Claim Text:
1. A method for detecting a presence of a logo in a current picture of a video comprising: determining a current candidate logo bounding shape in said current picture and a preceding candidate logo bounding shape in a picture preceding said current picture; calculating a first score value based at least partially on whether a distance between a center of said current and said preceding candidate logo bounding shapes is below a first threshold or whether an overlap between said current and said preceding candidate logo bounding shapes is above a second threshold; calculating a second score value based at least partially on whether an overlap between the current candidate logo bounding shape and a saliency mask of the current picture is above a third threshold, wherein the saliency mask identifies regions around saliency peaks; and detecting the presence of a logo in the current picture based at least partially on a comparison of the first score value and the second score value.
