Detailed Description

VP8 is vpx's newest video compression algorithm that uses motion compensated prediction, Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coding of the prediction error signal and context dependent entropy coding techniques based on arithmetic principles. It features:

• YUV 4:2:0 image format
• Macro-block based coding (16x16 luma plus two 8x8 chroma)
• 1/4 (1/8) pixel accuracy motion compensated prediction
• 4x4 DCT transform
• 128 level linear quantizer
• In loop deblocking filter
• Context-based entropy coding

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct vp8_postproc_cfg vp8_postproc_cfg_t

post process flags

This define a structure that describe the post processing settings. For the best objective measure (using the PSNR metric) set post_proc_flag to VP8_DEBLOCK and deblocking_level to 1.

typedef enum vpx_ref_frame_type vpx_ref_frame_type_t

reference frame type

The set of macros define the type of VP8 reference frames

typedef struct vpx_ref_frame vpx_ref_frame_t

reference frame data struct

Define the data struct to access vp8 reference frames.

typedef struct vp9_ref_frame vp9_ref_frame_t

VP9 specific reference frame data struct.

Define the data struct to access vp9 reference frames.
