  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATIC DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION OF UNIDENTIFIED VIDEO SIGNALS
    Publication number: 20090006337
    Abstract: A method of detecting the identity of video programming is described, whereby known video programming is converted into a set of pattern vectors stored in a database and incoming detected video programming is converted into a set of pattern vectors that are used to search the database for matching pattern vectors indicating a match with the known video programming.
