EXTENSIONS
----------
This is a list of things that we'd like to incorporate into the encoder.
If you succeed in implementing any of them, please let us know!
* better B-frame search technique
* use DCT-space when computing error terms
* vary the q-scale according to the error term
* other motion vector search techniques
* modify the program to have a finer-grained parallelism option -- we
can probably encode slices in parallel (this will only be useful if we
want to do a few B-frames using exhaustive search)
* non-default quantization matrices are not currently supported
* adhere to bit-rate requirements
* include system layer
CREATING YOUR OWN MOTION SEARCH ROUTINES
----------------------------------------
Adding your own special motion search routine is very easy. We'll explain
adding a P-frame search routine; adding a B-frame routine is similar.
First, edit the procedures PMotionSearch and SetPSearchAlg (both in the
file psearch.c) to recognize your new search routine. You probably want
to define a constant
PSEARCH_<your search name> in headers/search.h
Have PMotionSearch call your search procedure just as it calls the other
standard search procedures. Make sure your procedure follows the guidelines
in the comments for PMotionSearch.
Note: The encoder uses MAD as its search criterion. The reason for this:
"Among the various criteria that can be used as a measure of the
match between the two blocks, the mean absolute difference (MAD)
is favored because it requires no multiplication and gives
similar performance as the mean squared error (MSE)."
