Abstract
In a method for identification of an Internet meme, a plurality of sources is monitored for digital visual content comprising a visual moment and a caption. It is determined whether instances of digital visual content include a same visual moment. Provided the instances of digital visual content include the same visual moment, the instances of digital visual content including the same visual moment are identified as similar digital visual content. Each instance of the similar digital visual content is tracked. Provided a total number of instances of the similar digital visual content exceeds an Internet meme threshold, the similar digital visual content is identified as an Internet meme, wherein the same visual moment is a root visual moment and each caption corresponds to a different iteration of the Internet meme.
