IEEE MULTIMEDIA (Special Issue)
Web-Scale Near-Duplicate Search: Techniques and Applications
=======================================================================
Submission Deadline: 29 June 2012
Publication Issue: July-September 2013
As bandwidth accessible to average users is increasing, audiovisual
material has become the fastest growing data type on the Internet. The
impressive growth of the social Web where users can exchange
user-generated content contributes to the overwhelming number of
multimedia files available. Among these huge volumes of data, there exist
large numbers of near-duplicates and copies. File copies are easy to
detect using hashes. Near-duplicates are based on the same original
content, but have been edited and postprocessed, resulting in different
files. Another type of near-duplicate relates to footage about the same
event or scene. The detection of near-duplicates poses a challenge to
multimedia content analysis, especially when speed, scale, and copied
fragment length are pushed to operational levels. Near-duplicates carry
both informative and redundant signals, for example, providing rich visual
clues for indexing and summarizing videos from different sources. On the
other hand, the excessive amount of near-duplicates makes browsing Web
videos streamed over Internet an extremely time-consuming task. As a
result, there is strong interest from industry, academia, and governmental
agencies in Web-scale search, elimination, detection, and use of
near-duplicates for various multimedia applications.
This special issue seeks innovative contributions dedicated to the theme
of Web-scale near-duplicate search. Topics of interests include, but are
not limited to, the following:
** Techniques and algorithms
- near-duplicate and/or partial near-duplicate detection;
- cross-media search of near-duplicates;
- semantic-based detection of near-duplicates;
- framework and algorithm for real-time near-duplicate detection;
- semantic indexing and hashing techniques;
- similarity and perception learning;
- multimedia fingerprint extraction; and
- instance search, matching, and localization.
**Applications
- search results ranking and diversification;
- novelty detection;
- topic detection, tracking, and threading;
- data-driven applications;
- Internet media management and service;
- Web-scale multimedia mining;
- Web-scale summarization and browsing of multimedia data; and
- multimedia archaeology mining.
