Patents by Inventor Martin Bateman

Martin Bateman has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • 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

  • 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.
