Abstract

A scalable and high performance near-duplicate image search method utilizing short hashes improves performance over existing methods. By leveraging the shortness of the hashes, the search algorithm analyzes the reliability of each bit of a hash and performs content adaptive hash lookups by adaptively adjusting the 'range' of each hash bit based on reliability. Matched features are post-processed to determine the final match results. The method can detect cropped, resized, print-scanned and re-encoded images and pieces from images among thousands of images.
