Abstract
Systems and methods for replacing original media bookmarks of at least a portion of a digital media file with replacement bookmarks is described. A media fingerprint engine detects the location of the original fingerprints associated with the portion of the digital media file and a region analysis algorithm characterizes regions of media file spanning the location of the original bookmarks by data class types. The replacement bookmarks are associated with the data class types and are overwritten or otherwise are substituted for the original bookmarks. The replacement bookmarks then are subjected to a fingerprint matching algorithm that incorporates media timeline and media related metadata.
Claims7
A method for generating video fingerprints comprising:
- sharing timeline and metadata of an original digital media file including at least one of a video digital file and an audio digital file;
- identifying a region within the original media file;
- bookmarking the identified region with a fingerprinting algorithm;
- detecting bookmarked region of a duplicate of the original media file using the fingerprinting algorithm;
- and
- comparing the bookmarked region of the original media file to the bookmarked region of the duplicate, wherein detecting a bookmarked region includes selecting a frame group, examining for the presence of matchable characteristics in the frame group, applying a region algorithm to the frame group, removing repetitive occurrences of the matchable characteristics, and defining a path of the matchable characteristics within the frame group.
A computer-readable medium having executable instructions that, when executed by a processing device, enable the processing device to perform a method comprising the steps of:
- identifying a region within an original digital media file comprising at least one of a video digital file and an audio digital file;
- bookmarking the identified region with a fingerprinting algorithm;
- detecting a bookmarked region of a duplicate of the original digital media file using the fingerprinting algorithm;
- and
- comparing the bookmarked region of the original media file to the bookmarked region of the duplicate,
- wherein identifying a region within the original media file includes detecting matchable characteristics comprising at least one of a pixel luminescence value, a region of pixel luminescence values, an indicator of object motion, a change in sound volume, and a change in sound types, and
- wherein comparing the bookmarked region of the original media file to the bookmarked region of the duplicate includes determining a vector pathway between the matchable characteristics.
