Abstract
Image browsing is necessary in numerous applications. Designers have
merely used two one-dimensional scroll bars or they have made ad hoc
designs for a two-dimensional scroll bar. However, the complexity of
two-dimensional browsing suggests that more careful analysis, design,
and evaluation might lead to significant improvements. We present a task
taxonomy for image browsing, suggest design features and guidelines,
assess existing strategies, and introduce an informal specification
technique to describe the browsers.
