Abstract
A method and system are provided for assigning metadata candidates to a commercial by performing image analysis on a plurality of the video frames to identify video frames that include one or more of identifiable product-related logos, brand-related logos, product-related text, or brand-related text which appear in the video frames, capturing frame data for such video frames, calculating a persistence metric from the frame data for each of the identifiable product-related logos, brand-related logos, product-related text, or brand-related text, comparing the persistence metric for each of the identifiable product-related logos, brand-related logos, product-related text, or brand-related text to a predetermined threshold value, and assigning to the commercial, the identified products or brands as metadata candidates when the persistence metric exceeds the predetermined threshold value.
