Claim 0:
1. A method for identifying visually similar media content items from media content items that have been indicated as being candidate matches by being grouped together by identical first segment of a perceptual hash, in a key value database, the method comprising:
receiving a new media content item;
determining at least one perceptual hash for one or more video frames of the new media content item;
partitioning the at least one perceptual hash for the new media content item into segments including a first segment and a second segment;
identifying a group of potential match media content items for the new media content item by comparing the first segment of the at least one perceptual hash for the new media content item with the key value database;
comparing the perceptual hashes in the group of potential match media content items with the at least one perceptual hash for the new media content item; and
identifying a subset of the group of potential match media content items as matches for the new media content item, based on the comparison between the perceptual hashes of the group of potential match media content items with the at least one perceptual hash for the new media content item.
