DYNAMICALLY TARGETED AD AUGMENTATION IN VIDEO

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamic augmentation of images and videos. User input and image processing is used to both manually and automatically identify spots in images and videos where content can be convincingly inserted to form native advertisements. Ad servers can identify targeted ads for a particular viewer and automatically supply those ads for insertion in the identified spots when the viewer views the content, thus providing a low-impact targeted advertising experience. For new episodes of an existing show or series, identified spots in the known episodes can be used to identify spots in new episodes, even automatically.

1. A method for automatic detection of augmentable regions in videos, comprising:
receiving an unprocessed video comprising one episode of a plurality of related episodes; identifying a plurality of videos of the plurality of related episodes that have been previously processed to identify one or more augmentable regions; matching at least one segment of the unprocessed video to at least one segment of the identified plurality of processed videos; and processing the unprocessed video by identifying one or more augmentable regions based on the matched segments.
