ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for monitoring audio content in a video broadcast. According to the method, an audio datastream from the video broadcast is received, and audio identifying information is generated for audio content from the audio datastream. It is determined whether the audio identifying information generated for the received audio content matches audio identifying information in an audio content database. In one preferred embodiment, the audio identifying information is an audio feature signature that is based on audio content. Also provided is a system for monitoring audio content in a video broadcast.
