Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to identify non-traditional asset-bundles for purchasing groups using social media. An example method includes identifying an asset-bundle in a social media message and generating a profile for a user associated with the social media message. The example method also includes identifying a plurality of social media messages posted by cohorts of the user based on the generated profile and classifying the asset-bundle based on occurrences of the asset-bundle in the plurality of social media messages.

Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems to perform context-based image recognition for consumer market research are disclosed. Disclosed example methods include comparing a first subset of feature points in a first region of interest of a reference image with a first subset of feature points of a first image residing within a first region corresponding spatially to the first region of interest and located at a first location in the first image to determine a first match value. Disclosed example methods also include, in response to determining the first match value satisfies a first threshold, comparing a second subset of feature points in a second region of interest of the reference image with a second subset of the feature points of the first image residing within a second region of the first image corresponding spatially to the second region of interest to determine a second match value.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to monitor environments are disclosed. An example method includes analyzing, with a processor, a plurality of three-dimensional data points having respective depth values representative of distances from a sensor of an environment; when a first set of the three-dimensional data points has a first depth value satisfying a threshold, executing, with the processor, a first type of recognition analysis on a first area of the environment corresponding to the first set of the three-dimensional data points; and when a second set of the three-dimensional data points has a second depth value not satisfying the threshold, executing, with the processor, a second type of recognition analysis different than the first type of recognition analysis on a second area of the environment corresponding to the second set of the three-dimensional data points.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to monitor environments are disclosed. An example method includes analyzing a plurality of three-dimensional data points having respective depth values representative of distances between a sensor and respective objects of an environment; when a first set of the three-dimensional data points has a first depth value less than a threshold, executing a first type of recognition analysis on a first area of the environment corresponding to the first set of the three-dimensional data points; and when a second set of the three-dimensional data points has a second depth value greater than the threshold, executing a second type of recognition analysis different than the first type of recognition analysis on a second area of the environment corresponding to the second set of the three-dimensional data points.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to estimate demographics of users employing social media. An example method disclosed herein includes (1) identifying a social media message regarding an asset, the social media message associated with a user identifier associated with the user, (2) determining demographics associated with a group of people exposed to the asset, (3) associating the user identifier with the asset, and (4) repeating (1) to (3). The example method also includes (5) combining demographics associated with two or more different groups of people with which the user identifier is associated to estimate a demographic profile for the user.

Abstract: Example methods and apparatus to determine demographic distributions of online users is disclosed. An example method includes obtaining first demographic information of first visitors to a first web site, obtaining second demographic information of second visitors to a second web site, the first and second visitors both comprising a same user, and determining a demographic distribution of the user based on the first and second demographic information.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to estimate demography based on aerial images are disclosed. An example method includes analyzing a first aerial image of a first geographic area to detect a first plurality of objects, and estimating a demographic characteristic of the first geographic area based on the first plurality of objects.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to detect shapes are disclosed. An example method includes determining a depth value associated with an object outline detected in image data representative of an environment; and using the depth value to select a first group of reference shapes to be compared to the object outline from a collection of reference shapes, the first group representing a portion of the collection of reference shapes.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to determine engagement levels of audience members are disclosed. An example method includes analyzing image data corresponding to an environment in which an audience is exposed to media presented by a first media presentation device to determine whether the environment includes a glow emanating from a second media presentation device; and when the environment includes the glow, calculating an engagement for a person in the environment with respect to the first media presentation device based on a presence of the glow.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to determine engagement levels of audience members are disclosed. An example method includes detecting light information in image data representative of an environment including a primary media device; determining whether a secondary media device is in the environment based on the detected light information; and calculating, via a logic circuit, an engagement level for a person with respect to the primary media device based on the secondary media device determination.
