AAC encoder: Extensive improvements This finalizes merging of the work in the patches in ticket #2686. Improvements to twoloop and RC logic are extensive. The non-exhaustive list of twoloop improvments includes: - Tweaks to distortion limits on the RD optimization phase of twoloop - Deeper search in twoloop - PNS information marking to let twoloop decide when to use it (turned out having the decision made separately wasn't working) - Tonal band detection and priorization - Better band energy conservation rules - Strict hole avoidance For rate control: - Use psymodel's bit allocation to allow proper use of the bit reservoir. Don't work against the bit reservoir by moving lambda in the opposite direction when psymodel decides to allocate more/less bits to a frame. - Retry the encode if the effective rate lies outside a reasonable margin of psymodel's allocation or the selected ABR. - Log average lambda at the end. Useful info for everyone, but especially for tuning of the various encoder constants that relate to lambda feedback. Psy: - Do not apply lowpass with a FIR filter, instead just let the coder zero bands above the cutoff. The FIR filter induces group delay, and while zeroing bands causes ripple, it's lost in the quantization noise. - Experimental VBR bit allocation code - Tweak automatic lowpass filter threshold to maximize audio bandwidth at all bitrates while still providing acceptable, stable quality. I/S: - Phase decision fixes. Unrelated to #2686, but the bugs only surfaced when the merge was finalized. Measure I/S band energy accounting for phase, and prevent I/S and M/S from being applied both. PNS: - Avoid marking short bands with PNS when they're part of a window group in which there's a large variation of energy from one window to the next. PNS can't preserve those and the effect is extremely noticeable. M/S: - Implement BMLD protection similar to the specified in ISO-IEC/13818:7-2003, Appendix C Section 6.1. Since M/S decision doesn't conform to section 6.1, a different method had to be implemented, but should provide equivalent protection. - Move the decision logic closer to the method specified in ISO-IEC/13818:7-2003, Appendix C Section 6.1. Specifically, make sure M/S needs less bits than dual stereo. - Don't apply M/S in bands that are using I/S Now, this of course needed adjustments in the compare targets and fuzz factors of the AAC encoder's fate tests, but if wondering why the targets go up (more distortion), consider the previous coder was using too many bits on LF content (far more than required by psy), and thus those signals will now be more distorted, not less. The extra distortion isn't audible though, I carried extensive ABX testing to make sure. A very similar patch was also extensively tested by Kamendo2 in the context of #2686.

aaccoder: Implement Perceptual Noise Substitution for AAC This commit implements the perceptual noise substitution AAC extension. This is a proof of concept implementation, and as such, is not enabled by default. This is the fourth revision of this patch, made after some problems were noted out. Any changes made since the previous revisions have been indicated. In order to extend the encoder to use an additional codebook, the array holding each codebook has been modified with two additional entries - 13 for the NOISE_BT codebook and 12 which has a placeholder function. The cost system was modified to skip the 12th entry using an array to map the input and outputs it has. It also does not accept using the 13th codebook for any band which is not marked as containing noise, thereby restricting its ability to arbitrarily choose it for bands. The use of arrays allows the system to be easily extended to allow for intensity stereo encoding, which uses additional codebooks. The 12th entry in the codebook function array points to a function which stops the execution of the program by calling an assert with an always 'false' argument. It was pointed out in an email discussion with Claudio Freire that having a 'NULL' entry can result in unexpected behaviour and could be used as a security hole. There is no danger of this function being called during encoding due to the codebook maps introduced. Another change from version 1 of the patch is the addition of an argument to the encoder, '-aac_pns' to enable and disable the PNS. This currently defaults to disable the PNS, as it is experimental. The switch will be removed in the future, when the algorithm to select noise bands has been improved. The current algorithm simply compares the energy to the threshold (multiplied by a constant) to determine noise, however the FFPsyBand structure contains other useful figures to determine which bands carry noise more accurately. Some of the sample files provided triggered an assertion when the parameter to tune the threshold was set to a value of '2.2'. Claudio Freire reported the problem's source could be in the range of the scalefactor indices for noise and advised to measure the minimal index and clip anything above the maximum allowed value. This has been implemented and all the files which used to trigger the asserion now encode without error. The third revision of the problem also removes unneded variabes and comparisons. All of them were redundant and were of little use for when the PNS implementation would be extended. The fourth revision moved the clipping of the noise scalefactors outside the second loop of the two-loop algorithm in order to prevent their redundant calculations. Also, freq_mult has been changed to a float variable due to the fact that rounding errors can prove to be a problem at low frequencies. Considerations were taken whether the entire expression could be evaluated inside the expression , but in the end it was decided that it would be for the best if just the type of the variable were to change. Claudio Freire reported the two problems. There is no change of functionality (except for low sampling frequencies) so the spectral demonstrations at the end of this commit's message were not updated. Finally, the way energy values are converted to scalefactor indices has changed since the first commit, as per the suggestion of Claudio Freire. This may still have some drawbacks, but unlike the first commit it works without having redundant offsets and outputs what the decoder expects to have, in terms of the ranges of the scalefactor indices.

