Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a media file analyzer configured to analyze visual media files of travelling object vortices and non-travelling object vortices;
a vortex similarity engine comprising:
a graphic recognition algorithm configured to generate graphic elements from the visual media files;
an element profile generator configured to:
identify an element in common amongst the visual media files; and
generate an element similarity profile by:
identifying a graphic property that some of the travelling object vortex visual media files share;
identifying a graphic property that some of the non-travelling object vortex visual media files share;
identifying a graphic property that some of the visual media files do not share;
identifying a graphic property that some of the non-travelling object visual media files do not share;

said vortex similarity engine configured to:
receive an unclassified visual media file;
compare the unclassified visual media file with the element similarity profile;
determine a travelling object vortex similarity ratio to indicate whether the visual media files depict a travelling object vortex;

a visual media file classifier configured to classify the visual media files as a travelling object vortex or not travelling object vortex based on the travelling object vortex similarity ratio of the visual media file; and
an alert generator configured to generate an alert if the visual media file classifier determines the received unclassified visual media files contain a travelling object vortex.
