Claim 9:
10. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform a set of acts comprising:
applying a feature map network to an image to create a feature map, wherein the feature map comprises a grid of vectors characterizing at least one feature in the image;
applying a probability map network to the feature map to create a probability map assigning a probability to the at least one feature in the image, wherein the assigned probability corresponds to a likelihood that the at least one feature is an overlay;
determining that the assigned probability exceeds a threshold probability value; and
responsive to determining that the assigned probability exceeds the threshold probability value, (i) determining compliance with an advertising requirement, (ii) performing optical character recognition (OCR) on the at least one feature, (iii) determining a channel associated with the at least one feature, (iv) determining a show associated with the at least one feature, (v) determining a hyperlink associated with the at least one feature, or (vi) accessing a hyperlinked object associated with the at least one feature.
