Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method that comprises using at least one hardware processor to: receive a representation of one or more candidate objects in content of a digital media asset; for each of the one or more candidate objects, compare one or more features of the candidate object to one or more corresponding features of a plurality of reference objects, according to a first feature-matching algorithm defined by a first feature-matching software module, to identify one or more reference objects that match the candidate object; for each of the one or more candidate objects that is matched to one or more reference objects, generate a hotspot package, wherein the hotspot package comprises a visual overlay, and wherein the visual overlay comprises information associated with the one or more reference objects matched to the candidate object; receive a second feature-matching software module, defining a second feature-matching algorithm, via an interface; and, subsequently, compare one or more features of one or more other candidate objects to one or more corresponding features of a plurality of reference objects, according to the second feature-matching algorithm defined by the second feature-matching software module, instead of the first feature-matching algorithm defined by the first feature-matching software module.
