  • Patent number: 12413496
    Abstract: Methods and systems for determining usage are described. Initially, site-centric data and panel-centric data are accessed and pre-processed. Initial usage measurement data is determined based on the pre-processed site-centric data. One or more adjustment factors are determined based on the pre-processed panel-centric data. The one or more adjustment factors are applied to the initial usage measurement data to generate an adjusted usage measurement data. Reports based on the adjusted usage measurement data are generated.

  • Patent number: 12333484
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for providing secure and trusted access to information regarding online inventory and for providing publishers control over the type and amount of information provided regarding the online inventory are disclosed. One aspect includes receiving a request to generate a secure token related to online inventory and obtaining an identifier associated with the content associated with the online inventory based at least in part on a URL included in the received request. The obtained identifier is combined with other information associated with the content associated with the online inventory. A secure token is generated by applying one or more security features to the combination of the obtained identifier and the other information associated with the content associated with the online inventory.

  • Publication number: 20240062345
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for foreground object deletion and inpainting, including storing contextual information corresponding to an image of a scene, identifying one or more foreground objects in the scene based at least in part on the contextual information, each foreground object having a corresponding object mask, identifying at least one foreground object in the one or more foreground objects for removal from the image, generating a removal mask corresponding to the at least one foreground object based at least in part on at least one object mask corresponding to the at least one foreground object, determining an estimated geometry of the scene behind the at least one foreground object based at least in part on the contextual information, and inpainting pixels corresponding to the removal mask with a replacement texture omitting the foreground object based at least in part on the estimated geometry of the scene.