aaccoder: Implement Perceptual Noise Substitution for AAC This commit implements the perceptual noise substitution AAC extension. This is a proof of concept implementation, and as such, is not enabled by default. This is the fourth revision of this patch, made after some problems were noted out. Any changes made since the previous revisions have been indicated. In order to extend the encoder to use an additional codebook, the array holding each codebook has been modified with two additional entries - 13 for the NOISE_BT codebook and 12 which has a placeholder function. The cost system was modified to skip the 12th entry using an array to map the input and outputs it has. It also does not accept using the 13th codebook for any band which is not marked as containing noise, thereby restricting its ability to arbitrarily choose it for bands. The use of arrays allows the system to be easily extended to allow for intensity stereo encoding, which uses additional codebooks. The 12th entry in the codebook function array points to a function which stops the execution of the program by calling an assert with an always 'false' argument. It was pointed out in an email discussion with Claudio Freire that having a 'NULL' entry can result in unexpected behaviour and could be used as a security hole. There is no danger of this function being called during encoding due to the codebook maps introduced. Another change from version 1 of the patch is the addition of an argument to the encoder, '-aac_pns' to enable and disable the PNS. This currently defaults to disable the PNS, as it is experimental. The switch will be removed in the future, when the algorithm to select noise bands has been improved. The current algorithm simply compares the energy to the threshold (multiplied by a constant) to determine noise, however the FFPsyBand structure contains other useful figures to determine which bands carry noise more accurately. Some of the sample files provided triggered an assertion when the parameter to tune the threshold was set to a value of '2.2'. Claudio Freire reported the problem's source could be in the range of the scalefactor indices for noise and advised to measure the minimal index and clip anything above the maximum allowed value. This has been implemented and all the files which used to trigger the asserion now encode without error. The third revision of the problem also removes unneded variabes and comparisons. All of them were redundant and were of little use for when the PNS implementation would be extended. The fourth revision moved the clipping of the noise scalefactors outside the second loop of the two-loop algorithm in order to prevent their redundant calculations. Also, freq_mult has been changed to a float variable due to the fact that rounding errors can prove to be a problem at low frequencies. Considerations were taken whether the entire expression could be evaluated inside the expression , but in the end it was decided that it would be for the best if just the type of the variable were to change. Claudio Freire reported the two problems. There is no change of functionality (except for low sampling frequencies) so the spectral demonstrations at the end of this commit's message were not updated. Finally, the way energy values are converted to scalefactor indices has changed since the first commit, as per the suggestion of Claudio Freire. This may still have some drawbacks, but unlike the first commit it works without having redundant offsets and outputs what the decoder expects to have, in terms of the ranges of the scalefactor indices.

