Abstract:
Content-based clustering, recognition, classification and search of high volumes of multimedia data in real-time. The embodiments disclosed herein are dedicated to real-time fast generation of signatures to high-volume of multimedia content-segments, based on relevant audio and visual signals, and to scalable matching of signatures of high-volume database of content-segments' signatures. The embodiments disclosed herein can be implemented in any applications which involve large-scale content-based clustering, recognition and classification of multimedia data, such as, content-tracking, video filtering, multimedia taxonomy generation, video fingerprinting, speech-to-text, audio classification, object recognition, video search and any other application requiring content-based signatures generation and matching for large content volumes such as, web and other large-scale databases.
Abstract:
A method and system for determining a current context of a multimedia content element are provided. The method includes receiving at least one multimedia content element from a user device; receiving at least one environmental variable related to the at least one multimedia content element; generating at least one signature for the multimedia content element; determining a context of the at least one multimedia content element based on the at least one contextual parameter; and determining the current context of the at least one multimedia content element based on at least one contextual parameter and the determined context.
Abstract:
A method for reducing an amount of storage required for maintaining a large-scale collection of multimedia data elements by unsupervised clustering of multimedia data elements. The method comprises processing the multimedia data elements in the large-scale collection to generate a first cluster of multimedia data elements; storing the first cluster in a storage unit; repeating the generation of a new cluster from the first cluster and un-clustered multimedia elements in the large-scale collection until a single cluster is reached; and storing the new cluster generated at each iteration in the storage unit, wherein a N-th cluster generated at the N-th iteration is stored in the storage unit, wherein the amount of storage required to store the N-th cluster is less than an amount of storage of the large-scale collection, thereby the unsupervised clustering enables reducing the storage amount required to store the multimedia data elements in the large-scale collection.
Abstract:
A method and system for matching sequentially relevant content to at least one multimedia content item (MMCI) captured by a mobile device are provided. The method comprises receiving from a mobile device the MMCI captured by at least one sensor of the mobile device; generating a signature for the captured MMCI; and matching at least one sequentially relevant content item respective of the signature of the captured MMCI.
Abstract:
A method for conducting search-by-content is provided. The method includes responsive to an input multimedia content item provided to a user device, checking if the input multimedia content item matches at least one concept of a plurality of concepts cached in the user device; retrieving characteristics set for a user of the user device; performing a search, using the at least one matching concept, for multimedia content items similar to the input multimedia content item; determining which of the search results are of interest to the user based on the characteristics set for the user; and saving results that are of interest to the user in the user device, wherein the saved results include multimedia content items.
Abstract:
A method and system for verifying an identity of a user accessing a user device are provided. The method includes receiving a request to verify the user identity accessing the user device; receiving a plurality of multimedia identification signals from the user device; querying a deep-content-classification (DCC) system to find a match between at least one concept structure associated with the user and the plurality of received multimedia identification signals, wherein the concept structure is created during a sign-in procedure; and sending an authentication notification upon determination of a match between the at least one concept structure and the plurality of received multimedia identification signals.
Abstract:
A method and system for detecting at least an advertising attractive area within a multimedia content element over which an advertisement item can be displayed. The method comprises extracting the multimedia content element from a web-page; partitioning the multimedia content element into a predefined number of portions; generating at least one signature for each portion of the multimedia content element; analyzing the at least one signature generated for each portion of the multimedia content elements; and identifying at least one attractive advertising area within the multimedia content element based on the signature analysis.
Abstract:
A method and system for profiling interests of users based on multimedia content analysis and creating users' profiles respective thereof is provided. The method comprises receiving a tracking information gathered with respect to an interaction of a user with at least one multimedia element displayed on a user node; determining a user impression respective of at least one multimedia content element using the received tracking information; generating at least one signature for the at least one multimedia element; determining at least a concept of the at least one multimedia element using the at least one generated signature, wherein an interest of the user is determined respective of the concept; creating a user profile to include at least the user interest; and storing the user profile in a data warehouse.
Abstract:
A method for associating at least a link to an information resource with a multimedia content element. The method comprises identifying at least one multimedia content element in a web-page, wherein a uniform resource locator (URL) of the web-page is received from any one of a user device and a web server hosting the web-page; generating a signature for at least a portion of the at least one identified multimedia content element; determining at least a link to the at least a portion of the content respective of the generated signature; and providing the web-page with the at least a link respective of the signature of the at least a portion of the at least one multimedia content element to the user device.
Abstract:
A method for matching an advertisement item to a multimedia content element. The method comprises extracting at least one multimedia content element from a web-page requested for display on a user node; generating a signature of the at least one multimedia content element; searching for at least one advertisement item respective of the signature; and causing the display of the at least one advertisement item within a display area of the web-page.
