.
When the number of merge candidates was five, biprediction search would
read past the bounds of the priority list arrays. Fixed to limit the
search to the first four candidates.
- Checks the return value of fopen when opening the ROI file. Fixes
a segfault when the file cannot be opened.
- Check that the width and height are positive. Fixes reading past the
end of the delta QP array in kvz_set_lcu_lambda_and_qp.
- Check for overflow in width * height. Fixes an overflow resulting in
a segfault.
- Properly check that fscanf succeeds. Fixes silently accepting ROI
files that are too short.
- Properly close the FILE pointer.
The function search_pu_inter_ref incorrectly rounded the coordinates of
the block to down to a multiple 8 pixels. Small SMP and AMP blocks may
start at coordinates that are not multiples of 8. Fixed by removing the
rounding.
Fixes a failing assert when --mv-constraint is used with --smp or --amp.
Stops assuming that having cfg->gop_lowdelay set means that GOP
structure is used since it is possible that cfg->gop_lowdelay is true
but cfg->gop_len is zero. Adds checks for cfg->gop_len where needed.
Fixes a possible division by zero in kvz_encoder_feed_frame.
Drop a conditional for depth > MAX_DEPTH in search_cu. The depth cannot
be greater than MAX_DEPTH (== 3) since an earlier if-clause checks that
it is less than MAX_PU_DEPTH (== 4).
Subpixel motion estimation return 0-vector when no subpixel vector is
within the constraint. Fix is to not call subpixel motion estimation
when the integer vector is not within the constraint.
Rename and reorder everything to make more sense.
- Moved input tables into their own struct and renamed them to what
they actually represent.
- Renamed pretty much every variable to comform to our style and
to make sense.
- Removed the lastCG stuff, as the function already gets passed the
last coeff anyway. (it was named width, what the hell?)
This is to prepare for changing the code using the floating point table
to use the fixed point table instead.
This also allows reducing the size of the fractional part, which was
useful for finding every place where the the fixed point presentation
is relied upon.
Changes luma deblocking to use gather and scatter instead of reading
to and writing from here and there in memory. Should make them
faster and easier to vectorize, or at least cleaner.
Splits strong and weak luma deblocking to two functions, as they have
almost nothing in common.
Adds field lcu_stats to encoder_state_config_frame_t. The following data
is recorded for each LCU:
- number of bits
- squared cost
- used lambda value
- alpha parameter used for rate control
- beta parameter used for rate control
When rate control is enabled, enable cu_qp_delta_enabled_flag in PPS
with diff_cu_qp_delta_depth set to 0. Also adds code for writing the QP
deltas and a new cabac context.
Adds fields lambda, lambda_sqrt and qp to encoder_state_t. Drops field
cur_lambda_cost_sqrt from encoder_state_config_frame_t and renames
cur_lambda_cost to lambda.
- Defines MIN_LAMBDA and MAX_LAMBDA constants.
- Moves resetting state->frame->cur_gop_bits_coded to rate_control.c.
- Changes gop_allocate_bits to return the number of bits allocated like
pic_allocate_bits does.
When --threads=auto was given on the command line, cfg->threads was
actually set to zero, disabling threads altogether. Fixed to set
cfg->threads to -1, so that the number of threads is chosen
automatically.
The CABAC engine only writes to the bitstream when it has a full byte.
These writes are also always byte-aligned, so there is no need to even
check for stream alignment.
Speedup was around 3% with ultrafast and low QP.
Enforce bit depth promised by --input-bitdepth to avoid crashes when
larger values are provided.
Do endianess byte swap for all bytes when the buffer gets extended
to multiple of 8 pixels, and not just the number of input pixels.
Don't swap bytes on a little-endian system.
- Reduce indentation to 6 spaces
- Word wrap everything to under 80 characters
- Remove defaults from options covered by presets
- Add a dash in front of argument descriptions
- Add --(no-) to names of parameters that accept it and remove mention
of enabling or disabling
- Add executable and scripts as a dependancy to make docs
This value is not represented in the HEVC bitstream, which is why it
was not set previously. FFmpeg sets and needs it however, so make the
CLI set it as well to make sure we handle it correctly.
The rd-complexity of slow presets is better with a less agressive GOP.
Adding the GOP as part of the preset improved BDRate enough, that it
didn't make sense anymore to have a veryslow target the best BDRate.
Instead, push that responsibility to placebo by making it a little bit
faster.
GOPs with depth 1 had the same structure as those with depth 2:
g4d3t1 = 3 2 3 1
g4d2t1 = 2 2 2 1
g4d1t1 = 2 2 2 1
It now results in the correct:
g4d1t1 = 1 1 1 1
Coding inter without GOP of any kind really isn't a very sensible
default. Defaulting to B-GOP of some kind would be more better,
but lp-gop is more robust for now.
