Indexing Tamper Resistant Features for Image Copy Detection
Peter Mork, Beitao Li, Edward Yi Chang, Junghoo Cho, Chen Li, James Z. Wang · 1999
In this paper we present the image copy detection service we have built. We call this service RIME, for Replicated IMage dEtector. Given an image registered by its creator or distributor, RIME checks if near-replicas of the image (i.e., copies of the image that may have gone through alterations) exist on the Internet and returns a list of suspect URLs. The core technologies that the RIME project develops are effective image characterization for copy detection, and efficient image indexing for finding images with similar characteristics.
