Abstract:
A method for generating a concept database respective of a plurality of multimedia data elements (MMDEs) comprises generating a plurality of items from a received MMDE of the plurality of MMDEs; determining the items that are of interest for signature generation; generating at least one signature responsive to at least one item of interest of the received MMDE of the plurality of MMDEs; clustering a plurality of signatures received from the signature generator responsive of the plurality of MMDEs; reducing the number of signatures in each cluster to a create a signature reduced cluster (SRC) of the cluster; associating metadata with the SRC to a concept structure comprised of a plurality of SRCs and their associated metadata; and generating at least one index for mapping the received MMDE to at least one concept structure, wherein the concept database includes concept structures and the generated indices for the plurality of MMDEs.
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 searching a plurality of information sources using a multimedia content element are provided. The method comprises receiving an input search query including the multimedia content element and at least one on-image gesture detected thereon; generating at least one signature for the multimedia content element; analyzing the at least one on-image gesture to determine at least one portion of the multimedia content element in which a user is interested; generating at least one signature for each of the at least one portion of the multimedia content element; generating a textual search query using the at least the one generated signature; searching the plurality of information sources using the generated textual search query; and causing the display of search results retrieved from the plurality of information sources on a user device.
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.
