Abstract
Particular embodiments analyze logos found in a video program to determine video demarcations in the video program. For example, a video demarcation may be content that marks ('marker content') a transition from a first video content type to a second video content type. Marker content may be used so the user knows that a transition is occurring. Particular embodiments analyze the logos found in a video program to determine the video demarcations in the video. The video is first analyzed to determine logos in the video program. Once these logos are determined, particular embodiments may re-analyze the video program to identify marker frames that include the marker content that signal the transitions to a different video content types. The marker frames may be determined without any prior knowledge of the marker content. Then, particular embodiments may use the marker frames to determine video segments.
