Abstract
Digital image hash search techniques are described. These techniques leverage clusters formed from digital image hashes that overcome limitations and computational resource consumption of conventional clustering techniques used to implement a digital image search. In an example, search techniques employ two search stages. In a first stage, clusters are identified based on the cluster centers using a distance measure. The second stage involves a comparison of cluster hashes within the identified cluster with the search query hash until the distance measure is reached.
