A radial visualization tool for depicting hierarchically structured video content

The visual analysis of video content is an important research topic due to the huge amount of video data that is generated every day. Annotating this data will become a major problem since the amount of videos further increases. With this work we introduce a system that combines a visualization tool with automatic video segmentation techniques and a characteristic key-frame extraction. A summary of the content of a whole video in one view is realized. Furthermore, the user can interactively browse through the video via our visualization interface to get more detailed information. The system is adapted to two application scenarios and a third application is discussed for future work.
