 * \arg \c LPF_PICK_FROM_FULL_IMAGE_NON_DUAL: Try the full image filter search

 * \b Overview
 * \par
 * The workflow of deblock filter is shown in Fig.1. \n
 * Boundary pixels pass through a non-flatness check, followed by a step that
 * determines smoothness and selects proper types of filters
 * (4-, 6-, 8-, 14-tap filter). \n
 * If non-flatness criteria is not satisfied, the encoder will not apply
 * deblock filtering on these boundary pixels.
 * \image html filter_flow.png "Fig.1. The workflow of deblock filter" width=70%
 *
 * \par
 * The non-flatness is determined by the boundary pixels and thresholds as shown
 * in Fig.2. \n
 * Filtering is applied when \n
 * \f$|p_0-p_1|<thr_1\f$   and   \f$|q_0-q_1|<thr_1\f$   and
 * \f$2*|p_0-q_0|+|p_1-q_1|/2<thr_2\f$ \n
 * \image html filter_thr.png "Fig.2. Non-flatness of pixel boundary" height=40%
 *
 * \par
 * Thresholds ("thr_1" and "thr_2") are determined by the filter level. \n
 * In AV1, for each frame, we employ the four filter levels, based on these
 * observations: \n
 * Luma and chroma planes have different characteristics, including subsampling
 * (different plane size), coding quality (chroma planes are better coded). \n
 * Therefore chroma planes need less deblocking filtering than luma plane. \n
 * In addition, content texture has different spatial characteristics: vertical
 * and horizontal direction may need different level of filtering. \n
 * The selection of these filter levels is described in the following section.
 *
 * \par
 * \b Algorithm
 * \par
 * The encoder selects filter levels given the current frame buffer, and the
 * method. \n
 * By default, "LPF_PICK_FROM_FULL_IMAGE" is used, which should provide
 * the most appropriate filter levels. \n
 * For video on demand (VOD) mode, if speed setting is larger than 5,
 * "LPF_PICK_FROM_FULL_IMAGE_NON_DUAL" is used. \n
 * For real-time mode, if speed setting is larger than 5, "LPF_PICK_FROM_Q" is
 * used.
 *
 * \par
 * "LPF_PICK_FROM_FULL_IMAGE" method: determine filter levels sequentially
 * by a filter level search procedure (function "search_filter_level"). \n
 * The order is: \n
 * First search and determine the filter level for Y plane.
 * Let vertical filter level (filter_level[0]) and the horizontal filter level
 * (filter_level[1]) be equal to it. \n
 * Keep the horizontal filter level the same and search and determine the
 * vertical filter level. \n
 * Search and determine the horizontal filter level. \n
 * Search and determine filter level for U plane. \n
 * Search and determine filter level for V plane.
 *
 * \par
 * Search and determine filter level is fulfilled by function
 * "search_filter_level". \n
 * It starts with a base filter level ("filt_mid") initialized by the
 * corresponding last frame's filter level. \n
 * A filter step ("filter_step") is determined as:
 * filter_step = filt_mid < 16 ? 4 : filt_mid / 4. \n
 * Then a modified binary search strategy is employed to find a proper
 * filter level. \n
 * In each iteration, set filt_low = filt_mid - filter_step,
 * filt_high = filt_mid + filter_step. \n
 * We now have three candidate levels, "filt_mid", "filt_low" and "filt_high".
 * \n
 * Deblock filtering is applied on the current frame with candidate filter
 * levels and the sum of squared error (SSE) between source and filtered frame
 * is computed. \n
 * Set "filt_best" to the filter level of the smallest SSE. If "filter_best"
 * equals to "filt_mid", halve the filter_step. Otherwise, set filt_mid =
 * filt_best. \n
 * Go to the next iteration until "filter_step" is 0. \n
 * Note that in the comparison of SSEs between SSE[filt_low] and SSE[filt_mid],
 * a "bias" is introduced to slightly raise the filter level. \n
 * It is based on the observation that low filter levels tend to yield a smaller
 * SSE and produce a higher PSNR for the current frame, \n
 * while oversmoothing it and degradating the quality for prediction for future
 * frames and leanding to a suboptimal performance overall. \n
 * Function "try_filter_frame" is the referrence for applying deblock filtering
 * with a given filter level and computatition of SSE.
 *
 * \par
 * "LPF_PICK_FROM_FULL_IMAGE_NON_DUAL" method: almost the same as
 * "LPF_PICK_FROM_FULL_IMAGE", \n
 * just without separately searching for appropriate filter levels for vertical
 * and horizontal filters.
 *
 * \par
 * "LPF_PICK_FROM_Q" method: filter levels are determined by the
 * quantization factor (q). \n
 * For 8 bit: \n
 *   Keyframes: filt_guess = q * 0.06699 - 1.60817 \n
 *   Other frames: filt_guess = q * inter_frame_multiplier + 2.48225 \n
 *   inter_frame_multiplier = q > 700 ? 0.04590 : 0.02295 \n
 * For 10 bit and 12 bit: \n
 * filt_guess = q * 0.316206 + 3.87252 \n
 * Then filter_level[0] = filter_level[1] = filter_level_u = filter_level_v =
 * clamp(filt_guess, min_filter_level, max_filter_level) \n
 * Where min_filter_level = 0, max_filter_level = 64 \n
 * The equations were determined by linear fitting using filter levels
 * generated by "LPF_PICK_FROM_FULL_IMAGE" method.
