ImageSharp/tests/Images/Input/Heif/Av1/Conformance

AV1 reconstruction conformance fixtures

These fixtures provide independent reference output for AV1 reconstruction and AVIF presentation tests. ImageSharp output is compared exactly with the retained native YUV planes and presented PNG files; the tests do not use a tolerance. Native fixtures remain beside their inputs here, while the PNG files use the repository reference-output naming contract under tests/Images/External/ReferenceOutput/Av1ReconstructionConformanceTests.

Provenance

The source images and original AVIF files come from libavif/tests/data at commit 062e582e8afda88e6baf988fdcf046a801efa0f5. Their licenses are recorded in libavif's tests/data/README.md and continue to apply to the derived fixtures. This includes the unrestricted Kodak image, the CC BY 3.0 Cosmos Laundromat frame, and files distributed under libavif's BSD-2-Clause license.

Reference files were generated with scalar builds of:

• libaom commit 03087864cf4bea6abb0d28f95cf7843511413d8f;
• libavif 1.4.2 from commit 062e582e8afda88e6baf988fdcf046a801efa0f5, linked to that libaom build.

The reference builds use AOM_TARGET_CPU=generic and disable libyuv. Native reconstruction therefore comes from libaom, and AVIF presentation comes from libavif's own conversion path, without architecture-specific SIMD or ImageSharp code.

File conventions

• .avif files exercise the complete container and presentation path.
• .bit files contain the exact AV1 elementary-stream payload used by reconstruction tests.
• -libaom.yuv files contain headerless planar Y, U, and V reference samples. Samples above eight bits are stored as little-endian 16-bit values.
• -libaom-y4m.yuv files retain the Y4M header together with the native planar frame.
• -libaom.y4m files retain the Y4M header together with the native sequence frames selected for comparison.
• Reference-output .png files contain the eight-bit RGBA presentation produced by the pinned scalar libavif build. Their names combine the public test method, Rgba32, and the input AVIF basename so CompareToReferenceOutput resolves them directly.

Official ten-bit sequence fixtures

The libaom-av1-1-b10-23-film-grain-50.ivf and libaom-av1-1-b10-24-monochrome.ivf streams are the official files from libaom's test-data bucket. Their SHA-1 values are 2F883C7E11C21A31F79BD9C809541BE90B0C7C4A and 03A8D002594CCC51932332002BB6F9837EF46D0F, exactly matching test/test-data.sha1 at pinned libaom commit 03087864cf4bea6abb0d28f95cf7843511413d8f. Their SHA-256 values are C36CF5AB6A2E9E27C212C06863759B60791E3FA681A0800B5D57FD4192EF29CB and 6A1B0729305A167F10737A5375F0570139F055BCD7916DF260B653AB2210ADC1.

The retained native references were generated from the pinned generic libaom build with:

aomdec --threads=1 --output=libaom-av1-1-b10-23-film-grain-50-libaom.y4m libaom-av1-1-b10-23-film-grain-50.ivf
aomdec --threads=1 --output=libaom-av1-1-b10-24-monochrome-libaom.y4m libaom-av1-1-b10-24-monochrome.ivf

The film-grain Y4M SHA-256 is A1B553BE140F48ABDDB2A6D39917AB714BA03AC7FFD6359EAA1CB0D89C985A3B, and the monochrome Y4M SHA-256 is 7394BC8146485D200BFDEC62E170482F8B1A85A64D21FAC62D10116FB1BB140D. The tests decode and compare all ten frames from each sequence exactly under normal and scalar dispatch. The film-grain stream retains dependent ungrained references while applying ten-bit grain to each displayed 352x288 YUV420 frame; the monochrome stream verifies every 320x180 ten-bit luma sample without manufacturing chroma in ImageSharp. Both sequences also run through a constrained tracked allocator.

