Systems, methods and apparatus for encoding or decoding a file format that stores one or more images are described. One example method includes performing a conversion between a visual media file and a bitstream of a visual media data according to a format rule, where the format rule specifies that a type of a sample entry determines whether decoding capability information network abstraction layer units are included in either the sample entry of a video track in the visual media file or in a sample of the video track and the sample entry of the video track in the visual media file.

Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content providing, searching and/or hosting systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework for performing automatic detection of surfaces in video frames resulting in the creation of a seamless in-video ad experience for viewing users. The disclosed framework operates by leveraging available surfaces in videos to show advertisements in compliance with publisher protection, compliance and policy in a fully automatic, end-to-end solution. The disclosed framework evidences a streamlined, automatic and computationally efficient process(es) that modifies digital content at the surface level within the frames of the content in compliance with the digital rights of the owners of the content being merged via the disclosed augmentation.

Methods and systems for calculating, storing, and allowing electronic searches for metadata associated with media titles. The metadata includes scores specific to each actor and each genre of a media title, where the scores indicate the degree to which an actor’s performance in that title corresponds to a particular genre. Electronic searches for particular actors’ performance in a specific genre thus return more accurate results that more correctly reflect how well the actors’ performances reflect that genre.

Systems and methods for managing the storage of content are described. A video stream may include a content identifier and content information relating to a boundary that may be used to facilitate recording of at least a portion of the video stream.

Techniques and systems are provided for generating media content. For example, a server computer can detect a trigger from a device located at a site. The trigger is associated with an event at the site. The server computer can obtain media segments of media captured by a plurality of media capture devices located at the site. At least one of the media segments corresponds to the detected trigger. The server computer can determine one or more quality metrics of a media segment based on a first motion of an object captured in the media segment and/or a second motion of a media capture device used to capture the media segment. A subset of media segments can be selected from the obtained media segments based on quality metrics determined for the obtained media segments. A collection of media segments including the subset of media segments can then be generated.

Devices, systems, and methods are provided for use in interpreting, converting, generating, embedding, presenting, storing and otherwise using mini-banner content. For at least one embodiment, a mini-banner content system may include a secondary content system element which executes non-transient computer executable instructions to configure: a content interpreter to interpret secondary content, identify aspect information, and output the aspect information; a content converter, which when receiving aspect information at least one of retrieves a first element corresponding to the aspect information and/or generates a second element corresponding to the aspect information, and generates a mini-banner content element based upon results of the retrieving operation and/or the generating operation.

In one example, a method performed by a processing system including at least one processor includes obtaining a first stream of audio and video data, wherein the first stream of audio and video data comprises a lower-resolution version of a second stream of audio and video data that is transmitted to a first user device over a content distribution network and encrypted using a high-bandwidth digital content protection protocol, performing an analysis technique on the first stream of audio and video data in order to extract audio and video artifacts which from which content of the first stream of audio and video data is inferred, deriving a signature marker from the audio and video artifacts, and sending the signature marker to the first user device.

The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for data visualization. The systems may perform the methods to obtain a video having a plurality of frames including a plurality of objects; identify a target object from the plurality of objects according to the plurality of frames; determine one or more track points of the target object, each of the one or more track points being corresponding to the target object in one of the plurality of frames; determine a first track of the target object based on the track points, the first track including at least one of the one or more track points of the target object; determine a second track of the target object based on the first track, the second track including at least one of the track points of the first track; generate a video analysis result by analyzing the second track; and visualize the video analysis result.

A computing system automatically detects, in a sequence of video frames, a video frame region that depicts a scoreboard. The video frames of the sequence depict image elements including (i) scoreboard image elements that are unchanging across the video frames of the sequence and (ii) other image elements that change across the video frames of the sequence. Given this, the computing system (a) receives the sequence, (b) engages in an edge-detection process to detect, in the video frames of the sequence, a set of edges of the depicted image elements, (c) identifies a subset of the detected set of edges based on each edge of the subset being unchanging across the video frames of the sequence, and (d) detects, based on the edges of the identified subset, the video frame region that depicts the scoreboard.

A method and an apparatus for retrieving teleplay content is disclosed. The method includes: generating basic summary information corresponding to each teleplay based on basic information of entities of each teleplay; generating episode summary information corresponding to each episode of each teleplay based on episode data of each episode of each teleplay; establishing a teleplay graph database based on the basic summary information corresponding to each teleplay and the episode summary information corresponding to each episode; and feeding a playing portal for a target episode of a target teleplay corresponding to teleplay search information back to a user based on the teleplay graph database.
