Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for overlaying content on video streams. In one aspect, a category of a video is identified. Confidence scores are determined that each indicate a likelihood that a location in a frame includes a feature of a feature type. A weight for each feature type is determined, based on the category, that reflects an importance of not occluding features of the feature type. Confidence scores are adjusted, for each feature type, based on the weight for the feature type, to generate adjusted confidence scores. The adjusted confidence scores are aggregated for each location for each frame to generate aggregated and adjusted confidence scores. A location at which to position overlaid content during video display is determined based on the aggregated and adjusted confidence scores. The overlaid content is provided for display at the determined location in the video.

Abstract: A mobile device responds in real time to media content presented on a media device, such as a television. The mobile device captures temporal fragments of audio-video content on its microphone, camera, or both and generates corresponding audio-video query fingerprints. The query fingerprints are transmitted to a search server located remotely or used with a search function on the mobile device for content search and identification. Audio features are extracted and audio signal global onset detection is used for input audio frame alignment. Additional audio feature signatures are generated from local audio frame onsets, audio frame frequency domain entropy, and maximum change in the spectral coefficients. Video frames are analyzed to find a television screen in the frames, and a detected active television quadrilateral is used to generate video fingerprints to be combined with audio fingerprints for more reliable content identification.
