Video copy detection based on source device characteristics: a complementary approach to content-based methods

We introduce a new video copy detection scheme to complement existing content-based techniques. The idea of our scheme is based on the fact that visual media possess unique characteristics that can be used to link a media to its source. Proposed scheme attempts to detect duplicate and modified copies of a video primarily based on peculiarities of imaging sensors rather than content characteristics only. We demonstrate the viability of our scheme by both analyzing its robustness against common video processing operations and evaluating its performance on real world data. Results show that proposed scheme is very effective and suitable for video copy detection application.
