For effective market analysis and contract validation, various commercial tracker systems are employed. However, these systems mostly rely on heuristics and, since commercial broadcasting varies significantly, are often inaccurate. This paper proposes a commercial tracker system based on the Block Operator Context Scanning (Block-OCS) algorithm, which is both accurate and fast. The proposed method, similar to coarse-to-fine strategies, skips a large portion of the image sequences by focusing only on Regions of Interest. In this paper, a video matching algorithm is also proposed, which compares image sequences using time sliding windows of frames. Experimental results showed 100\% accuracy and 50\% speed increase compared to traditional block-based processing methods. rv:
