Here, the query is itself a video. For the similarity measurement, exemplars, or representative frames in each video, are extracted by unsupervised learning. For this learning, we chose the order-aware competitive learning. After obtaining a set of exemplars for each video, the similarity is computed. Because the numbers and positions of the exemplars are different in each video, we use a similarity computing method called M-distance, which generalizes existing global and local alignment methods using followers to the exemplars. To represent each frame in the video, this paper emphasizes the Frame Signature of the ISO/IEC standard so that the total system, along with its graphical user interface, becomes practical. Experiments on the detection of inserted plagiaristic scenes showed excellent precision-recall curves, with precision values very close to 1. Thus, the proposed system can work as a plagiarism detector for videos. In addition, this method can be regarded as the structuring of unstructured data via numerical labeling by exemplars. Finally, further sophistication of this labeling is discussed.展开更多
