Abstract

An approach is provided for recognizing objects in media content. The capture manager determines to detect, at a device, one or more objects in a content stream. Next, the capture manager determines to capture one or more representations of the one or more objects in the content stream. Then, the capture manager associates the one or more representations with one or more instances of the content stream.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

determining to detect, at a device, one or more objects in a content stream;

determining to capture one or more representations of the one or more objects in the content stream; and

associating the one or more representations with one or more instances of the content stream.
