I want to make a machine that allows the operator to automatically fast forward through TV ads, on live broadcast.
I'm certain I'm not the first one to entertain such an idea, but I just want to know if it would even be pheasable.
What hardware would be required? And what kind of software?
Most home video recorders have the ability to do this for prerecorded programs, and they've even made an algorithm to decide what's ads and what's not. But how could you take the next step, and make this technology work for live broadcasting?
The way I figure, all you would have to do is create an Ahead of time buffer to store the signal for a few frames. The TV signal is in Real Time so if you buffered the live signal by just a few seconds, it would give enough room for detection. You could pause the live signal, at least for a second or two. But then how to fast forward?
What if you were buffering the signal in large increments? 5 - 10 min at a time?
In other words create a delay from real-time, so that you could skip ahead 3-4 minutes of the video at any given moment?
Am I on some kind of track here?
