  • Patent number: 11714847
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to detect unconfined view media. A disclosed apparatus includes means for generating a pixel map to generate a reference pixel map for media data; means for detecting a field of view to detect a field of view for a presentation of the media data; and means for determining a view edge to determine a first view edge based on the field of view and the reference pixel map and that the media data corresponds to unconfined view media based on the first view edge.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230119783
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to monitor a split screen media presentation. Example apparatus includes means for processing audio output from a media device to determine audio metering data to identify first media presented by the media device, means for generating one or more video signatures associated with video output from the media device, and means for identifying a first region-of-interest of a split screen presentation of the media device including the first media, the means for identifying to identify the first region-of-interest in response to a determination that the one or more generated video signatures do not match reference video signatures corresponding to the first media.

  • Patent number: 11532159
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to monitor a split screen media presentation. Example apparatus disclosed herein are to generate one or more video signatures associated with video output from a media device and determine whether the one or more video signatures correspond to first media identified based on audio output from the media device. Disclosed example apparatus are also to, in response to a determination that the one or more generated video signatures do not correspond to the first media, determine that the video corresponds to a split-screen presentation having a plurality of regions-of-interest, and identify a first one of the regions-of-interest of the split-screen presentation that includes the first media.

  • Patent number: 10839225
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to monitor a split screen media presentation. Example apparatus disclosed herein include an audio processor to process audio output from a media device to determine audio metering data to identify first media presented by the media device. Disclosed example apparatus also include a video signature generator to generate one or more video signatures associated with video output from the media device. Disclosed example apparatus further include a computer vision processor to identify a first region-of-interest of a split screen presentation of the media device including the first media in response to a determination that the one or more generated video signatures do not match reference video signatures corresponding to the first media.

  • Patent number: 10691741
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to detect unconfined view media. A disclosed apparatus includes a pixel map generator to generate, by executing an instruction with a processor, a reference pixel map for media data; a field of view detector to detect, by executing an instruction with the processor, a field of view for a presentation of the media data; and a view edge determiner to determine, by executing an instruction with the processor, a first view edge based on the field of view and the reference pixel map and that the media data corresponds to unconfined view media based on the first view edge.