Use the vectorized general SSE41 inter SAD in AVX reg_sad for shapes
for which we don't have AVX versions yet.
Also improves speed of --smp and --amp a lot. Got a 1.25x speedup for:
--preset=ultrafast -q 27 --gop=lp-g4d3r3t1 --me-early-termination=on --rd=1 --pu-depth-inter=1-3 --smp --amp

Add implementations for these functions that process the image line by
line instead of using the 16x16 function to process block by block.
The 32x32 is around 30% faster, and 64x64 is around 15% faster,
on Haswell.

Arrange the decision tree such that there is only 3 branches on the
most common paths and the more likely branch is always fall-through.
A profile guided optimization pass would probably do something similar.
A lot of time is being taken up by this function on ultrafast, and it
doesn't do a very good job. This change aims to both simplify the
logic and make the estimate better.
The logic is simplified by using a look up for the step mvd bit cost
step function instead of mimicking the binarization process. The
estimation is made better by checking fractional cabac bit costs.
The new function returns the same results as
kvz_get_mvd_coding_cost_cabac, but is also faster than the old
function.
Write bitstream without chroma when encoding with --input-format=P400.
This reduces bitstream size by 0-1 %, compared to coding monochrome in
420 format, and speeds up encoding slightly due to not processing
chroma.
Changes encoder_set_source_picture to set the reconstructed picture to
a copy of the source picture instead of allocating a new picture when
lossless coding is used.
- Moves allocation of the reconstructed picture after the source picture
is set.
- Extracts main state initialization to a separate function from
encoder_state_new_frame.
- Changes kvz_encoder_feed_frame to return the frame.
- Renames some functions to better match their purpose.
When --lossless is given, set cu_transquant_bypass_flag for every CU and
bypass transform and quantization by directly copying reference pixels
to reconstruction and the residual to coefficients.
When a list does not have space for the new element, its size is
doubled. If the size of the list is zero, it would not be resized. Fixed
to always resize the list so that the new element can be added.
Enables search for 2NxN and Nx2N partition modes for 8x8 CUs and 2NxnU,
2NxnD, nLx2N and nRx2N partition modes for 16x16 CUs.
Changes the loop for copying reconstructed luma pixels in
kvz_inter_recon_lcu to use 4 byte chunks instead of 8 byte chunks since
it is now possible to have 4 pixel wide blocks.
The first frame was always qp51 due to gop_offset being -1 for the
first frame. This fix makes it so that bits are allocated as if it was
the last (high quality) frame from the previous GOP.
When using ratecontrol with lowdelay-P, this improves BDRate by 1-25%.
Strongest effect is when using 4 layers and multiple references.
Also allow using 1 or 2 layers with ratecontrol.
This problem resulted in an illegal bitstream with --gop=lp, because it
uses IDR's. The --gop=8 would not code IDR pictures, even when told to
with -p, which masked this problem.
This fix solves the problem with --gop=lp and also prevents references
across the intra picture in --gop=8. The intra pictures should be set
to IDR in a later fix, or an alternate method of differentiating
between IDR and non-IDR intra should be made.
The includes should make more sense now and not just happen to compile
due to headers included from other headers.
Used a modified version of IWYU. Modifications were to attribute int8_t
and so on to stdint.h instead of sys/types.h and immintrin.h instead of
more specific headers.
include-what-you-use 0.7 (git:b70df35)
based on clang version 3.9.0 (trunk 264728)
While these are only used for strategies, it's non-intuitive to have
to include strategyselector.h in every file under strategies before
including anything else.
The main thread has to wait for the worker threads to finish. The
pthread_cond_timedwait call used to accomplish this was given
a relative instead of absolute time, which resulted in the call
returning immediately, because the time had already passed.
This removes the now unnecessary sleeps and fixes the time given to
the pthread_cond_timedwait such that it now waits until a job finishes
or 100ms have passed.
The OWF wpp limit code assumed square blocks, and as such did not work
correctly when height != width. This changes the relevant code to consider
both height and width.
Add md5 through extras/libmd5 taken from HM with BSD license. It's
implemented as a generic strategy using the same interface as checksum,
so we can write a SIMD version if it seems necessary.
The previous reasoning used deblocking and fractional motion estimation
together to arrive at a margin of 4 pixels. This was wrong, and with
either of these off, half pixel chroma interpolation could use pixels
outside the intended region.
Deblocking does not currently affect the margin needed.
I was a bit unclear about exactly what happens and when regarding SAO
and deblocking when we do frame-parallel WPP parallelism, so I checked
and commented the bits that were unclear to me.
