Abstract : In this paper, we propose a novel system, named Video Booklet, which enables efficient and nature personal video browsing and searching. In the system, selected thumbnails of video segments are printed out on a real booklet or album. When users plan to browse the content of their digital video library, they can firstly browse their booklets in a manner as browsing an ordinary papery family album. When he wants to watch the segment indicated by a certain thumbnail in the booklet, he is able to use his camera phone to capture the corresponding thumbnail. Then the captured image is sent to the computer or other device connected to the monitor via wireless network, and then the Video Booklet system will automatically find the corresponding segment in the video library for the user and begin to play the segment. Video Booklet builds a seamless bridge between digital media library and analog papery albums.
