Integral projection based motion estimation This commit introduces a new block match motion estimation using integral projection measurement. The 2-D block and the nearby region is projected onto the horizontal and vertical 1-D vectors, respectively. It then runs vector match, instead of block match, over the two separate 1-D vectors to locate the motion compensated reference block. This process is run per 64x64 block to align the reference before choosing partitioning in speed 6. The overall CPU cycle cost due to this additional 64x64 block match (SSE2 version) takes around 2% at low bit-rate rtc speed 6. When strong motion activities exist in the video sequence, it substantially improves the partition selection accuracy, thereby achieving better compression performance and lower CPU cycles. The experiments were tested in RTC speed -6 setting: cloud 1080p 500 kbps 17006 b/f, 37.086 dB, 5386 ms -> 16669 b/f, 37.970 dB, 5085 ms (>0.9dB gain and 6% faster) pedestrian_area 1080p 500 kbps 53537 b/f, 36.771 dB, 18706 ms -> 51897 b/f, 36.792 dB, 18585 ms (4% bit-rate savings) blue_sky 1080p 500 kbps 70214 b/f, 33.600 dB, 13979 ms -> 53885 b/f, 33.645 dB, 10878 ms (30% bit-rate savings, 25% faster) jimred 400 kbps 13380 b/f, 36.014 dB, 5723 ms -> 13377 b/f, 36.087 dB, 5831 ms (2% bit-rate savings, 2% slower) Change-Id: Iffdb6ea5b16b77016bfa3dd3904d284168ae649c
