Systems and methods for recommending media assets based on objects captured in visual assets

A system for recommending media assets based on objects captured in visual assets, comprising:

• user input circuitry;
• and
• control circuitry configured to:
• receive a visual asset captured by a user device;
• determine a location associated with the visual asset;
• determine a location score for the location based on one or more of:
• a user travel score associated with the location determined by:
• retrieve a plurality of locations that the user has visited;
• calculate, for the plurality of locations, a plurality of distances each distance between the user's home location and the respective location that the user has visited;
• determine, based on the plurality of distances, a user travel radius;
• calculate a travel distance between the user's home location and the location associated with the visual asset;
• compare the user travel radius with the travel distance;
• and
• generate the user travel score for the location based on the difference in the user travel radius and the travel distance;
• a user travel frequency score associated with the location determined by:
• determine a number of times the user has visited the location during the current time period;
• determine whether the number of times the user has visited the location during the current time period exceeds a number of times the user has visited the location during a previous time period, by a first given amount;
• and
• in response to determining that the number of times the user has visited the location during the current time period exceeds the number of times the user has visited the location during the previous time period, by the first given amount, calculate the user travel frequency score for the location based on a difference value by which the number of times the user visited the location for the current time period exceeded the number of times the user visited the location for the previous time period;
• a popularity score associated with the location determined by:
• calculate an amount of metadata created in association with the location for the current time period;
• determine whether the amount of metadata created in association with the location for the current time period exceeds an amount of metadata created in association with the location for the previous time period by a second given amount;
• and
• in response to determining that the amount of metadata created in association with the location for the current time period exceeds the amount of metadata created in associated with the location for the previous time period by the second given amount, calculate the popularity score for the location based on a popularity value by which the amount of metadata created in association with the location for the current time period exceeds the amount of metadata created in association with the location for the previous time period;
• determine whether the location score exceeds a threshold;
• and
• in response to determining the location score exceeds the threshold:
• detect an object within the visual asset;
• and
• generate a recommendation of a media asset that is associated with the object.
