UYVYToNV12

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This function has been requested as a new feature.

UYVY and YUY2 are packed I422 formats.  Half width, Full height.
They are common on external usb webcams.

NV12 and NV21 are biplanar I420 formats.  Half width, Half height.  Y channel 
and a packed UV channel.
Common on mobile for textures and cameras for arm based platforms.

Hi, All,

We developed a patch to support UYVY->NV12/NV21, including NEON optimization. 
Please review it. We also uploaded the "before/after", which could help to 
review the patch more easily.

Thanks
Bo Fang

Thinking about what this function/format does...

UYVY is U, Y0, V, Y1 in memory for 2 pixels.  half width, full height
YUY2 is Y0, U, Y1, V in memory for 2 pixels.  half width, full height

NV12 is Y channel and VU channel with half width, half height.
NV21 is Y channel and UV channel with half width, half height.

NV24 is Y channel and VU channel with half width, full height.
NV42 is Y channel and UV channel with half width, full height.

The split function could break this into Y's and UV's, producing NV24 and NV42.
The height needs subsampling to convert NV24 to NV12 and NV42 to NV21.

correction on NV12:
NV12 is Y channel and UV channel with half width, half height.
NV21 is Y channel and VU channel with half width, half height.
NV24 is Y channel and UV channel with half width, full height.
NV42 is Y channel and VU channel with half width, full height.

the process for YUY2ToNV12 or UYVYToNV12 can be done in 2 steps
SplitUVRow UYVY or YUY2 into 2 planes - Y and UV
InterpolateRow to merge 2 rows of UV into one.

YUY2ToNV12 and UYVYToNV12 have been implemented using a 2 step conversion.

SplitUV to break out Y channel from UV.
And InterpolateRow to blend 2 rows of UV.

Advantage of this technique is leveraging existing AVX2 and Neon64.
