Patent number: 9177209Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product code for temporal, event-based video fingerprinting. In one embodiment, events in video content are detected. The video content comprises a plurality of video frames. An event represents discrete points of interest in the video content. A set of temporal, event-based segments are generated using the events. Each temporal, event-based segment is a segment of the video content covering a set of events. A time series signal is derived from each temporal, event-based segment using temporal tracking of content-based features of a set of frames associated with the each temporal, event-based segment. A temporal segment based fingerprint is extracted based on the time series signal for the each temporal, event-based segment to form a set of temporal segment based fingerprints associated with the video content.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2007Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: SINOEAST CONCEPT LIMITEDInventors: Jane Wen Chang, Apostol Ivanov Natsev, John R. Smith
