The World's Leading Image and Video Identification Technology, Built Into Your Product
Give your solution the ability to perform accurate image identification and video matching on any content — no matter how it has been modified — with our unique visual identification engine available as a drop-in API.
Unlock new product value with
visual content identification.
Every day, massive amounts of visual content pass through applications unidentified. Most platforms rely on fragile approaches like basic hashing, manual tagging, or unreliable metadata to process it.
But what if your application could actually see what it was processing? Adding a visual identification layer opens up a world of new features. Suddenly, your product can tell:
- Whether a specific video has appeared on your platform before
- Where a specific brand asset or logo has been shown
- If copyrighted or licensed content is in circulation
- Whether a live broadcast ran exactly as scheduled
These are not marginal upgrades — they are the foundation for entirely new revenue streams and competitive advantages.
With the Identification Engine, these capabilities are within reach for your team, without the technical investment of building this from scratch. World-leading visual identification, available as a simple drop-in API.
World-leading image and video identification
technology at production scale.
The Videntifier Identification Engine puts unique, battle-tested image identification and video identification technology directly in the hands of your development team — available as a simple API call.
At its core, the engine extracts hundreds of fine-grained visual fingerprints from images and video frames, matching them against an indexed database of known content with a level of accuracy and robustness that no conventional approach to content identification can match.
Engine capabilities
Any visual content indexed by the engine can be accurately identified whether it appears in an image, a video file, or a live broadcast stream.
Note: Visual identification is not the same as visual recognition. Recognition classifies what is in an image. The Identification Engine answers a different question entirely — which specific piece of content is this, and where has it appeared before?
Three steps from integration to identification.
Extract
Run the lightweight extraction binary against any image or video. It extracts hundreds of visual fingerprints in a fraction of a second. No raw content leaves the client — only the fingerprint data is transmitted.
Index
Insert fingerprints into the identification database via the API. Each piece of content receives a unique content ID and scene structure. The database scales to hundreds of thousands of hours of video and millions of images.
Identify
Query the API with any piece of content. The engine returns exact matches, partial matches, and scene-level timestamps within milliseconds — even against heavily modified material.
Put it to work in your domain.
The Identification Engine is a general-purpose capability layer. What it enables depends on the domain you operate in. If your product touches visual content in any of the following spaces, here is what integrating the engine makes possible.
Media & Streaming Platforms
Understand what content is on your platform — not just that it exists.
- Identify re-uploaded or pirated content at ingest, before it reaches your audience
- Detect re-uploads after content removal, even when the material has been re-encoded or modified
- Attribute user-generated clips back to their original licensed source automatically
- Automate content metadata and tagging at ingest without manual review
Broadcast & Broadcast Monitoring
Know what is actually airing — not just what was scheduled.
- Verify scheduled vs. actually-aired content automatically, with no manual monitoring
- Run automated video audits across broadcast feeds to detect schedule deviations instantly
- Correct EPG data in real time when schedule changes or unplanned substitutions occur
- Confirm ad placement and generate proof-of-delivery reports for advertisers
- Monitor rights-holder content across multiple feeds simultaneously
Advertising & Sponsorship
Replace manual clip review with automated exposure verification.
- Verify ad delivery across live and recorded broadcasts to the second
- Measure sponsorship and brand logo exposure at scale — logo detection API built directly into your reporting pipeline
- Audit influencer and partner content for contracted brand placement compliance
- Detect ad placement in unauthorised or brand-unsafe contexts
Rights Management & Content Protection
Detect unauthorised use of your content wherever it appears.
- Flag licensed content appearing outside contracted distribution windows or territories
- Monitor third-party platforms and services for unlicensed use of proprietary material — copyright detection software built into your product
- Detect confidential or proprietary content circulating in unauthorised channels
- Build evidence trails for rights enforcement actions automatically
Media Operations & Workflow
Automate the manual verification that slows your team down.
- Replace manual QA passes with automated delivered-vs-contracted content verification
- Identify and tag archive content automatically at ingest
- Detect duplicate and near-duplicate assets across large libraries
- Track asset versions across production and delivery pipelines without manual cross-referencing
Product & Platform Builders
Add world-class identification as a feature your product owns.
- Embed visual identification as a first-class feature in your own platform or product
- Add content matching, visual search, or rights-checking to any existing pipeline
- Surface identification results through your own API, dashboard, or workflow
- Differentiate your offering with a capability most competitors cannot easily replicate
Start building in days.
The Identification Engine integrates into existing systems via an HTTP API and a lightweight, statically compiled extraction binary with no external dependencies. There is no specialist infrastructure to set up and no lengthy onboarding process — most teams are up and running in days, not months.
The engine is available as a hosted API with API credentials, the fingerprint extraction binary, and full technical documentation provided on request.
