Abstract
A system and method for determining if a set of images in a large collection of images are near duplicates allows for improved management and retrieval of images. Images are processed, image signatures are generated for each image in the set of images, and the generated image signatures are compared. Detecting similarity between images can be used to cluster and rank images.
