This paper proposes two novel image similarity measures for fast indexing via locality
sensitive hashing. The similarity measures are applied and evaluated in the context of near …

This paper proposes and compares two novel schemes for near duplicate image and video-
shot detection. The first approach is based on global hierarchical colour histograms, using …

This paper presents a comprehensive molecular dynamics study on the effects of
nanocracks (a row of vacancies) on the fracture strength of graphene sheets at various …

Recently, video clips have become very popular online. The massive influx of video clips
has created an urgent need for video search engines to facilitate retrieving relevant clips …

This application is related to, and claims priority from, the following: US provisional patent
application No. 60/861, 686 filed on Nov. 29, 2006 by C. Podilchuk entitled “Method for …

Sequence matching techniques are effective for comparing two videos. However, existing
approaches suffer from demanding computational costs and thus are not scalable for large …

We describe a new system for searching video databases using free-hand sketched queries.
Our query sketches depict both object appearance and motion, and are annotated with …

Among the basic cognitive skills of the biological brain in humans and other mammals, a
fundamental one is the ability to recognize inexact patterns in a sequence of objects or …

Large scale video copy detection tasks require a compact and computational-efficient
descriptor that is robust to various transformations that are typically applied to generate …

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 …
