Create a separate cabac that is only used during the search. It should hold
the state that the actual cabac end after encoding said CU. Only implemented
for intra so far.
TODO: 4×4 PUs probably still have some problems
Adds command line option --fast-residual-cost=<limit>. When QP is below
the limit, estimates the cost of coding the residual coefficients from
the sum of absolute coefficients. Skipping CABAC is not worth it with
high QPs because there are fewer coefficients so CABAC is not as slow.
- Replaces lcu_dqp_enabled with max_qp_delta_depth in encoder_control_t.
- Fixes set_cu_qps so that it can handle quantization groups of
arbitrary size.
- Fixes computation of QP predictors so that it works for quantization
groups of arbitrary size.
Checks the cost of flushing all coefficients of an inter block to zero.
This is much faster than doing full RDOQ but can still reduce bitrate
significantly. Encoding speed is increased since fewer coefficient bits
have to be coded with CABAC.
SMP/AMP search is performed using a lower work tree level than the
normal inter search so the prediction info must be copied up if an
SMP/AMP mode is chosen. Previously pixels and coefficient were copied as
well. Changed to only copy prediction info.
When 4x4 intra blocks are enabled and inter search is limited to 16x16
and larger blocks, it is possible that inter search is accidentally done
for 4x4 blocks. Fixed by checking that block size is at least 8x8 before
doing inter search.
Changes the work_tree parameter in search.c functions from an array to
a pointer. Fixes "formal parameter with requested alignment of 8 won't
be aligned" errors.
Replaces function kvz_intra_recon_lcu_luma and
kvz_intra_recon_lcu_chroma in intra.c with function kvz_intra_recon_cu.
The new function can handle reconstruction for both luma and chroma.
Removes some duplicated code.
Replaces functions kvz_quantize_lcu_luma_residual and
kvz_quantize_lcu_chroma_residual in transform.c with function
kvz_quantize_lcu_residual. The new function can handle any of the YUV
colors. Removes some duplicated code.
