Abstract

We present an efficient and accurate method for duplicate video detection in a large database using video fingerprints. We have empirically chosen the color layout descriptor, a compact and robust frame-based descriptor, to create fingerprints which are further encoded by vector quantization (VQ). We propose a new nonmetric distance measure to find the similarity between the query and a database video fingerprint and experimentally show its superior performance over other distance measures for accurate duplicate detection. Efficient search cannot be performed for high-dimensional data using a nonmetric distance measure with existing indexing techniques. Therefore, we develop novel search algorithms based on precomputed distances and new dataset pruning techniques yielding practical retrieval times. We perform experiments with a database of 38 000 videos, worth 1600 h of content. For individual queries with an average duration of 60 s (about 50% of the average database video length), the duplicate video is retrieved in 0.032 s, on Intel Xeon with CPU 2.33 GHz, with a very high accuracy of 97.5%.
