Discrimination of media moments and media intervals: sticker-based watch-and-comment annotation

Abstract

In this paper we discuss the problem of how to discriminate moments of interest on videos or live broadcast shows. The primary contribution is a system which allows users to personalize their programs with previously created media stickers—pieces of content that may be temporarily attached to the original video. We present the system’s architecture and implementation, which offer users operators to transparently annotate videos while watching them. We offered a soccer fan the opportunity to add stickers to the video while watching a live match: the user reported both enjoying and being comfortable using the stickers during the match—relevant results even though the experience was not fully representative.
