Claim One:
1. A method of identifying the position of a desired non-distinctive object in a digital video which comprises: a) analyzing the video, by intermittent frames, to identify a physical scene or content change and wherein such change occurs between a first frame marker and a second frame marker, said frame markers not necessarily being directly sequential; b) identifying an item within one frame marker or between the first frame marker and the second frame marker which exhibits identifiable stability as a framed item; c) increasing granularity of analysis of the frame content between the first frame and the second frame, comprising the framed item, by removing one or both of i) extraneous sections of the frame content; and ii) frame perimeters, thereby forming a targeted frame content; d) identifying one or more dominant features within the targeted frame content using surface analysis, thereby identifying one or more dominant objects; e) for at least one of the dominant objects, normalizing a shape of the dominant object and identifying a number of edges of the dominant object; f) dissecting the dominant object into at least two equally sized sections; g) analyzing at least one section to identify a shape and characteristics of the at least one section thereby creating section data; h) applying geometric modeling such that section data from analyzed section is used to determine overall shape, facets and configuration of the dominant object, thereby forming a geometric model; i) comparing the geometric model to a known reference database of reference objects like the non-distinctive object; and j) assessing the probability that the geometric model so formed represents the non-distinctive object.
