摘要

In recent years internet is touching almost every corner of our life, and TV is no exception. First, a new generation of Smart TVs has been introduced. Second, applications running on mobile devices (so called "second-screen apps") have significantly enriched TV watching experience. As an enabler of content-aware TVs and apps, automatic content recognition (ACR) is attracting a lot of attention recently. This paper presents an overview of ACR in this context. It attempts to answer a number of questions: Why do we need ACR for the next generation TV experience? What is the relationship between ACR and existing technologies? What are the unique requirements and challenges on ACR in those applications? What are the typical implementation architectures? It also describes the existing products in this space.
