Video Content Indexing and Searching

A method of indexing and searching for video content is provided. For each frame of a first plurality of frames, a first global feature and a first plurality of local features may be identified. The first plurality of local features may be clustered around a first plurality of cluster centers. The first plurality of local features may be converted into a first plurality of binary signatures. An index that maps the first plurality of cluster centers and the first plurality of binary signatures to the first plurality of frames may be generated. A search request associated with a second video may be received and its direct and indirect features may be identified. The identified features of the second video may be compared against the index and a candidate video may be selected as a result of the search request.
