1. A computing system comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by the processor, cause performance of a set of operations comprising:
detecting publication of on-demand media;
generating, in response to detection of the publication of the on-demand media, one or more reference signatures for the on-demand media;
collecting reference metadata associated with the on-demand media;
generating a reference profile for the on-demand media, wherein the reference profile comprises including the one or more reference signatures and the reference metadata;
populating a reference library with the reference profile for the on-demand media;
collecting a first sample signature generated at a media presentation environment;
collecting a second sample signature generated at the media presentation environment;
determining that the second sample signature is consecutive to the first sample signature;
determining an exposure for the on-demand media based on a match between the first sample signature and the one or more reference signatures and the second sample signature and the one or more reference signatures;
and
outputting a report including the exposure of the on-demand media.
