Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for synchronizing an unaligned audio stream and a corresponding unaligned video stream of real time streaming media. A non-limiting disclosed method comprises performing, using a video classifier, video reference point classification of a video stream based on an audio-video dataset; performing, using an audio classifier, audio reference point classification of the audio stream based on the audio-video dataset. The system correlates object related reference points in video segments of the video stream and in audio segments of the audio stream to identify a set of audio-video synchronization candidates. The system compares context of the set of audio-video synchronization candidates to identify an audio-video synchronization candidate to synchronize the audio stream and video stream based on reference point alignment.
