Abstract: A computing system automatically extracting, from a digital video frame, scoreboard information including a first team name, a second team name, a first score, and a second score. The computing system (a) detects, within the digital video frame, a plurality of frame regions based on each detected frame region depicting text; (b) selects, from the detected frame regions, a set of frame regions based on the frame regions of the selected set cooperatively having a geometric arrangement that corresponds with a candidate geometric arrangement of the scoreboard information; (c) recognizes characters respectively within each of the frame regions of the selected set of frame regions; (d) based at least on the recognized characters in the frame regions of the selected set, detects the scoreboard information; and (e) records the detected scoreboard information.

Abstract: A computing system determines accuracy of sport-related information extracted from a time sequence of digital video frames that represent a sport event, the extracted sport-related information including an attribute that changes over the time sequence. The computing system (a) detects, based on the extracted sport-related information, a pattern of change of the attribute over the time sequence and (b) makes a determination of whether the detected pattern is an expected pattern of change associated with the sport event. If the determination is that the detected pattern is the expected pattern, then, responsive to making the determination, the computing system takes a first action that corresponds to the sport-related information being accurate. Whereas, if the determination is that the detected pattern is not the expected pattern, then, responsive to making the determination, the computing system takes a second action that corresponds to the sport-related information being inaccurate.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting malicious or potentially malicious script data are provided. Script data is extracted from a data stream at the network level and emulated in a controlled environment. Based upon a comparison of features extracted from emulation of the script to a set of heuristics, malicious script data can be identified for further analysis or processing.
