Videocites Overview
Videocites is a cloud-based SaaS platform for video-by-video searching and video-citation monitoring. Its system enables the location, tracking, and increased monetization of videos across the web, creating a first-of-its-kind marketplace for content owners, creators, and developers. The companys video-by-video search engine utilizes a novel technology that recognizes each video frame by an ultra-lightweight fingerprint, allowing fast and accurate retrieval of duplicates or parts of an original video across video-sharing websites. Videocites defines these search results as Video Citations. Videocites machine-learning algorithms facilitate the identification of identical video clips even if they are displayed in different modalities (e.g. with differences in quality, aspect ratio, color, size, rolling, flipping, subtitles, etc.) or only a few frames long.
