IDENTIFYING ALTERED DIGITAL VIDEO CONTENT
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for identifying altered digital video content, the method comprising:
- accessing, at a computer system, a digital video content item;
identifying, at the computer system, a visually identifiable region within the digital video content item;
applying, at the computer system, a mask to the visually identifiable region of the digital video content item, wherein the mask blocks the visually identifiable region of the digital video content item;
comparing, at the computer system, the digital video content item with the mask to other digital video content items, wherein the comparing disregards the visually identifiable region according to the mask;
provided the digital video content is identified as similar to at least one other digital video content item, comparing, at the computer system, the visually identifiable region of the digital content video item to a visually identifiable region of the at least one other digital video content item; and
provided the visually identifiable region of the digital content video item does not match the visually identifiable region of the at least one other digital video content item, determining, at the computer system, that the digital video content item is altered.

Abstract
In a computer-implemented method for identifying altered digital video content, a digital video content item is accessed. A visually identifiable region is identified within the digital video content item. A mask is applied to the visually identifiable region of the digital video content item, wherein the mask blocks the visually identifiable region of the digital video content item. The digital video content item with the mask is compared to other digital video content items, wherein the comparing disregards the visually identifiable region according to the mask. Provided the digital video content is identified as similar to at least one other digital video content item, the visually identifiable region of the digital content video item is compared to a visually identifiable region of the at least one other digital video content item. Provided the visually identifiable region of the digital content video item does not match the visually identifiable region of the at least one other digital video content item, it is determined that the digital video content item is altered.

11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code stored thereon for causing a computer system to perform a method for identifying altered digital video content, the method comprising:
-
accessing a digital video content item; automatically identifying a facial region within the digital video content item using facial recognition; applying a mask to the facial region of the digital video content item, wherein the mask blocks the facial region of the digital video content item; comparing the digital video content item with the mask to other digital video content items, wherein the comparing disregards the facial region according to the mask; provided the digital video content is identified as similar to at least one other digital video content item, comparing the facial region of the digital content video item to a facial region of the at least one other digital video content item; and provided the facial region of the digital content video item does not match the facial region of the at least one other digital video content item, determining that the digital video content item is altered. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer system comprising:
-
a data storage unit; and a processor coupled with the data storage unit, the processor configured to; access a digital video content item; identify a visually identifiable region within the digital video content item; apply a mask to the visually identifiable region of the digital video content item, wherein the mask blocks the visually identifiable region of the digital video content item; compare the digital video content item with the mask to other digital video content items while disregarding the visually identifiable region according to the mask; provided the digital video content is identified as similar to at least one other digital video content item, compare the visually identifiable region of the digital content video item to a visually identifiable region of the at least one other digital video content item; and provided the visually identifiable region of the digital content video item does not match the visually identifiable region of the at least one other digital video content item, determine that the digital video content item is altered. - View Dependent Claims (20)
