The huge amount of redundant multimedia data, like video, has become a problem in terms of both space and copyright. Usually, the methods for identifying near-duplicate videos are neither adequate nor scalable to find pairs of similar videos. Similarity self-join operation could be an alternative to solve this problem in which all similar pairs of elements from a video dataset are retrieved. Nonetheless, methods for similarity self-join have poor performance when applied to high-dimensional data. In this work, we propose a new approximate method to compute similarity self-join in sub-quadratic time in order to solve the near-duplicate video detection problem. Our strategy is based on clustering techniques to find out groups of videos which are similar to each other.
