  • Patent number: 10452919
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a data store storing a first image and a second image; a computer processor coupled to the data store and programmed to: generate a first fingerprint of the first image based on a first plurality of pixels from the first image stored in the data store; generate a second fingerprint of the second image based on a second plurality of pixels from the second image stored in the data store; determine a closeness value between the first fingerprint and the second fingerprint; determine, based on the closeness value, whether the first image matches the second image.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 6, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 22, 2019
    Assignee: NETFLIX, INC.

  • Patent number: 9418296
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a data store storing a first video and a second video that is associated with the first video; a computer processor coupled to the data store and programmed to: generate a first model fingerprint of the first video, based on pixels in a first model frame in a first model segment of the first video stored in the data store; generate a first test fingerprint of the second video based on pixels in a first test frame in the second video stored in the data store; determine a first closeness value between the first model fingerprint and the first test fingerprint; determine, based on the first closeness value, whether the first test frame is a first boundary of a first segment in the second video, wherein the first segment in the second video is similar to the first model segment in the first video.
