 * \brief A table mapping from time to corresponding film grain parameters.
 *
 * In order to apply grain synthesis in the decoder, the film grain parameters
 * need to be signalled in the encoder. The film grain parameters are time
 * varying, and for two-pass encoding (and denoiser implementation flexibility)
 * it is common to denoise the video and do parameter estimation before encoding
 * the denoised video.
 *
 * The film grain table is used to provide this flexibility and is used as a
 * parameter that is passed to the encoder.
 *
 * Further, if regraining is to be done in say a single pass mode, or in two
 * pass within the encoder (before frames are added to the lookahead buffer),
 * this data structure can be used to keep track of on-the-fly estimated grain
 * parameters, that are then extracted from the table before the encoded frame
 * is written.
