  • Publication number: 20110312414
    Abstract: Methods and computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that facilitate generating an analysis or certification of inventory elements in a virtual environment, such as a 3-D video game environment, are provided. Data is referenced from a video game, including the identity of each inventory element in the video game environment where an advertisement may be displayed. Inventory elements are populated with test patterns corresponding to the identity of the inventory elements. Screenshots are referenced from each of the inventory elements in the video game and, based on those screenshots, identifiable features are associated with each of the inventory elements using optical character recognition. Based on the identified features associated with each of the inventory elements, an analysis is automatically generated for each of the inventory elements in the video game environment. A report may be generated based on the analysis of the inventory elements.
