    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to adjust device control information. The example apparatus comprises a light drive waveform generator to obtain metadata corresponding to media and generate device control information based on the metadata, the device control information to inform a lighting device to enable consecutive light pulses; an effect engine to apply an attack parameter and a decay parameter to consecutive light pulses corresponding to the device control information, the attack parameter and the decay parameter based on the metadata to affect a shape of the consecutive light pulses; and a color timeline generator to generate color information based on the metadata, the color information to inform the lighting device to change a color state.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to improve media identification. An example apparatus includes a hash handler to generate a first set of reference matches by performing hash functions on a subset of media data associated with media to generate hashed media data based on a first bucket size, a candidate determiner to identify a second set of reference matches that include ones of the first set, the second set including ones having first quantities of hits that did not satisfy a threshold, determine second quantities of hits for ones of the second set by matching ones to the hash tables based on a second bucket size, and identify one or more candidate matches based on at least one of (1) ones of the first set or (2) ones of the second set, and a report generator to generate a report including a media identification.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to fingerprint an audio signal via exponential normalization. An example apparatus includes an audio segmenter to divide an audio signal into a plurality of audio segments including a first audio segment and a second audio segment, the first audio segment including a first time-frequency bin, the second audio segment including a second time-frequency bin, a mean calculator to determine a first exponential mean value associated with the first time frequency bin based on a first magnitude of the audio signal associated with the first time frequency bin and a second exponential mean value associated with the second time frequency bin based on a second magnitude of the audio signal associated with the second time frequency bin and the first exponential mean value. The example apparatus further includes a bin normalizer to normalize the first time-frequency bin based on the second exponential mean value and a fingerprint generator to generate a fingerprint of the audio signal based on the normalized first time-frequency bins.

    Abstract: As a user is being presented with interactive media by a presenting device, a separate monitoring device may be used to monitor the presentation of the interactive media and detect an event that occurs therein. Such a monitoring device may be configured and positioned to access media content from the presentation of the interactive media. For example, the monitoring device may be configured and positioned to record video content with a camera and record audio content with a microphone. Having accessed this media content, the monitoring device may generate an identifier, such as a fingerprint or watermark, of the media content and compare the generated identifier with a reference identifier that is generated from the source of the media content. Based on the generated identifier matching the reference identifier, the monitoring device may detect that an event has occurred within the interactive media presentation and present a corresponding notification.

    Abstract: A machine may be configured to generate one or more audio fingerprints of one or more segments of audio data. The machine may access audio data to be fingerprinted and divide the audio data into segments. For any given segment, the machine may generate a spectral representation from the segment; generate a vector from the spectral representation; generate an ordered set of permutations of the vector; generate an ordered set of numbers from the permutations of the vector; and generate a fingerprint of the segment of the audio data, which may be considered a sub-fingerprint of the audio data. In addition, the machine or a separate device may be configured to determine a likelihood that candidate audio data matches reference audio data.

    Abstract: A matching machine accordingly accesses a query fingerprint that includes query sub-fingerprints that have been generated from query segments of a portion of query audio. After selecting reference sub-fingerprints for comparison to the query sub-fingerprints, the matching machine identifies a best-matching subset of the reference sub-fingerprints by evaluating total matches between the query sub-fingerprints and different subsets of the reference sub-fingerprints. The match machine then generates a count vector that stores the total counts mapped to respective offsets from a reference point in the reference sub-fingerprints. The matching machine determines a maximum count among the total counts and classifies the reference sub-fingerprints as a match with the query sub-fingerprints based on the maximum count.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for audio equalization based on variant selection. An example apparatus to equalize audio includes at least one memory, machine readable instructions, and processor circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to train a neural network model to apply a first audio equalization profile to first audio associated with a first variant of media, and apply a second audio equalization profile to second audio associated with a second variant of media. The processor circuitry is to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to at least one of dispatch or execute the neural network model.
