Abstract

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a device having a controller programmed to detect an object within an image of a first occurrence of a repetitive portion of a video program. The object is modified based on instructions, resulting in an updated object, and another portion of the image of the repetitive portion is left unmodified, resulting in a first modified repetitive portion of the video program. The object is detected within an image of subsequent instances of the repetitive portion of the video program and modified each time differently from the updated object and from subsequent modifications of the object, while maintaining the another portion of the image unmodified. Other embodiments are disclosed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A device comprising:
a processing system including a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
identifying a first object of interest of a plurality of objects of interest based on a descriptor file that identifies the plurality of objects of interest;
detecting the first object of interest within an occurrence of a repetitive portion of a v…
