Video identification through detection of proprietary rights logos in media

摘要

Proprietary rights logos are detected in a video. The video is divided into a plurality of regions that are analyzed for generic proprietary rights logo features. A confidence mask is generated that comprises a plurality of scaling factors, each scaling factor corresponding to a region of the video and indicating a likelihood that the corresponding region of the video includes a proprietary rights logo. The scaling factors of the confidence mask are applied to the video data to generate an altered video. The altered video is analyzed to determine a confidence measure that the video includes a reference proprietary rights logo.

主权项

1. A method for detecting at least one known logo in a video, the video comprising a plurality of regions, each region comprising video data, the method executed by at least one computer system and comprising:
generating a confidence mask comprising a plurality of scaling factors, each scaling factor corresponding to a region of the video and indicating a likelihood that the corresponding region of the video includes a logo; applying the scaling factors of the confidence mask to the video data for the corresponding regions of the video to generate an altered video; and determining from the altered video a confidence measure as to whether the video includes a known logo.
