  • Publication number: 20190221001
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide an image processing framework that sub-divides computer vision techniques into three computationally efficient steps: detection, classification and matching. These steps provide an improved image processing framework that can analyze live stream data of a media file, in real-time, in order to identify and track specific digital objects depicted therein. This enables not only image processing detection results, but also the capabilities of augmenting the video stream with additional data related to the detected object.
