Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to credit media segments shared among multiple media assets are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include comparing a sequence of monitored media signatures with a library of reference signatures to determine a signature match, the monitored media signatures representative of a monitored media presentation. Disclosed example methods also include determining a duration and an offset of the signature match, the offset to represent a position of the signature match relative to a start of a reference media asset associated with the signature match. Disclosed example methods further include crediting a segment of the monitored media presentation represented by the signature match to an identifier of a class of media assets including the reference media asset in response to a determination that (i) the duration of the signature match does not exceed a first threshold and (ii) the offset does not exceed a second threshold.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to identify alternate language versions of media based on signature matching are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein include a signature matcher to compare signatures in monitored data with reference signatures to determine signature match strengths associated with portions of the monitored data, the reference signatures associated with reference media assets. Disclosed example apparatus also include a data segmenter to divide the monitored data into first and second segments, the first segments including temporally adjacent portions of the monitored data having signature match strengths that satisfy a threshold, the second segments including temporally adjacent portions of the monitored data having signature match strengths that do not satisfy the threshold. Disclosed example apparatus further includes a trend determiner to determine, based on a pattern of the first and second segments, whether the monitored data is associated with an alternative language version of one of the reference media assets.
