SCHEME FOR DETERMINING THE LOCATIONS AND TIMING OF ADVERTISEMENTS AND OTHER INSERTIONS IN MEDIA

摘要

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores one or more computer programs adapted to cause a processor based system to execute steps that include analyzing an image, identifying one or more faces in the image using a face recognition technique, designating at least one of the identified faces collectively as a first area of interest, and determining whether an insertion area exists in the image where additional content can be inserted without obstructing the first area of interest. Another computer program is adapted to cause a processor based system to execute steps that include determining whether the insertion area can be divided into two or more regions based on color. Methods and processor based apparatuses that perform one or more of these steps are also disclosed.

1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more computer programs adapted to cause a processor based system to execute steps comprising:
analyzing a sequence of frames of content; identifying a first area of interest in a scene depicted by the sequence of frames that should not be obstructed from being viewed; determining whether an insertion area exists in the scene where additional content can be inserted without obstructing the first area of interest; and determining whether the insertion area can be divided into two or more regions based on color.
