Subject: [PATCH v4] media: v4l2-ctrls: add control for dpcm predictor
From: Lad, Prabhakar <prabhakar.lad@...com>
add V4L2_CID_DPCM_PREDICTOR control of type menu, which
determines the dpcm predictor. The predictor can be either
simple or advanced.

+ <entry spanname="descr"> Differential pulse-code modulation (DPCM) is a signal
+ encoder that uses the baseline of pulse-code modulation (PCM) but adds some
+ functionalities based on the prediction of the samples of the signal. The input
+ can be an analog signal or a digital signal.
+
+ <para>If the input is a continuous-time analog signal, it needs to be sampled
+ first so that a discrete-time signal is the input to the DPCM encoder.</para>
+
+ <para>Simple: take the values of two consecutive samples; if they are analog
+ samples, quantize them; calculate the difference between the first one and the
+ next; the output is the difference, and it can be further entropy coded.</para>
+
+ <para>Advanced: instead of taking a difference relative to a previous input sample,
+ take the difference relative to the output of a local model of the decoder process;
+ in this option, the difference can be quantized, which allows a good way to
+ incorporate a controlled loss in the encoding.</para>
+
+ <para>Applying one of these two processes, short-term redundancy (positive correlation of
+ nearby values) of the signal is eliminated; compression ratios on the order of 2 to 4
+ can be achieved if differences are subsequently entropy coded, because the entropy of
+ the difference signal is much smaller than that of the original discrete signal treated
+ as independent samples.For more information about DPCM see <ulink
+ url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_pulse-code_modulation">Wikipedia</ulink>.</para>