AAC encoder: Extensive improvements This finalizes merging of the work in the patches in ticket #2686. Improvements to twoloop and RC logic are extensive. The non-exhaustive list of twoloop improvments includes: - Tweaks to distortion limits on the RD optimization phase of twoloop - Deeper search in twoloop - PNS information marking to let twoloop decide when to use it (turned out having the decision made separately wasn't working) - Tonal band detection and priorization - Better band energy conservation rules - Strict hole avoidance For rate control: - Use psymodel's bit allocation to allow proper use of the bit reservoir. Don't work against the bit reservoir by moving lambda in the opposite direction when psymodel decides to allocate more/less bits to a frame. - Retry the encode if the effective rate lies outside a reasonable margin of psymodel's allocation or the selected ABR. - Log average lambda at the end. Useful info for everyone, but especially for tuning of the various encoder constants that relate to lambda feedback. Psy: - Do not apply lowpass with a FIR filter, instead just let the coder zero bands above the cutoff. The FIR filter induces group delay, and while zeroing bands causes ripple, it's lost in the quantization noise. - Experimental VBR bit allocation code - Tweak automatic lowpass filter threshold to maximize audio bandwidth at all bitrates while still providing acceptable, stable quality. I/S: - Phase decision fixes. Unrelated to #2686, but the bugs only surfaced when the merge was finalized. Measure I/S band energy accounting for phase, and prevent I/S and M/S from being applied both. PNS: - Avoid marking short bands with PNS when they're part of a window group in which there's a large variation of energy from one window to the next. PNS can't preserve those and the effect is extremely noticeable. M/S: - Implement BMLD protection similar to the specified in ISO-IEC/13818:7-2003, Appendix C Section 6.1. Since M/S decision doesn't conform to section 6.1, a different method had to be implemented, but should provide equivalent protection. - Move the decision logic closer to the method specified in ISO-IEC/13818:7-2003, Appendix C Section 6.1. Specifically, make sure M/S needs less bits than dual stereo. - Don't apply M/S in bands that are using I/S Now, this of course needed adjustments in the compare targets and fuzz factors of the AAC encoder's fate tests, but if wondering why the targets go up (more distortion), consider the previous coder was using too many bits on LF content (far more than required by psy), and thus those signals will now be more distorted, not less. The extra distortion isn't audible though, I carried extensive ABX testing to make sure. A very similar patch was also extensively tested by Kamendo2 in the context of #2686.

AAC encoder: Extensive improvements This finalizes merging of the work in the patches in ticket #2686. Improvements to twoloop and RC logic are extensive. The non-exhaustive list of twoloop improvments includes: - Tweaks to distortion limits on the RD optimization phase of twoloop - Deeper search in twoloop - PNS information marking to let twoloop decide when to use it (turned out having the decision made separately wasn't working) - Tonal band detection and priorization - Better band energy conservation rules - Strict hole avoidance For rate control: - Use psymodel's bit allocation to allow proper use of the bit reservoir. Don't work against the bit reservoir by moving lambda in the opposite direction when psymodel decides to allocate more/less bits to a frame. - Retry the encode if the effective rate lies outside a reasonable margin of psymodel's allocation or the selected ABR. - Log average lambda at the end. Useful info for everyone, but especially for tuning of the various encoder constants that relate to lambda feedback. Psy: - Do not apply lowpass with a FIR filter, instead just let the coder zero bands above the cutoff. The FIR filter induces group delay, and while zeroing bands causes ripple, it's lost in the quantization noise. - Experimental VBR bit allocation code - Tweak automatic lowpass filter threshold to maximize audio bandwidth at all bitrates while still providing acceptable, stable quality. I/S: - Phase decision fixes. Unrelated to #2686, but the bugs only surfaced when the merge was finalized. Measure I/S band energy accounting for phase, and prevent I/S and M/S from being applied both. PNS: - Avoid marking short bands with PNS when they're part of a window group in which there's a large variation of energy from one window to the next. PNS can't preserve those and the effect is extremely noticeable. M/S: - Implement BMLD protection similar to the specified in ISO-IEC/13818:7-2003, Appendix C Section 6.1. Since M/S decision doesn't conform to section 6.1, a different method had to be implemented, but should provide equivalent protection. - Move the decision logic closer to the method specified in ISO-IEC/13818:7-2003, Appendix C Section 6.1. Specifically, make sure M/S needs less bits than dual stereo. - Don't apply M/S in bands that are using I/S Now, this of course needed adjustments in the compare targets and fuzz factors of the AAC encoder's fate tests, but if wondering why the targets go up (more distortion), consider the previous coder was using too many bits on LF content (far more than required by psy), and thus those signals will now be more distorted, not less. The extra distortion isn't audible though, I carried extensive ABX testing to make sure. A very similar patch was also extensively tested by Kamendo2 in the context of #2686.

