  • System, method and computer program product for video fingerprinting
    Patent number: 8761452
    Abstract: A method for fingerprinting a video involving identifying motion within the video and using a measure of the identified motion as a fingerprint. Once videos are fingerprinted, these fingerprints can be used in a method for identifying video. This involves creating a motion fingerprint for unidentified videos; comparing the fingerprints of the known and unknown videos, and identifying whether the unknown video is a copy of the known video based on the step of comparing.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 24, 2014
    Assignee: The University Court of the University of St. Andrews

  • Video fingerprinting
    Patent number: 8433108
    Abstract: A method for fingerprinting video comprising identifying motion in a video as a function of time; using the identified motion to create a motion fingerprint; identifying peaks and/or troughs in the motion fingerprint, and using these to create a reduced size points of interest motion fingerprint. Reduced size fingerprints for a plurality of known videos can be prepared and stored for later comparison with reduced size fingerprints for unknown videos, thereby providing a mechanism for identifying the unknown videos.
