The Family Video Archive: an annotation and browsing environment for home movies

Published:07 November 2003Publication History

ABSTRACT

We present the Family Video Archive as a tool to give consumers the ability to annotate and browse large collections of informal family movies. The informal nature of home movies makes it difficult to use fully-automated techniques for scene detection and annotation. Our system explores the symbiosis between automated and manual techniques for annotation. We also explore the use of a zooming interaction paradigm for browsing and filtering large collections of video scenes.
