Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for generating information, and relate to the field of cloud computation. The method may include: receiving a video and an audio of a user from a client; analyzing the video and the audio to determine an intention category of the user; generating feedback information according to the intention category of the user and a preset service information set; generating a video of a pre-established three-dimensional virtual portrait by means of an animation engine based on the feedback information; and transmitting the video of the three-dimensional virtual portrait to the client, for the client to present to the user.

Method and apparatus for generating information

An in-loop filtering acceleration circuit applied in a video codec system supporting the H.264 standard and the VC-1 standard is provided. The circuit includes multiple one-dimensional (1D) filters configured to perform a filtering process; and a filter selection unit configured to select one of the 1D filters according to the value of the boundary strength to perform the filtering processing to the reconstructed macroblock. The in-loop filtering acceleration circuit further divides the reconstructed macroblock into multiple 8&#xd7;8 blocks and multiple 4&#xd7;4 blocks, performs the filtering process to horizontal edges of the 8&#xd7;8 blocks the reconstructed macroblock row by row from bottom to top, and performs the filtering process to horizontal edges of the 4&#xd7;4 blocks row by row from top to bottom.

Motion estimation and in-loop filtering method and device thereof

The invention provides a video codec. In one embodiment, the video codec is coupled to an outer memory storing a reference frame, and comprises an interface circuit, an in-chip memory, a motion estimation circuit, and a controller. The interface circuit obtains in-chip data from the reference frame stored in the outer memory. The in-chip memory stores the in-chip data. The motion estimation circuit retrieves search window data from the in-chip data with a search window, and performs a motion estimation process on a current macroblock according to the search-window data. The controller shifts the location of the search window when the current macroblock is shifted, marks a macroblock shifted out from the search window as an empty macroblock, and controls the interface circuit to obtain an updated macroblock for replacing the empty macroblock in the in-chip memory from the reference frame stored in the outer memory.
