(Uses SIFT feature on keyframes. Uses LSH on the features and some heuristics to improve performance.)
- Roth el al., A Simple but Effective Approach to Video Copy Detection, in Proc. of Canadian Conference on Computer and Robot Vision (CRV), 2010. (Uses the count of the SURF features in each frame.)

- Hadoop: an open-source software for distributed computing. Employs MapReduce approach.
- WestGrid: a high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. Lots of computing and storage resources. We have access to it.
