Add encoding option --static-thresh This option exists in VP8, and it was rewritten in VP9 to support skipping on different partition levels. After prediction is done, we can check if the residuals in the partition block will be all quantized to 0. If this is true, the skip flag is set, and only prediction data are needed in reconstruction. Based on DCT's energy conservation property, the skipping check can be estimated in spatial domain. The prediction error is calculated and compared to a threshold. The threshold is determined by the dequant values, and also adjusted by partition sizes. To be precise, the DC and AC parts for Y, U, and V planes are checked to decide skipping or not. Test showed that 1. derf set: when static-thresh = 1, psnr loss is 0.666%; when static-thresh = 500, psnr loss is 1.162%; 2. stdhd set: when static-thresh = 1, psnr loss is 1.249%; when static-thresh = 500, psnr loss is 1.668%; For different clips, encoding speedup range is between several percentage and 20+% when static-thresh <= 500. For example, clip bitrate static-thresh psnr time akiyo(cif) 500 0 48.923 5.635s(50f) akiyo 500 500 48.863 4.402s(50f) parkjoy(1080p) 4000 0 30.380 77.54s(30f) parkjoy 4000 500 30.384 69.59s(30f) sunflower(1080p) 4000 0 44.461 85.2s(30f) sunflower 4000 500 44.418 78.1s(30f) Higher static-thresh values give larger speedup with larger quality loss.
