Philips Scans for Pirated Web Video
By Todd Spangler -- Multichannel News, 12/14/2006 12:22:00 PM
Philips Content Identification, a unit of Philips Electronics, introduced MediaHedge Thursday, a service designed to automatically flag copyrighted videos that have been uploaded to a video-sharing site or peer-to-peer network.
MediaHedge matches the “fingerprint” of user-uploaded video snippets with a master database of video provided by content owners. The videos can then either be blocked or tracked, depending on the copyright owner’s wishes.
According to Philips Content Identification, the system can identify video even when it is severely degraded and can match very short video clips anywhere within original video material.
The Los Angeles-based unit didn’t announce any customers for the service, nor did it name any content owners that were participating in MediaHedge.
