## Function Documentation

## ◆ setup_delta_q()

static void setup_delta_q | ( | AV1_COMP *const | cpi,
|  | ThreadData * | td,
|  | MACROBLOCK *const | x,
|  | const TileInfo *const | tile_info,
|  | int | mi_row,
|  | int | mi_col,
|  | int | num_planes
| ) |  |
| inlinestatic

Assigns different quantization parameters to each super block based on its TPL weight.

Parameters

  [in] | cpi | Top level encoder instance structure
  [in,out] | td | Thread data structure
  [in,out] | x | Macro block level data for this block.
  [in] | tile_info | Tile infromation / identification
  [in] | mi_row | Block row (in "MI_SIZE" units) index
  [in] | mi_col | Block column (in "MI_SIZE" units) index
  [out] | num_planes | Number of image planes (e.g. Y,U,V)

Remarks
  No return value but updates macroblock and thread data related to the q / q delta to be used.

## ◆ av1_tpl_setup_stats()

int av1_tpl_setup_stats | ( | struct AV1_COMP * | cpi,
|  | int | gop_eval,
|  | const struct EncodeFrameParams *const | frame_params
| ) |  |

Implements temporal dependency modelling for a GOP (GF/ARF group) and selects between 16 and 32 frame GOP structure.

Parameters

  [in] | cpi | Top - level encoder instance structure
  [in] | gop_eval | Flag if it is in the GOP length decision stage
  [in] | frame_params | Per frame encoding parameters

Returns
  Indicates whether or not we should use a longer GOP length.
