contrib: aom: update to 3.13.0
-
New Features
- New tuning mode AOM_TUNE_SSIMULACRA2 for the AOME_SET_TUNING codec control (--tune=ssimulacra2) in all-intra mode. The feature detection macro AOM_HAVE_TUNE_SSIMULACRA2, if defined, indicates that AOM_TUNE_SSIMULACRA2 is available. AOM_TUNE_SSIMULACRA2 was developed to maximize SSIMULACRA 2 scores.
- New codec control AV1E_SET_SCREEN_CONTENT_DETECTION_MODE
(--screen-detection-mode).
This codec control helps select between two screen detection modes:
- Mode 1: standard (default)
- Mode 2: anti-aliased text and graphics aware
- New codec control AV1E_SET_ENABLE_ADAPTIVE_SHARPNESS (--enable-adaptive-sharpness). When enabled, it modulates sharpness based on frame QP, which helps mitigate blocking artifacts in the low to medium quality range.
- Added low complexity decode mode for 720p vertical videos.
- ROI feature implemented for RTC: for delta QP, skip encoding, and reference selection.
- External scaling feature for SVC: allow downscaled images to be passed into encoder for spatial layers without reconfiguring it.
- Allow per-frame calculation of PSNR (contribution from Meta).
-
Compression Efficiency Improvements
- Variance Boost is now enabled for tuning modes AOM_TUNE_IQ and AOM_TUNE_SSIMULACRA2 at speeds 8 and 9 (2-5% SSIMULACRA 2 BD-Rate gains)
- Several quality/time tradeoff improvements and bug fixes for all
intra mode speeds 8 and 9.
- Up to 6.9% SSIMULACRA 2 BD-Rate gains for speed 8
- Up to 2.2% SSIMULACRA 2 BD-Rate gains for speed 9
-
Perceptual Quality Improvements
- RTC: Visual quality improvements for screen content mode.
- RTC: Visual quality improvements for video mode for resolutions >= 720p.
-
Speedups
- Optimize intraBC search for better speed/efficiency tradeoffs for all intra mode speeds >= 1
- Optimize intraBC block hashing process
- RTC Screen: speed feature added to speed 12 for ~2x speedup on slide/scene changes, for resolutions >= 720p.
- ML based speedup improvement on the partition pruning for speed <= 2
-
Other Improvements
- Fixes for RPS (reference picture selection) for RTC: Based on av1_discuss issue: https://groups.google.com/a/aomedia.org/g/av1-discuss/c/sqFad980SsA
