All intra coding is a special case so it can be permitted even though
Kvazaar normally only supports intra periods that are divisible by the
GOP length.
- 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.
Changes asserts on the reference count of objects to assert the value
after KVZ_ATOMIC_INC instead of directly checking the value. Fixes some
data races detected by TSan.
- Adds missing default values.
- Adds help for --crypto and --key.
- Adds help for --rd=3.
- Adds help for --sao options.
- Some changes to help wording.
The transform skip flag in cu_info_t was stored under the intra
substruct even though transform skip can be used for inter as well. This
caused bitstream errors. Fixed by moving the flag out of the substruct.
Adds an additional grid search step that starts from the zero motion
vector after the normal grid search. The search range for this step is
half of the normal range.
- Changes TZ grid search and star refinement to keep the origin constant
instead of moving to the best position after each iteration.
- Changes star refinement to loop until there is no more improvement,
instead of running the step only once.
When the starting point for integer motion estimation was selected among
the merge candidates, the candidate motion vectors were always rounded
down. This commit changes the rounding so that they are rounded to the
nearest integer MV instead.
Changes reference index list creation so that the negative references
are added to L1 in addition to L0 when biprediction is enabled and no
reordering of pictures is done. Biprediction can now be used with the
low-delay GOP structure.
Changes the crypto module to use unsigned char instead of byte. The byte
typedef is no longer included in the global namespace in crypto++ 6.0.0.
See https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp/issues/442.
Fixes#184.
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.
Moves duplicate code for writing the MVD of a single motion vector from
kvz_get_mvd_coding_cost_cabac and encoder_inter_prediction_unit to a new
function.
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.
DST function was returned for inter luma transform blocks of size 4x4
even though they must use DCT. Fixed by checking the prediction mode of
the block in addition to whether it is chroma or luma.
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.
Overrides the linkers used for kvazaar, libkvazaar.la and kvazaar_tests.
When crypto++ is enabled, the C++ linker is used and when it is
disabled, the C linker is used.
This removes the need to explicitly specify -lstdc++ in configure when
crypto++ is used and fixes the build with crypto++ when libstd++ is not
installed.
- Fixes two errors in calculating the POC for the reference frame for
temporal candidate MV scaling.
- Fixes using the MV for the wrong direction when the temporal MV
predictor block uses bi-prediction.
Fixes#160.
Changes handling of intra pictures for --gop=8 so that every picture
with POC divisible by the intra period is intra. The first picture is
IDR and the rest of the intra pictures are CRA. POC is not reset at CRA
pictures. The leading pictures that follow the CRA picture are changed
to RASL so they are allowed to refer to pictures before the CRA picture.
Changes inter slice types to P when the L1 reference list is empty and
to B otherwise.
In all-intra, all pictures are now IDR pictures with POC zero.
When using --gop=8 with an intra period greater than one, a single POC
would be skipped before every intra frame. This commit fixes the problem
by turning the intra frames into BLA frames with leading pictures when
using --gop=8.
Changes thread queue so that only the jobs that are ready to run are
stored in the queue. Other jobs are kept track of by pointers in the
reverse dependency lists of other jobs. When a job is ready to run it is
appended to the queue. The job queue is stored as a linked list.
The definitions of threadqueue_queue_t and threadqueue_job_t are moved
to the .c file, turning them into opaque structs.
Makes thread queue code simpler. Fixes some TSan errors.
Adds struct inter_search_info_t for holding the parameters that are used
by most function related to inter search. Passing the parameters in
a single struct greatly reduces the number of parameters for many
functions.
Functions kvz_sao_reconstruct and encoder_sao_reconstruct used
frame->width as the stride instead of frame->rec->stride when accessing
frame->rec->data. This caused errors when using tiles and SAO.
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.
Changes field state->tile->frame->cu_array->data to point to the CU
array in the main encoder state. Removes the need to copy the CU array
to the main CU array after search.
