Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to detect spillover are disclosed. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, instructions in the apparatus, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to: identify a quantity of first durations of loudness in an audio signal of media; calculate a ratio of the quantity of the first durations of loudness to a quantity of second durations of loudness in the audio signal of the media, the quantity of the second durations of loudness including the quantity of the first durations of loudness; and in response to a detection of the audio signal being spillover, store data denoting the media as un-usable to credit a media exposure when the ratio does not satisfy a loudness ratio threshold, the storing of the data to improve an accuracy of media exposure credits by not crediting spillover media.
