Maximizing Image Viewing Efficiency: How Visual Sorting Can Help
TLDR: In January 2022, we – the Visual Computing Group at HTW Berlin – conducted an experiment to evaluate image sorting. It was shown that images in sorted arrangements are found much more quickly. Our new measure for evaluating image sorting proved to be significantly better than those usually used to describe the perceived sorting quality by humans. Additionally, our proposed sorting methods were able to generate high-quality image sorting much more efficiently compared to other methods.
More than 2000 participants took part in our experiment, and we would like to thank them again here. The published article (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cgf.14718) on the results of the experiment may be difficult to understand for non-specialists. Therefore, we will attempt to summarize the motivation, implementation, and results of the experiment in an understandable way here.
