Visual video browsing interfaces using key frames

The development of automatic key frame extraction techniques makes it possible to efficiently create compressed visual representations of digital motion picture documents. In order to support browsing motion picture document surrogates in retrieved sets or collections two studies have been conducted to explore static and animated slide show key frame presentation techniques. The two studies presented here explore: 1) number of multiple animated slide show displays; and 2) a comparison of animated slide show and static displays of key frames.
