A Hierarchical Scheme for Rapid Video Copy Detection

Today with the rapid increasing popularity of web video sharing, digital copyright protection encounters many troubles. Video copy detection schemes are emerging to cope with the digital video piracy and illegal distribution problems. But the large amount of video data and diversity of copy attacks pose difficulties on copy detection. This paper presents a hierarchical scheme to detect video copies, especially the temporal attacked and re-encoded ones. Our algorithm which is based on the ordinal signature of intra frames and effective R*-tree indexing structure archives real time performance. Comparison experiments are conducted on the benchmarked database of CIVR 2007 copy detection showcase and demonstrate the promising results of the proposed approach.
