A system configured to perform content recognition using fingerprinting to recognize known media content. A device determines fingerprints based on decoded content data to be sent using a media interface component to an output component. Metadata related to the content/device/fingerprint may also be created. The fingerprints and metadata are sent by the device to a supporting system for orchestration and matching of the fingerprints to known media content.

Content recognition using fingerprinting

A system configured to perform content identification using fingerprinting to recognize known media content. The system may generate a reference database including reference fingerprints for each media content item to include in the content identification. In addition, the system may generate a hash table that associates individual frames of the reference fingerprints with identification information for corresponding media content items. When a device is playing media content, the system may perform content identification by generating query fingerprints representing the media content and comparing the query fingerprints to the reference database. For example, the system may match a query fingerprint to a reference fingerprint by identifying which of the reference fingerprints shares the most frames with the query fingerprint using the hash table. In addition, the system may use additional decision criteria to confirm a match, such as fine-grain matching or tracking successive fingerprints over time.

Content identification using fingerprinting

Techniques for synthetic accuracy measurement of a content recognition system are described. According to some examples, a computer-implemented method includes generating, by a provider network, a reference fingerprint for a secondary content (e.g., advertisement) media file; generating, by the provider network, a synthetic fingerprint for a transformed version of the secondary content media file; inserting, by the provider network, the synthetic fingerprint into a stream of fingerprints of a plurality of media files; comparing, by a comparison service of the provider network, the stream of fingerprints including the synthetic fingerprint to the reference fingerprint to generate an indication of a match between the synthetic fingerprint and the reference fingerprint in the stream; and sending the indication of the match to a storage location.
