    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Methods and systems for determining if end-users are expected to be receiving transmissions from a multimedia network at a particular time. Data including end-user type, a multimedia network, a particular time slot of the repeating cycles, and a network reach descriptor may be received. End-users may be identified by end-user type. For each end-user, a probability of receiving transmissions from the multimedia network during time slots prior to the particular time slot may be determined, based on previous viewing activities. Each probability may be adjusted by an offset such that an average of the adjusted probabilities corresponds to the network reach descriptor. A determination may be made of whether or not each end-user is expected to have been receiving transmissions from the multimedia network at the particular time slot, based on the adjusted respective probability.

    摘要: In one aspect, an example system includes a first distributor server to cause transmission of first media associated with first data representing a first state of the first media scheduled to end at a scheduled end-time. The example system includes a receiver to obtain second data representing a second state of a past event corresponding to a subject of the first media, determine a predicted end-time of the first media based on a comparison of the first and second states, and after a determination that the predicted end-time is after at least one of the scheduled end-time of the first media or a scheduled start-time of second media, generate an electronic program guide (EPG) based on the predicted end-time. The example system also includes a second distributor server to cause transmission of a portion of second media to the receiver, the second distributor server different from the first distributor server.

    摘要: Techniques of content unification are disclosed. In some example embodiments, a computer-implemented method comprises: determining clusters based a comparison of a plurality of audio content using a first matching criteria, each cluster of the plurality of clusters comprising at least two audio content from the plurality of audio content; for each cluster of the plurality of clusters, determining a representative audio content for the cluster from the at least two audio content of the cluster; loading the corresponding representative audio content of each cluster into an index; matching the query audio content to one of the representative audio contents using a first matching criteria; determining the corresponding cluster of the matched representative audio content; and identifying a match between the query audio content and at least one of the audio content of the cluster of the matched representative audio content based on a comparison using a second matching criteria.

    摘要: Systems and methods for monitoring of icon in an external display device are disclosed. Images of an icon displayed in a display device may be continually captured as video frames by a video camera of an icon monitoring system. While operating in a first mode, video frames may be continually analyzed to determine if the captured image matches an active template icon known to match the captured image of the icon. While the captured image matches the active template icon, operating in the first mode continues. Upon detecting a failed match to the active template icon, the system starts operating in a second to search among known template icons for a new match. Upon finding a new match, the active template icon may be updated to the new match, and operation switches back to the first mode. Times of transitions between the first and second modes may be recorded.