Official quantizer-boundary fixtures

The retained quantizer-00 and quantizer-63 streams are the minimum- and maximum-quantizer boundaries from libaom's official eight- and ten-bit test matrices. Their SHA-1 values are C2E1EC9936B95254187A359E94AA32A9F3DAD1B7, 2A8AA33513D8E01AE9410C4BF5FE1E471B775482, 9BBE8499796AA588FF02E313FB0D4349940D2FEA, and 8B6EB3FFF2E0DB7EAC775B08C745250CA591E2D9, exactly matching test/test-data.sha1 at pinned libaom commit 03087864cf4bea6abb0d28f95cf7843511413d8f. Their SHA-256 values, in the same order, are 6382DBD2BEFBBC93D4EA283586F4FB43FEA5F1C52400E3D2C5281A46B1104C00, 0E4EC80680F7AF8DE9621B016E0F2D7C0858B2951DEBC173DDA50C6A051547D3, FE6053CE4EE20A1C0EC6F7FE35DB097E92AD25D8A3505598BD89162C74D7944F, and 39759AB77483E1D11049DC38B5F5262158FD9C3CBC9D1F82A02462FC5DF30E0C.

The native references were generated with the pinned generic aomdec --threads=1 build. Their SHA-256 values are D499028E0606DB70CD56A72F151E04F36C09F300A448CCCD8430DD920D3589C5, 4CC9892B3EE3399B293E31014B9F566C21E0C7A4765FC5F444528769C33E6D67, 78373C28F401EB95D3E563D146622ED6C714ED96661E5E57C539CE71D7BED599, and A9DF86F671B8CF01EFC130660556412D4EBAF31A81D6F26FBDAEB0A7E839D8EA. Each reference's two raw-frame MD5 values also match the corresponding official .ivf.md5 file exactly. The tests compare every native sample under normal and scalar FeatureTestRunner dispatch and run all four sequences through a 2,560-byte row-aligned constrained tracked allocator.

Official frame-size corner fixtures

The retained 196x196, 196x226, 226x196, and 226x226 streams are the four corners of libaom's official eight-bit frame-size matrix. Their SHA-1 values are 9F386D19C87DBFD6AC84A06D2393DD88863AC003, 5525F7E312EC073F480ED5A2BE5BDC4F0CE51A09, 1A57B913443B267F4A31A6925C39F5B58022F550, and 40DD208EB525CD90D7C0674CF787097FB909AFAE, exactly matching test/test-data.sha1 at pinned libaom commit 03087864cf4bea6abb0d28f95cf7843511413d8f. Their SHA-256 values, in the same order, are ECACF9C2065EEC1A02248395412BE5E03ED7E3FEDFD6653622E09E73D1CAC747, 2A2ECDDE60546FA8280039228B4BE541825EFAEE30F53EE50B91B11F2952BDA7, 999522FBF3FCD9F8CC8DAC865BEF874B7BF655A4DAD93C397F50A7A1EC2C9027, and B5D9A30F24E33F8FA6A655961645650542DC2545FB7D557E2D55A043DAC69F50.

The native references were generated with the pinned generic aomdec --threads=1 build. Their SHA-256 values are 4479030861DD9D6AB9B00FA8CF77A34712BCECA06C31131927D3E7E9BF5DDA70, 817FF76E70946763C000E19FCCD9F0258CF9358201B6771AA68FB8C84490D26F, F4A70BA358E8B4ED558B589BFE56354C9552469FDABD01B3F4D5754334B0CBD9, and 44FC32FB1D24CE4A33830B67D927F038E0E1379C6B480C598F018382EC78E9CE. Each reference's two raw-frame MD5 values also match the corresponding official .ivf.md5 file exactly. The tests compare every native sample under normal and scalar FeatureTestRunner dispatch and run all four sequences through a 1 KiB constrained tracked allocator.

Progressive dependent-frame fixture

The libavif-progressive-draw-points-8b.avif fixture is the unmodified tests/data/draw_points_idat_progressive.avif file from the pinned libavif tree. Its SHA-256 is 077AB2AD1E46DD912A973E4F024CB1EB242A08298BE2DBF1A52A058E88C48A4A. It was generated with:

./avifenc -q 100 --progressive ../tests/data/draw_points.png ../tests/data/draw_points_idat_progressive.avif

The primary color item's a1lx property divides its logical 72-byte AV1 payload into a 55-byte base layer and a 17-byte dependent layer. The container stores those layers in separate iloc extents at AVIF offsets 511 and 583. The .bit fixture concatenates those two logical color extents; it does not copy the physically adjacent auxiliary-alpha extent between them.

