ViDupe-Duplicate Video Detection as a Service in Cloud

Detecting near-duplicate videos in the cloud is computationally intensive due to sheer number of videos and their large file sizes. To address this challenge, we propose to improve algorithm efficiency by enhancing and revising existing metadata and content comparison methods, and to enable public access by developing a web service. As a proof of concept, a duplicate video detection system called ViDupe is developed that can quickly scans user’s Google drive for duplicates.
