1. A method of detecting a graphic, the method comprising:
obtaining one or more video frames of unknown media segment, wherein the unknown media segment is being displayed by a media device, and wherein at least one of the one or more video frames includes a graphic;
generating one or more cues using pixel data of the one or more video frames;
detecting the graphic by identifying one or more reference cues stored in a database that correspond to the one or more cues, wherein the one or more reference cues include a representation of the graphic;
identifying a media content stream associated with the unknown media segment based on detecting the graphic; and
facilitating a transmission of a particular media segment for presentation by the media device, wherein the particular media segment is selected based on identifying the media content stream of the unknown media segment, and wherein the particular media segment is contextually related to the unknown media segment.