Exact pinned libaom decodes the corrected logical payload into two 33x11 YUV444 frames. Both frames' 1,089 color samples match the corresponding first three planes of the pinned libavif YUV444-alpha outputs exactly. The retained Y4M contains both progressive YUV444-alpha frames, and the PNG contains pinned libavif's final RGBA presentation. The production-path test selects the second native frame, requires inter-coded blocks in the final ImageSharp frame, and compares both native color and final presentation without a tolerance.

Equal-average compound fixture

The libavif-webp-logo-average-compound.avif file is retained solely as interoperability input. It was created from tests/data/webp_logo_animated.y4m with the following command; libavif is not used as an AV1 implementation or reconstruction reference:

./avifenc -j 1 -c aom -s 4 -q 80 -a enable-dist-wtd-comp=0 -a enable-masked-comp=0 -a enable-interintra-comp=0 -a enable-obmc=0 -a enable-warped-motion=0 -a enable-global-motion=0 tests/data/webp_logo_animated.y4m libavif-webp-logo-average-compound.avif

On 2026-08-31 the clean official libaom main checkout was refreshed from its upstream remote. At the observed revision 441c439b9916474cac15d2822af47a9ad70674a8, current aomdec decoded the 5,465-byte mdat payload at file offset 1,065 as 19 shown 80x80 YUV444 frames:

aomdec --codec=av1 --threads=1 --row-mt=0 --output-bit-depth=8 -o compound-current-main.y4m compound-current-main.obu

All 19 frames decoded successfully. The final frame's 19,200 native samples have SHA-256 E79D2F49C260B1AC9B1B9BBBB2D611126AFD3B241DA389EB9E7BD4EA0ED42080 and match the stored Y4M's Y, U, and V samples exactly with zero differences. The observed revision records the source used for this verification; it does not pin the libaom checkout.

The production test decodes every preceding sample to establish the retained-reference state, requires actual equal-average compound blocks, and compares the final native planes exactly. It then compares the final RGBA output through ImageSharp's established reference-output API. The PNG is presentation evidence only and is not used to establish AV1 reconstruction arithmetic.

Selectable compound and inter-intra fixtures

The four selectable-compound fixtures use the same pinned tests/data/webp_logo_animated.y4m source and its 0872208D9C19B68B10A1647FA6849CFC4E2B21A19561ACD672E0629C70EFACA2 SHA-256. They were encoded at speed zero after disabling later inter-mode checkpoints. Each command also disables competing prediction tools that would prevent the resulting stream from isolating its named mode:

./avifenc -j 1 -c aom -s 0 -q 80 -a enable-obmc=0 -a enable-warped-motion=0 -a enable-global-motion=0 -a enable-masked-comp=0 -a enable-interintra-comp=0 tests/data/webp_logo_animated.y4m libavif-webp-logo-distance-weighted-compound.avif

Pinned scalar libavif generated each final native and presentation reference with:

Pinned libaom block tracing confirms that these streams select distance weighting, both wedge signs, both difference-mask types, and both smooth and wedge inter-intra prediction. The production test independently requires those decoded mode states, decodes all preceding samples, compares the final native Y, U, and V planes exactly, compares the final RGBA presentation exactly, and repeats reconstruction with constrained tracked allocation.

Overlapping motion-compensation fixture

The libavif-webp-logo-obmc.avif fixture uses the same pinned tests/data/webp_logo_animated.y4m source and source SHA-256 as the compound fixtures. It was encoded with the pinned scalar toolchain after disabling competing compound, inter-intra, warped, and global prediction modes:

./avifenc -j 1 -c aom -s 0 -q 80 -a max-reference-frames=3 -a enable-dist-wtd-comp=0 -a enable-masked-comp=0 -a enable-interintra-comp=0 -a enable-warped-motion=0 -a enable-global-motion=0 tests/data/webp_logo_animated.y4m libavif-webp-logo-obmc.avif

Pinned scalar libavif generated the final native and presentation references with:

