    Abstract: A method and system for extracting segments from a broadcast television signal uses a mean display attribute value of pixels of each successive frame of a video component of the signal to identify segment transitions. Elapsed times between the identified segment transitions are compared with expected durations of segments, in order to detect intervals that are likely to constitute segments. Groups of the detected intervals are subjected to tests to see if they are temporally arranged in an expected distribution typical of segments in broadcast signals. The mean display attribute values concurrent with each detected segment are then used to form a statistical profile for the segment. These statistical profiles may be used to identify re-broadcast segments. Further a stream of mean audio amplitudes is preferably used to supply further segment transitions, to improve segment detection, and to provide more statistical values.

    Abstract: A broadcast program receiving and recording device which identifies songs and commercials within the recorded content by searching the content for repeating segments, and bookmarking segments that substantially duplicate other segments as being either songs (if longer than about two minutes) or commercials (if shorter than about two minutes). Repeating duplicate segments are identified by using a Haar wavelet transform to identification values that are placed in a searchable database for comparison with identification values representative of other content. Bookmarking records are used to identify repeating segments.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a signature characterizing an interval of a video signal representing a picture for use in broadcast segment recognition. The signature is produced based on portions of the video signal representing corresponding regions of the picture. The invention also serves to produce a corresponding mast word including a plurality of bit values each representing a reliability of a corresponding value of the signature. The first signature is formed having a plurality of values each of which is based on a respective one of the portions of the video signal. A second signature is formed also having a plurality of values each based on respective ones of a plurality of shifted portions of the video signal. The shifted portions each corresponds to a respective one of the video signal portions and has a location displaced from a location of the respective one of the portions by a predetermined amount, such that each value of the first signature corresponds to a value of the second signature. The respective values of the first and second signatures are compared and bit values of the mask word are established based on this comparison.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for monitoring, identifying, classifying and logging musical work performance broadcasts over the public airwaves. The system uses a neural network to classify specially-processed "retinal" signatures of the musical work performance. The neural network is trained for each musical work using a single noise-biased retinal sample of the spectral distribution of preselected dynamic features of the corresponding audio signal. A detection decision is made at the neural network output using fuzzy logic circuitry to compare results of predetermined thresholding. The system of this invention fully automates the real-time identification of broadcast musical work performances.

    Abstract: Broadcast segment recognition systems and methods are provided in which a signature representing a monitored broadcast segment is compared with broadcast segment signatures in a data base representing known broadcast segments to determine whether a match exists. Criteria for determining the validity of such a match are provided. In addition, signatures characterizing respective intervals of a broadcast signal exhibiting correlation are produced by generating a difference vector for each respective interval and carrying out vector transformations of the different vectors to reduce such correlation. Also, a broadcast segment recognition data base is updated by monitoring a broadcast signal to detect signal events indicating possible broadcast segments of interest in which at least two alternative segments of interest are detected by assigning priority to one of the two segments based upon predetermined criteria. A signature characterizing a broadcast signal interval is produced including a plurality of digital words each characterizing a respective sub-interval thereof by selecting at least one such digital word based on predetermined digital word distribution criteria, match probability and a degree of signal difference between the respective sub-interval and adjacent portions of the signal.
