Efficient Video Indexing on the Web : A System that Crowdsources User Interactions with a Video Player. Leftheriotis, I., Gkonela, C., & Chorianopoulos, K. In Alvarez, F. & Costa, C., editors, 2nd International ICST Conference on User Centric Media (UCMEDIA 2010), volume 60, of Lecture Notes of the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering, pages 123–131, Berlin, Heidelberg, jan, 2012. Springer Berlin Heidelberg. Paper Paper doi abstract bibtex In this paper, we propose a user-based video-indexing method, that automatically generates thumbnails of the most important scenes of an online video stream, by analyzing users' interactions with a web video player. As a test bench to verify our idea we have extended the YouTube video player into the VideoSkip system. In addition, VideoSkip uses a web-database (Google Application Engine) to keep a record of some important parameters, such as the timing of basic user actions (play, pause, skip). Moreover, we implemented an algorithm that selects representative thumbnails. Finally, we populated the system with data from an experiment with nine users. We found that the VideoSkip system indexes video content by leveraging implicit users interactions, such as pause and thirty seconds skip. Our early findings point toward improvements of the web video player and its thumbnail generation technique. The VideSkip system could compliment content-based algorithms, in order to achieve efficient video-indexing in difficult videos, such as lectures or sports.
