Linking TV programs with Internet contents based on video fingerprinting

This paper proposes a system that provides TV/Internet converged services by linking video segments in TV programs with their related Internet contents without forcing any changes to TV contents. This system allows users to access the Internet contents related to the video clips currently played back. A robust video fingerprinting method is employed to link video segments with its related contents. Experimental results show that this system makes it possible to create those links fully automatically with no errors
