Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge lies in efficiently organizing and searching large-scale video databases on the internet for near-duplicate videos, as existing techniques are not well-equipped to handle web-scale data in real-time and require labor-intensive manual annotation.
Innovation Solution
The approach involves creating visual shingles from video images, converting them into binary representations, and grouping videos based on the appearances of these shingles, with histogram intersection calculations to determine similarities, enabling efficient indexing and retrieval of near-duplicate videos.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual annotation and organization of videos is performed, then video organization accuracy is improved, but labor intensity and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic video similarity detection and organization without human intervention. The computer automatically extracts visual features, creates binary representations, computes histogram intersections, and groups similar videos based on predefined thresholds, eliminating the need for manual annotation while maintaining high accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical annotation processes with automated computational methods. Visual feature extraction, binary representation generation, and similarity calculation are all performed through algorithmic processing rather than human labor, significantly reducing time consumption while preserving organization quality
2Reliability
If traditional near-duplicate video detection techniques are used, then photometric and geometric transformations are handled, but scalability to web-scale databases and real-time performance are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments videos into individual frames, extracts visual features from each frame, and represents them as separate binary vectors. This segmentation allows parallel processing of multiple frames and efficient aggregation into overall video representations, enabling scalable handling of large databases while maintaining transformation robustness
Solution Approach 2:
The system transforms continuous visual features into discrete binary representations through thresholding and quantization. This parameter change from continuous to discrete domain enables faster computation and more efficient storage, improving search speed while the binary representations preserve sufficient information to handle photometric and geometric transformations
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive video analysis is performed to ensure accurate similarity detection, then detection accuracy is improved, but computational complexity and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the most salient visual features from video frames using interest point detection and descriptor extraction. By focusing on key distinctive features rather than analyzing entire frames, the system achieves accurate similarity detection with reduced computational complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates simplified binary copies of visual features that preserve essential similarity information. These binary representations serve as compact proxies for the original continuous features, enabling fast comparison operations while maintaining detection accuracy through the preservation of relative feature relationships
Data Source
AI summary
A similarity of a first video to a second video may be identified automatically. Images are received from the videos, and divided into sub-images. The sub-images are evaluated based on a feature common to each of the sub-images. Binary representations of the images may be created based on the evaluation of the sub-images. A similarity of the first video to the second video may be determined based on a number of occurrences of a binary representation in the first video and the second video.