./avifdec -j 1 -c aom --index 18 libavif-webp-logo-obmc.avif libavif-webp-logo-obmc-libaom.y4m
./avifdec -j 1 -c aom --index 18 libavif-webp-logo-obmc.avif libavif-webp-logo-obmc-libavif.png

The AVIF SHA-256 is 765245F71BD398F7AD87BD83FD5C5C11172981B37A4FABF4F10F65D4E8AEA537. The retained frame-18 Y4M SHA-256 is 904D1B5B3E7F334CE8D44040F9A7BDCAC1F7773122FF1C5F06A5B4DD31A62A97, and the frame-18 PNG SHA-256 is D2CB388C9092EF17C4F0382C0150DD30D6F9D0EE247FF45AB5D7D4D312CEB23C. Pinned libaom block tracing records more than one hundred actual OBMC blocks across the decoded sequence, including blocks with nonzero horizontal and vertical motion vectors. The production test requires decoded OBMC mode state, decodes every retained-reference dependency, compares the final native Y, U, and V planes exactly, compares the final RGBA presentation exactly through FeatureTestRunner, and repeats reconstruction with constrained tracked allocation. Direct production-branch tests separately cover 8/10/12-bit storage and 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 overlap geometry.

Local warped-motion fixture

The libavif-rotating-grid-local-warp.avif fixture was encoded from a deterministic two-frame 256x256 limited-range YUV444 source. The source combines checkerboard, ring, and chroma-gradient detail; its second frame rotates the first by 2.5 degrees with nearest-neighbor sampling and edge clamping. The two-frame source Y4M SHA-256 is 82C1468C95C996B05165590417184F59373D67896F8C7B0EB398582C29C9C7A7. Pinned scalar libavif and libaom generated the fixture and references with:

The retained frame-1 Y4M SHA-256 is 984B2815CEE0C05FDE26430F150A21B5C993141E25BA1ED4FDE09372DB64AC13, and the frame-1 PNG SHA-256 is 4490D62FB6679378E92CACA48427359091AD2106BE49FC1A3848F78BE03BEEB1. Pinned libaom tracing records many actual WARPED_CAUSAL blocks. The multi-sample model at mode-information row 6, column 8 derives matrix [-191565, 599107, 61755, -140, -6909, 62012] and reduced shear [-3776, -128, -7360, -3520] from four retained neighbor samples. The production test requires decoded warped mode state, compares every final native Y, U, and V sample and the final RGBA presentation exactly, runs normal and scalar dispatch through FeatureTestRunner, and repeats reconstruction with constrained tracked allocation.

Global warped-motion fixture

The libavif-rotating-grid-global-warp.avif fixture uses the same deterministic two-frame 256x256 limited-range YUV444 source and its 82C1468C95C996B05165590417184F59373D67896F8C7B0EB398582C29C9C7A7 SHA-256. Pinned libavif commit 062e582e8afda88e6baf988fdcf046a801efa0f5 and libaom commit 03087864cf4bea6abb0d28f95cf7843511413d8f generated the fixture and references with:

The retained frame-1 Y4M SHA-256 is A36D445778BB2D37D69526A1058E3569DA24F3913317EFE22ADB61748A0F7511, and the frame-1 PNG SHA-256 is F7D27ABF79450DFA311F72106FD1DA80997EABC0937F2F5578EF627119FF83B0. Pinned libaom tracing records seven actual GLOBALMV blocks using the valid rotation/zoom matrix [-357376, 372736, 65468, 2856, -2856, 65468] and reduced shear [-64, 2880, -2880, 64]. The production sequence test requires that decoded model and mode state, compares every final native Y, U, and V sample and the final RGBA presentation exactly, runs normal and scalar dispatch through FeatureTestRunner, and repeats reconstruction with constrained tracked allocation. A direct production-branch test independently drives both references of GLOBAL_GLOBALMV through the matrix predictor and compound averaging at 8, 10, and 12 bits.

Updating fixtures

Do not create conformance references with ImageSharp. Generate both the native-plane and presentation references with an independent decoder, record the exact upstream revisions and source license, and preserve exact comparisons. A new tool-specific fixture should demonstrate that the relevant syntax is active and should be no larger than required to cover that behavior.
