Abstract

Motivated by the increasing popularity of video on handheld devices and the resulting importance for effective video retrieval, this paper revisits the relevance of thumbnails in a mobile video retrieval setting. Our study indicates that users are quite able to handle and assess small thumbnails on a mobile's screen - especially with moving images - suggesting promising avenues for future research in design of mobile video retrieval interfaces.
