- 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 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 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.
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 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.
Changes encoder_state_init_new_frame to only call normalize_lcu_weights
when the weights have been written to the array and rate control is
enabled. When rate control is disabled, the weights are not used.
Adds field max_inter_ref_lcu to encoder_control_t. It is used to set up
inter-LCU dependencies in encoder_state_encode_leaf and restrict motion
vectors in fracmv_within_tile.
When using WPP and OWF, the first CTU of a row depends on the last CTU
of the row below in the reference frame. This is necessary when SAO is
enabled since we currently do SAO for a whole CTU row at a time. When
SAO is disabled, however, it is unnecessary to wait for the whole row.
Changes CTUs to depend only on the CTU below in the reference frame
instead of the whole row when WPP and OWF are enabled and SAO disabled.
Gives a significant speedup when running on a machine with many CPU
cores.
Moves SAO reconstruction into encoder_state_worker_encode_lcu instead of
doing it in a separate step for the whole CTU row. Reconstruction of the
rightmost 10 pixels and bottommost 10 pixels of a CTU is delayed until
the neighboring CTU has been deblocked.
Doing SAO for the whole CTU row at a time caused unnecessary inter-CTU
dependencies when using WPP and OWF. The first CTU of a row would need
to wait until SAO was done for the row below in the previous frame.
Moving SAO reconstruction to immediately after deblocking each CTU fixes
this problem.
Adds width and height parameters to function kvz_sao_reconstruct and
changes it to take coordinates in units of pixels. This will be useful
for doing SAO for areas smaller than a whole CTU.
Changes functions encode_intra_coding_unit and encode_coding_tree to
take coordinate arguments in units of luma pixels instead of 8 px
blocks. This should make the code easier to understand.
A CryptoPP::CFB_Mode<CryptoPP::AES>::Encryption was allocated at the
beginning of encoder_state_encode_leaf and was never freed. This commit
changes encoder_state_worker_encode_lcu to delete the CFB_Mode. Also
moves crypto handle from encoder_state_config_tile_t to encoder_state_t
so that it can be safely deleted without affecting other threads in the
same tile.
Changes the way coefficients are passed from kvz_search_lcu to
kvz_encode_coding_tree. Drops fields coeff_y, coeff_u and coeff_v in
videoframe_t and instead passes them through field coeff in
endoder_state_t.
Delta QPs for LCUs are enabled when either ROI coding or rate control is
enabled. Having a single field is simpler than always checking whether
ROI or rate control is enabled.
When WPP is enabled, a reference to SAO reconstruction job is copied
from the wavefront to the main encoder state. However, when threads are
disabled, the job is a null pointer and dereferencing it crashes the
encoder. Fixed by adding a null pointer check.
Both the thread queue and the encoder states hold pointers to the thread
queue jobs. It is possible that a job is removed from the thread queue
and freed while the encoder state is still using it. This commit adds
reference counting to threadqueue_job_t in order to fix the problem.
Fixes#161.
Some of the fields in encoder_control_t were simply copies of the
corresponding fields in kvz_config. This commit drops the copied fields
in favor of using the fields in encoder_control_t.cfg directly.
The kvz_config struct is created by the user but kvazaar keeps a pointer
to it. It is easy to break things by modifying the configuration outside
kvazaar. In addition, kvazaar modifies the struct even though it is has
a const modifier.
This commit changes the field cfg in encoder_control_t to be a copy of
the kvz_config struct instead of a pointer, removing modifications to
the const struct and allowing users to do whatever they want with it
after opening the encoder.
This encapsulates tiles or WPP rows into their own slices, making
it possible to send them as soon as they are done, instead of waiting
for the other substreams to finish and coding the substream offsets
in the slice header.
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.
