  • Audio and video matching using a hybrid of fingerprinting and content based classification
    Patent number: 9659014
    Abstract: Aspects relate to determining whether a probe media content matches one or more reference media content. The reference media content is classified into a content class. The probe media content could also be classified into a content class. Similarities between the probe media content and the reference media content are identified. A matching score given to the probe media content is weighted based on statistics regarding matches and false-positive rates for the content class of the reference media content. Further, classifiers can be trained on computed audio features and video features and/or video metadata and audio metadata of various media content.
