- This changes the bitstream a little bit, because it changes the order in
which the modes are tried and when two modes have the same cost the first
one is chosen.
- Dst buffer was removes as it was no longer used.
- Moved NxN search to be done on the same level as other searches, as it's
really not any different from 2Nx2N.
- Produces working bitstream but reconstruction is different.
This does not currently affect the search primary search defining the used block sizes, only the refining second intra search. Gain 1.9% BD-rate on All Intra 600f of BQMall QP 22,27,32,37.
- Working towards issue #11.
- Removed intra_get_block_mode as unused.
- Removed unused parameters from functions. Many of them were remnants from
earlier data structures and earlier features of HEVC that have been removed.
- Lots of implicit conversions from larger types to smaller ones. I tried to
avoid turning all of them to explicit ones this time and opted for changing
the original data type instead. Had to do it in few cases though to stop the
changes from propagating too widely.
The search_buildReferenceBorder was an ugly hack and a place for bugs to hide
that should never have existed. Now it doesn't.
The change reduces PSNR a little, but also reduces the bitrate, when the
expected result was to have no change in either. I'm guessing there was still
some bug in the search_buildReferenceBorder, but the bug could also be in
intra_build_reference_border. Will have to do more testing to be sure, but
having one place to look at will be better than having two.
Intra search was using faulty border data and selected modes were a bit random. Around -0.5% (LP) and -2% (AI) change in BD-rate was seen in limited testing conditions.
Conflicts:
src/encoder.c
- Chroma RDOQ changes conflicted because I had moved the chroma
quantization/dequantization to it's own function.
- Merged to master because I want my code to show up in github. =)
All the old stuff still works, even though NxN doesn't work, so there
is no reason not to merge anyway.
- Re-enable intra search based on reconstructed image.
- This didn't have as much of an effect as I thought it would.
- Re-enable SAO and deblocking.
- Disable NxN searching. (4x4 luma coding is still broken)
