## Detailed Description

Variables related to current coding block.

This is a common set of variables used by both encoder and decoder. Most/all of the pointers are mere pointers to actual arrays are allocated elsewhere. This is mostly for coding convenience.

## Field Documentation

## mi_row

int macroblockd::mi_row

Row position in mi units.

## mi_stride

int macroblockd::mi_stride

Same as cm->mi_params.mi_stride, copied here for convenience.

## is_chroma_ref

bool macroblockd::is_chroma_ref

True if current block transmits chroma information. More detail: Smallest supported block size for both luma and chroma plane is 4x4. Hence, in case of subsampled chroma plane (YUV 4:2:0 or YUV 4:2:2), multiple luma blocks smaller than 8x8 maybe combined into one chroma block. For example, for YUV 4:2:0, let's say an 8x8 area is split into four 4x4 luma blocks. Then, a single chroma block of size 4x4 will cover the area of these four luma blocks. This is implemented in bitstream as follows:

- There are four MB_MODE_INFO structs for the four luma blocks.
- First 3 MB_MODE_INFO have is_chroma_ref = false, and so do not transmit any information for chroma planes.
- Last block will have is_chroma_ref = true and transmits chroma information for the 4x4 chroma block that covers whole 8x8 area covered by four luma blocks. Similar logic applies for chroma blocks that cover 2 or 3 luma blocks.

Referenced by encode_frame_internal().

## lossless

## current_base_qindex

int macroblockd::current_base_qindex

Q index for the coding blocks in this superblock will be stored in mbmi->current_qindex. Now, when cm->delta_q_info.delta_q_present_flag is true, mbmi->current_qindex is computed by taking 'current_base_qindex' as the base, and adding any transmitted delta qindex on top of it. Precisely, this is the latest qindex used by the first coding block of a non-skip superblock in the current tile; OR same as cm->quant_params.base_qindex (if not explicitly set yet). Note: This is 'CurrentQIndex' in the AV1 spec.

Referenced by encode_b(), encode_sb_row(), and setup_delta_q().

## cur_frame_force_integer_mv

int macroblockd::cur_frame_force_integer_mv

Same as cm->features.cur_frame_force_integer_mv.

Referenced by encode_sb_row().

## error_info

struct aom_internal_error_info* macroblockd::error_info

Referenced by av1_apply_temporal_filter_c(), av1_nonrd_use_partition(), av1_rd_use_partition(), encode_frame_internal(), and encode_rd_sb().

## global_motion

const WarpedMotionParams* macroblockd::global_motion

Same as cm->global_motion.

Referenced by encode_b(), motion_mode_rd(), and prune_zero_mv_with_sse().

## delta_lf_from_base

int8_t macroblockd::delta_lf_from_base

Since actual frame level loop filtering level value is not available at the beginning of the tile (only available during actual filtering) at encoder side.we record the delta_lf (against the frame level loop filtering level) and code the delta between previous superblock's delta lf and current delta lf. It is equivalent to the delta between previous superblock's actual lf and current lf.

Referenced by encode_b().

## delta_lf

int8_t macroblockd::delta_lf[FRAME_LF_COUNT]

We have four frame filter levels for different plane and direction. So, to support the per superblock update, we need to add a few more params:

1. delta loop filter level for y plane vertical
2. delta loop filter level for y plane horizontal
3. delta loop filter level for u plane
4. delta loop filter level for v plane To make it consistent with the reference to each filter level in segment, we need to -1, since

- SEG_LVL_ALT_LF_Y_V = 1;
- SEG_LVL_ALT_LF_Y_H = 2;
- SEG_LVL_ALT_LF_U = 3;
- SEG_LVL_ALT_LF_V = 4;

Referenced by encode_b().

## cdef_transmitted

bool macroblockd::cdef_transmitted[4]

cdef_transmitted[i] is true if CDEF strength for ith CDEF unit in the current superblock has already been read from (decoder) / written to (encoder) the bitstream; and false otherwise. More detail:

1. CDEF strength is transmitted only once per CDEF unit, in the 1st non-skip coding block. So, we need this array to keep track of whether CDEF strengths for the given CDEF units have been transmitted yet or not.
2. Superblock size can be either 128x128 or 64x64, but CDEF unit size is fixed to be 64x64. So, there may be 4 CDEF units within a superblock (if superblock size is 128x128). Hence the array size is 4.
3. In the current implementation, CDEF strength for this CDEF unit is stored in the MB_MODE_INFO of the 1st block in this CDEF unit (inside cm->mi_params.mi_grid_base).

## seg_mask

uint8_t* macroblockd::seg_mask

Mask for this block used for compound prediction.

## cfl

CFL_CTX macroblockd::cfl

CFL (chroma from luma) related parameters.

Referenced by av1_rd_pick_intra_sbuv_mode(), and cfl_rd_pick_alpha().

## color_index_map_offset

uint16_t macroblockd::color_index_map_offset[2]

Offset to plane[p].color_index_map. Currently:

- On encoder side, this is always 0 as 'color_index_map' is allocated per coding block there.
- On decoder side, this may be non-zero, as 'color_index_map' is a (static) memory pointing to the base of a superblock there, and we need an offset to it to get the color index map for current coding block.

## tmp_conv_dst

CONV_BUF_TYPE* macroblockd::tmp_conv_dst

Temporary buffer used for convolution in case of compound reference only for (weighted or uniform) averaging operation. There are pointers to actual buffers allocated elsewhere: e.g.

- In decoder, 'pbi->td.tmp_conv_dst' or 'pbi->thread_data[t].td->xd.tmp_conv_dst' and
- In encoder, 'x->tmp_conv_dst' or 'cpi->tile_thr_data[t].td->mb.tmp_conv_dst'.

## tmp_obmc_bufs

uint8_t* macroblockd::tmp_obmc_bufs[2]

Temporary buffers used to build OBMC prediction by above (index 0) and left (index 1) predictors respectively. tmp_obmc_bufs[i][p * MAX_SB_SQUARE] is the buffer used for plane 'p'. There are pointers to actual buffers allocated elsewhere: e.g.

- In decoder, 'pbi->td.tmp_obmc_bufs' or 'pbi->thread_data[t].td->xd.tmp_conv_dst' and -In encoder, 'x->tmp_pred_bufs' or 'cpi->tile_thr_data[t].td->mb.tmp_pred_bufs'.

Temporary buffer used for upsampled prediction.
