AdMonitor
GARB APIATM (Advanced Processing and Image Analysis) platform is a state-of-the art solution that can be used for a multitude of applications across many industries. The current implementation is used for advertising and programming monitoring in the TV and media industry, however there are really no limitations on the possible applications. APIATM is successfully used on the Bulgarian market to monitor 35 TV channels 24/7 and produce results for all programming content and ad spots aired with minimal human factor involved.
At the core of APIATM lies the proprietary “fingerprinting” of video streams and subsequent matching of specific features or clips within the streams. The platform works in near real time, with configurable accuracy of up to 99% and linear hardware scalability, meaning that adding more video inputs requires only the addition of more recording devices and memory, not the redesign of the entire hardware. In this sense there is no limitation of the number of video streams that can be recorded or analyzed by APIATM.
