Abstract
A system and method for identifying media segments using audio augmented image cross-comparisoning is disclosed, in which a media segment identifying system analyzes both audio and video content, producing a unique identifier to compare with previously identified media segments in a media segment database. The characteristic landmark-linked-image-comparisones are constructed by first identifying pairs of audio landmarks separated by a characteristic, or landmark, time. Digital images associated the audio landmarks are then image comparisoned, with the combination providing a characteristic landmark-linked-image-comparison. The audio landmarks are audio peaks that exceed predetermined thresholds. A landmark-time is the time between adjacent pairs of audio peaks. The pair of images associated with the audio peaks are reduced in pixel size and converted to gray scale. Corresponding pixels are compared to form a numeric comparison. One image may be mirrored before comparison to reduce the possibility of null comparisones.
