Storyboard-Based Video Browsing Using C...

We present an interface for interactive video browsing where users visually skim storyboard representations of the files in search for known items (known-item search tasks) and textually described subjects, objects, or events (ad-hoc search tasks). Individual segments of the video are represented as a color-sorted storyboard that can be addressed via a color-index. Our storyboard representation is optimized for quick visual inspections considering results from our ongoing research. In addition, a concept based-search is used to filter out parts of the storyboard containing the related concept(s), thus complementing the human-based visual inspection with a semantic, content-based annotation.
