The proposed method consists of a coarse matching stage and a duplication verification step. In the coarse matching stage, visually similar frame sequences are preclustered by locality-sensitive hashing and considered as potential duplication candidates. These candidates are further checked by a duplication verification step. Being different from the existing methods, our duplication verification does not rely on a fixed distance (or correlation) threshold to judge whether two frames are identical. We resorted to image registration, which is intrinsically a global optimal matching process, to determine whether two frames coincide with each other. We integrated the stability information into the registration objective function to make the registration process more robust for degraded videos. To test the performance of the proposed method, we created a dataset, which consists of 3 subsets of different kinds of degradation and 117 forged videos in total. The experimental results show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods for most cases in our dataset and exhibits outstanding robustness under different conditions. Thanks to the coarse-to-fine strategy, the running time of the proposed method is also quite competitive.