AAC encoder: Extensive improvements This finalizes merging of the work in the patches in ticket #2686. Improvements to twoloop and RC logic are extensive. The non-exhaustive list of twoloop improvments includes: - Tweaks to distortion limits on the RD optimization phase of twoloop - Deeper search in twoloop - PNS information marking to let twoloop decide when to use it (turned out having the decision made separately wasn't working) - Tonal band detection and priorization - Better band energy conservation rules - Strict hole avoidance For rate control: - Use psymodel's bit allocation to allow proper use of the bit reservoir. Don't work against the bit reservoir by moving lambda in the opposite direction when psymodel decides to allocate more/less bits to a frame. - Retry the encode if the effective rate lies outside a reasonable margin of psymodel's allocation or the selected ABR. - Log average lambda at the end.

PNS can't preserve those and the effect is extremely noticeable. M/S: - Implement BMLD protection similar to the specified in ISO-IEC/13818:7-2003, Appendix C Section 6.1. Since M/S decision doesn't conform to section 6.1, a different method had to be implemented, but should provide equivalent protection. - Move the decision logic closer to the method specified in ISO-IEC/13818:7-2003, Appendix C Section 6.1. Specifically, make sure M/S needs less bits than dual stereo. - Don't apply M/S in bands that are using I/S Now, this of course needed adjustments in the compare targets and fuzz factors of the AAC encoder's fate tests, but if wondering why the targets go up (more distortion), consider the previous coder was using too many bits on LF content (far more than required by psy), and thus those signals will now be more distorted, not less. The extra distortion isn't audible though, I carried extensive ABX testing to make sure. A very similar patch was also extensively tested by Kamendo2 in the context of #2686.

AAC encoder: Extensive improvements This finalizes merging of the work in the patches in ticket #2686. Improvements to twoloop and RC logic are extensive. The non-exhaustive list of twoloop improvments includes: - Tweaks to distortion limits on the RD optimization phase of twoloop - Deeper search in twoloop - PNS information marking to let twoloop decide when to use it (turned out having the decision made separately wasn't working) - Tonal band detection and priorization - Better band energy conservation rules - Strict hole avoidance For rate control: - Use psymodel's bit allocation to allow proper use of the bit reservoir. Don't work against the bit reservoir by moving lambda in the opposite direction when psymodel decides to allocate more/less bits to a frame. - Retry the encode if the effective rate lies outside a reasonable margin of psymodel's allocation or the selected ABR. - Log average lambda at the end. Useful info for everyone, but especially for tuning of the various encoder constants that relate to lambda feedback. Psy: - Do not apply lowpass with a FIR filter, instead just let the coder zero bands above the cutoff. The FIR filter induces group delay, and while zeroing bands causes ripple, it's lost in the quantization noise. - Experimental VBR bit allocation code - Tweak automatic lowpass filter threshold to maximize audio bandwidth at all bitrates while still providing acceptable, stable quality. I/S: - Phase decision fixes. Unrelated to #2686, but the bugs only surfaced when the merge was finalized. Measure I/S band energy accounting for phase, and prevent I/S and M/S from being applied both. PNS: - Avoid marking short bands with PNS when they're part of a window group in which there's a large variation of energy from one window to the next.

aacenc_tns: rework the way coefficients are calculated This commit abandons the way the specifications state to quantize the coefficients, makes use of the new LPC float functions and is much better. The original way of converting non-normalized float samples to int32_t which out LPC system expects was wrong and it was wrong to assume the coefficients that are generated are also valid. It was essentially a full garbage-in, garbage-out system and it definitely shows when looking at spectrals and listening. The high frequencies were very overattenuated. The new LPC function performs the analysis directly. The specifications state to quantize the coefficients into four bit index values using an asin() function which of course had to have ugly ternary operators because the function turns negative if the coefficients are negative which when encoding causes invalid bitstream to get generated. This deviates from this by using the direct TNS tables, which are fairly small since you only have 4 bits at most for index values. The LPC values are directly quantized against the tables and are then used to perform filtering after the requantization, which simply fetches the array values. The end result is that TNS works much better now and doesn't attenuate anything but the actual signal, e.g. TNS removes quantization errors and does it's job correctly now. It might be enabled by default soon since it doesn't hurt and helps reduce nastyness at low bitrates. Signed-off-by: Rostislav Pehlivanov <atomnuker@gmail.com>
