Nikos Nikolaidis · IGI Global eBooks · 2009
Intellectual property rights protection and management of multimedia data is essential for the deployment of e-commerce systems involving transactions on such data. Lately, replica detection or fingerprinting has emerged as a promising approach for the rights management of multimedia data. In this chapter, a review of 2 replica detection techniques is presented. The first technique utilizes color-based descriptors, an R-tree indexing structure, and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to achieve image replica detection. The second technique is a video fingerprinting method that utilizes information about the appearances of individuals in videos along with an efficient search and matching strategy.
