Abstract
Professional video searchers typically have to search for particular video fragments in a vast video archive that contains many hours of video data Without having the right video archive exploration tools this is a difficult and time consuming task that induces hours of video skimming We propose the video archive explorer a video exploration tool that provides visual representations of automatically detected concepts to facilitate individual and collaborative video search tasks This video archive explorer is developed by employing a usercentred methodology which ensures that the tool is more likely to fit to the end user needs A qualitative evaluation with professional video searchers shows that the combination of automatic video indexing interactive visualisations and usercentred design can result in an increased usability user satisfaction and productivityThis research was supported by the IWT Project AMASS+ + SBO060051 We would like to thank all members of the AMASS+ + user committee for their feedback about the results discussed during the halfyearly user committee meetings Special thanks to the Flemish broadcasting company VRT to contribute to the user studies Grateful acknowledgement is given to Koen Deschacht Wim De Smet Scott Martens Ineke Schuurman Vincent Vandeghinste Frank Van Eynde and Luc Van Gool Furthermore we would like to thank Jimmy Cleuren for his contribution to the highfidelity prototypes and Karel Robert for the graphic design of the user interface
