How Youtube ContentID performs video fingerprinting to identify copied video

I am trying to build a system exactly same as youtube contentID which will generate fingerprints of the video and will search the fingerprint in the database. I want to know what fingerprinting algorithm or method is used by Youtube ContentID to generate the fingerprints and compare the fingerprints and how it performs fingerprint searching in database

I don't think the exact algorithm is known. You could use scene detection and chunking to create bounded-size chunks of video and audio. Then, you could use locality sensitive hashing techniques to index these chunks, so that similar chunks receive identical hashes. However, this is not straightforward and subject to active research.
