title = "A Preliminary Examination of the User Behavior in Queryby-Drawing Portrait Painting Search on Mobile Devices",
abstract = "Although many researchers have studied the user behavior of using text-based information search engine, less is known about search pattern for mobile content-based image search. We developed a Query-by-Drawing (QbD) mobile application, and conducted a user study on it to explore the search behavior of painting search by drawing on the touchscreen phone. Based on the resulting drawings and video-logs of drawing procedures on three task conditions, we analyzed the patterns of query formulation and query modification. We further examined the effects of user characteristic and task type on the search strategy when using our mobile application. The results elicited some guidelines for mobile QbD image search interface design and informed the potential improvements of our application.",
