ABSTRACT

The booming of mobile devices and networks leads to an explosive growth in video resources. Efficient video research styles are appealing for facilely exploring video content appropriate to user's intention with a low cognitive load. The style of input becomes particularly relevant during the process of finding a target video clip in a large-scale database on tablets or other mobile devices. Some users have strong allegiance to input text, while others only input sketches. In this paper, we present the first systematic comparison of these two input styles and analyze the responses and feedbacks of users. An elaborated user study was conducted to test two different styles of inputting the semantics. Some users preferred to text input because it could describe their objective easily in a short time, yet some users also liked sketch because it helped illustrate the action or orientation clearly and immediately. Combining text with sketch ("sketch-text") is efficient for searching video of complex queries. The evaluation results show users' enjoying "sketch-text" and its higher performance than other input styles.
