A method and system for helping to facilitate fingerprint-based automatic content recognition when audio may be subject to dialog enhancement (DE). An example method includes, for each of multiple audio time segments, (a) a computing system generating alternate digital reference fingerprint data representing the audio time segment, including at least (i) non-DE reference fingerprint data representing the audio time segment without the audio time segment being dialog enhanced and (ii) DE reference fingerprint data representing the audio time segment with the audio time segment being dialog enhanced and (b) providing the generated alternate digital reference fingerprint data for storage in a reference-fingerprint library for use in fingerprint matching. Including the DE reference fingerprint data may help to facilitate more robust matching of query fingerprint data that represents dialog enhanced audio content.
A method to help facilitate audio fingerprint matching when rendered audio content may be subject to dialog enhancement (DE), the method comprising, for each of a plurality of audio time segments of a known media-content item:
A computing system comprising:
Non-transitory computer-readable data storage having stored thereon program instructions executable by at least one processor to carry out operations to help facilitate audio fingerprint matching when rendered audio content may be subject to dialog enhancement (DE), the operations comprising, for each of a plurality of audio time segments of a known media-content item:
