Video Deduplication (Copyright Detection)

A duplicate video is a video that has the same content as another video but the two files do not have identical binary encodings (due to editing and/or transcoding). From the social networking perspective there is growing awareness that finding others who have done mashups or have performed simple multimedia modifications on the same data could be highly useful tools for connecting individuals to-gether or identifying piracy. We therefore develop acoustic algorithms to detect video duplicates in various conditions that complement state-of-the-art visual approaches.
