Title: Player identification system and method
Inventor: PAUL TERENCE MULLIGAN
IPC: A63F13/86
Filed: 2018-12-14
Abstract: Method for identifying players from video comprising: a video content analysis unit 510; a player name identification unit 520; and a data generation unit 530. The video may be a recording of a video game and the source (e.g. game name) of the video identified therefrom 500. The player name identification unit may perform optical character recognition (OCR) on video frames to identify character strings to be recognised as player names (Fig. 2). The OCR process may be run on certain video regions selected depending on the video content. The character strings may be recognised as player names based upon one or more of: whether the character strings form a sentence; the number of characters; the identity of characters; the characters’ font; the characters’ location in the video frames; an association with another phrase or character string; and the duration the characters are displayed in the video. The player name identification unit may use a machine learning algorithm. Identified player names may be matched to a database of player profiles and generated data, such as video content or player statistics, is associated therewith as metadata. A reduced database of profiles may be used in accordance with video content and/or player profiles.
