Abstract

The explosive growth of information technology and digital content industry stimulates various video applications over the Internet. Since it is quite easy to copy, reformat, modify and republish video files on the websites, similarity/duplicate detection and measurement is essential to identify the excessive content duplication, so as to facilitate effective video search and intelligence propriety protection as well. In this paper, we propose a novel signature-based approach for duplicate video comparison. The so-called video histogram scheme counts the numbers of video’s frames that are closest to a set of representative seed vectors chosen from the feature space of the training data set in advance. Then all the numbers are normalized to generate the signature of the video for further comparison. As our signature is a compact fixed-size vector with low dimension for each video, it requires less storage and computation cost than previous methods. The experiments show that our approach is both efficient and effective for web video duplicate detection.
