Abstract:
A media fingerprint archive system generates and archives media fingerprints from second media content portions such as commercials. A downstream media measurement system can extract/derive query fingerprints from an incoming signal, and query the media fingerprint archive system whether any of the query fingerprints matches any archived fingerprints. If so, the media measurement system can perform media measurements on a specific secondary media content portion from which the matched query fingerprint is derived. If not, the media measurement system can analyze media characteristics of a media content portion to determine whether the media content portion is a secondary media content portion and perform media measurement if needed to. The media measurement system may send fingerprints from an identified secondary media content portion to the media fingerprint archive system for storage.

Abstract:
A method for creating a head-related impulse response (HRIR) for use in rendering audio for playback through headphones comprises receiving location parameters for a sound including azimuth, elevation, and range relative to a head of a listener, applying a spherical head model to the azimuth, elevation, and range input parameters to generate binaural HRIR values, computing a pinna model using the azimuth and elevation parameters to apply to the binaural HRIR values to pinna modeled HRIR values, computing a torso model using the azimuth and elevation parameters to apply to the pinna modeled HRIR values to generate pinna and torso modeled HRIR values, and computing a near-field model using the azimuth and range parameters to apply to the pinna and torso modeled HRIR values to generate pinna, torso and near-field modeled HRIR values.
Abstract:
Techniques for adaptive processing of media data based on separate data specifying a state of the media data are provided. A device in a media processing chain may determine whether a type of media processing has already been performed on an input version of media data. If so, the device may adapt its processing of the media data to disable performing the type of media processing. If not, the device performs the type of media processing. The device may create a state of the media data specifying the type of media processing. The device may communicate the state of the media data and an output version of the media data to a recipient device in the media processing chain, for the purpose of supporting the recipient device's adaptive processing of the media data.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for detecting a synchronization code word embedded in a plurality of frames of a signal are described. In one example embodiment, the synchronization code word contains “s” bits, embedded one bit per frame in “s” frames of an input signal. The method of detecting this synchronization code word includes: initiating a first segmentation procedure wherein “n” segments are defined in each signal frame of the input signal. A first correlation threshold value, which is based on the synchronization code word, is used to identify in the “n” segments, a first segment having the highest likelihood of containing at least a portion of the synchronization code word. The first segment is used to initiate a recursive detection procedure incorporating one or more additional segmentation procedures and one or more additional correlation threshold values, to detect the synchronization code word in a sub-divided portion of the first segment.
