Abstract: Example methods and apparatus to improve timestamp transition resolution of watermarks are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus is to determine an initial resolution for timestamp transitions based on a first number of time units between first ones of watermarks detected in media, and determine an updated resolution for the timestamp transitions based on a predicted timestamp transition window and a second number of time units between second ones of the watermarks detected in the media, the second ones of the watermarks to be subsequent to the first ones of the watermarks in the media, the predicted timestamp transition window associated with the initial resolution for timestamp transitions, the updated resolution for the timestamp transitions corresponding to a third number of time units, the third number of time units less than the second number of time units.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for associating different watermarks detected in media. An example method disclosed herein includes determining whether a first watermark detected in a media signal is represented in a watermark data structure and associating the first watermark with a first media presentation record associated with a second watermark in response to the first watermark being associated in the watermark data structure with the second watermark. The example method further includes transmitting monitoring data including the first media presentation record to an audience measurement entity.

Abstract: Example apparatus to improve timestamp transition resolution of watermarks are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus is to decode timestamps in respective ones of detected watermarks, estimate a first transition window indicative of a transition between a first time period to a second time period based on a first one of the timestamps and a second one of the timestamps, and when the first transition window does not satisfy a threshold, estimate a second transition window indicative of a transition between the second time period and a third time period based on the second one of the timestamps and a third one of the timestamps. The disclosed example apparatus is also to determine a first mapped transition window based on an intersection of the first transition window and the second transition window, and set the first mapped transition window as a reference time transition window for subsequent time periods.
