Video Sequence Boundary Labeling with Temporal Coherence

We propose a method for video sequence boundary labeling which maintains the temporal coherence. The method is based on two ideas. We limit the movement of the label boxes only to the horizontal direction, and reserve free space for the movement of the label boxes in the label layout. The proposed method is able to position label boxes in video sequence on a lower number of rows than existing methods, while at the same time, it minimizes the movement of label boxes. We conducted an extensive user experiment where the proposed method was ranked the best for panorama video sequences labeling compared to three existing methods.
