Abstract

Systems and methods for identifying and searching video are disclosed. A video search and identification system includes a catalog representing relationships between video, data and/or objects to enable querying and search based on visual representations of video as well as data or other information associated with the video. In one example, the catalog includes video nodes, metadata nodes and card nodes, although additional or fewer node types may be used. A visual-based video identification system is provided to identify content in video sources. An unidentified video source is accessed and visual fingerprints of one or more frames are generated as query signatures for matching against a base set of known signatures. Confidence measures are generated at the bit level to assist in query signature processing.
