Scalable near identical image and shot detection

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 Locality Sensitive Hashing for fast retrieval. The second approach uses local feature descriptors (SIFT) and for retrieval exploits techniques used in the information retrieval community to compute approximate set intersections between documents using a min-Hash algorithm.
