Abstract

A storyboard is a grid-like arrangement of images, or key-frames of videos, that is commonly used to browse image or video collections or to present results of a query in an image or video retrieval tool. We investigate alternatives to the commonly used scroll-based 2D storyboard for the task of browsing a large set of images. Through a user study with 28 participants we evaluate three different kinds of storyboards in terms of visual search performance and user satisfaction. Our results show that a 3D cylindrical visualization of a storyboard is a promising alternative to the conventional scroll-based storyboard.
