Assignee: GRACENOTE, INC.
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A method comprising: extracting, by a computing system, a sequence of audio features from a portion of a sequence of media content;
extracting, by the computing system, a sequence of video features from the portion of the sequence of media content; providing, by the computing system, the sequence of audio features and the sequence of video features as an input to a transition detector neural network, wherein the transition detector neural network is configured to classify whether or not a given input includes a transition between different content segments; obtaining, by the computing system, from the transition detector neural network classification data corresponding to the input;
determining, by the computing system, that the classification data is indicative of a transition between different content segments; based on determining that the classification data is indicative of a transition between different content segments, outputting, by the computing system, transition data indicating that the portion of the sequence of media content includes a transition between different content segments, wherein the transition data identifies a probable location of the transition within the portion of the sequence of media content;
obtaining secondary data identifying whether any frames within the portion of the sequence of media content are keyframes or black frames;
excluding any locations within the portion of the sequence of media content that are not within a threshold distance of either of a keyframe or a black frame from being considered a location of the transition within the portion of the sequence of media content; and
including one or more locations within the portion of the sequence of media content that are within the threshold distance of either of a keyframe or a black as being considered the location of the transition within the portion of the sequence of media content.
