Abstract

This paper analyzes the interests of users in viewing and organizing consumer videos. It proposes a taxon-omy of relevant concepts with three basic Dimensions Of Interest (DOIs) and effective models to predict the user interest in each dimension. The three DOIs corre-spond to the objects, the scenes and the events. Our conclusions are backed with an extensive study, in which users were asked to annotate and score the im-portance of each DOI in short clips of diverse and real consumer videos. Analysis of the user study data re-veals high consistency (70%) of the scores across dif-ferent users, higher importance of objects and events, and independence between objects and events. In addi-tion, we show how heuristic rules and neural networks can accurately predict these scores using camera mo-tion, foreground object and audio information. The automatic and effective prediction of user interests has the potential for improving automatic applications for annotating and summarizing consumer videos, among others
