  • Publication number: 20240070714
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to group advertisements by advertisement campaign are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory; instructions in the apparatus; and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to determine pixel color values from a reference advertisement of an advertisement campaign; remove bits from the pixel color values associated with the reference advertisement; determine a first color proportion corresponding the reference advertisement based on the pixel color values; associate the first color proportion with the advertisement campaign; and identify a second advertisement as associated with the advertisement campaign based on a second color proportion of the second advertisement relative to the first color proportion, the second advertisement different than the reference advertisement.

  • Patent number: 11195200
    Abstract: A disclosed example method to group advertisements by advertisement campaign involves determining a first color proportion of a first color and a second color proportion of a second color in a first advertisement. The example method involves comparing first and second color proportions of the first advertisement to a third color proportion and a fourth color proportion of a second advertisement. The example method also involves associating the second advertisement with a same advertisement campaign of the first advertisement when a comparison between the first color proportion and the third color proportion satisfies a first threshold and a comparison between the second color proportion and the fourth color proportion satisfies a second threshold.
