Abstract: A computing system automatically detects, in a sequence of video frames, a video frame region that depicts a scoreboard. The video frames of the sequence depict image elements including (i) scoreboard image elements that are unchanging across the video frames of the sequence and (ii) other image elements that change across the video frames of the sequence. Given this, the computing system (a) receives the sequence, (b) engages in an edge-detection process to detect, in the video frames of the sequence, a set of edges of the depicted image elements, (c) identifies a subset of the detected set of edges based on each edge of the subset being unchanging across the video frames of the sequence, and (d) detects, based on the edges of the identified subset, the video frame region that depicts the scoreboard.

Abstract: In one aspect, an example method for generating a candidate image for use as backdrop imagery for a graphical user interface is disclosed. The method includes receiving a raw image and determining an edge image from the raw image using edge detection. The method also includes identifying a candidate region of interest (ROI) in the raw image based on the candidate ROI enclosing a portion of the edge image having edge densities exceeding a threshold edge density. The method also includes manipulating the raw image relative to a backdrop imagery canvas for a graphical user interface based on a location of the candidate ROI within the raw image. The method also includes generating, based on the manipulating, a set of candidate backdrop images in which at least a portion of the candidate ROI occupies a preselected area of the backdrop imagery canvas, and storing the set of candidate backdrop images.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to identify media that has been pitch shifted, time shifted, and/or resampled. An example apparatus includes: memory; instructions in the apparatus; and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to: transmit a fingerprint of an audio signal and adjusting instructions to a central facility to facilitate a query, the adjusting instructions identifying at least one of a pitch shift, a time shift, or a resample ratio; obtain a response including an identifier for the audio signal and information corresponding to how the audio signal was adjusted; and change the adjusting instructions based on the information.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to identify media. An example method includes: in response to a query, generating an adjusted sample media fingerprint by applying an adjustment to a sample media fingerprint; comparing the adjusted sample media fingerprint to a reference media fingerprint; and in response to the adjusted sample media fingerprint matching the reference media fingerprint, transmitting information associated with the reference media fingerprint and the adjustment.

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: A computing system automatically detects, within a digital video frame, a video frame region that depicts a textual expression of a scoreboard. The computing system (a) engages in an edge-detection process to detect edges of at least scoreboard image elements depicted by the digital video frame, with at least some of these edges being of the textual expression and defining alphanumeric shapes; (b) applies pattern-recognition to identify the alphanumeric shapes; (c) establishes a plurality of minimum bounding rectangles each bounding a respective one of the identified alphanumeric shapes; (d) establishes, based on at least two of the minimum bounding rectangles, a composite shape that encompasses the identified alphanumeric shapes that were bounded by the at least two minimum bounding rectangles; and (e) based on the composite shape occupying a particular region, deems the particular region to be the video frame region that depicts the textual expression.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to select reference sub-fingerprints for comparison to query sub-fingerprints based on a determination that a query sub-fingerprint is a match with a reference sub-fingerprint, generate a count vector that stores total counts of matches between the query sub-fingerprints and different subsets of the reference sub-fingerprints, each of the different subsets being aligned to the query sub-fingerprints at a different offset from a reference point, each of the different offsets being mapped by the count vector to a different total count, calculate a maximum count among the total counts, a median of the total counts, and a difference between the maximum count and the median of the total counts, and classify the reference sub-fingerprints as a match with the query sub-fingerprints based on the difference between the maximum count in the count vector and the median.

Abstract: An example method may include receiving, at a computing device, a digital image associated with a particular media content program, the digital image containing one or more faces of particular people associated with the particular media content program. A computer-implemented automated face recognition program may be applied to the digital image to recognize, based on at least one feature vector from a prior-determined set of feature vectors, one or more of the particular people in the digital image, together with respective geometric coordinates for each of the one or more detected faces. At least a subset of the prior-determined set of feature vectors may be associated with a respective one of the particular people. The digital image together may be stored in non-transitory computer-readable memory, together with information assigning respective identities of the recognized particular people, and associating with each respective assigned identity geometric coordinates in the digital image.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems, articles of manufacture, and methods for volume adjustment are disclosed herein. An example method includes collecting data corresponding to a volume of an audio signal as the audio signal is output through a device, when an average volume of the audio signal does not satisfy a volume threshold for a specified timespan, determining a difference between the average volume and a desired volume, and applying a gain to the audio signal to adjust the volume of the audio signal to the desired volume, the gain determined based on the difference between the average volume and the desired volume.
