Combining User Tagging and Automatically Generated Storyboards for Digital Video Retrieval: An Exploratory Study
This is an exploratory study investigating the concept of combining social and automated digital video surrogates with the intention of improving user understanding and retrieval of video. Videos were shown to participants who were then asked to tag the videos according to two systems. The control group tagged videos in the traditional manner of tagging the whole video in one input form. The experimental group tagged a storyboard with multiple input forms corresponding to the storyboard. The findings of this study suggest that the implementation of a system that combines automatically generated storyboards with social tagging will significantly increase the number of tags that each user will add to a video. In all aspects of the results, there was significant increase in the amount of tags created in the storyboard system when compared to the traditional system of tagging an entire video. The results suggest that it is worth investigating in future work
