Objects of interest are highlighted by rectangular shapes and then we concentrate on the manipulation of color, motion, and size. We conducted a controlled laboratory user study (nH.5.1 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]Multimedia Information SystemsEvaluation/methodologyI.3.m [Computer Graphics]MiscellaneousVideo visualizationI.3.3 [Computer Graphics]Picture/Image GenerationDisplay algorithms10.1111/cgf.12092
