The Visual Storytelling Dataset (VIST) consists of 210,819 unique photos and 50,000 stories. The images were collected from albums on Flickr. The albums included 10 to 50 images and all the images in an album are taken in a 48-hour span. The stories were created by workers on Amazon Mechanical Turk, where the workers were instructed to choose five images from the album and write a story about them. Every story has five sentences, and every sentence is paired with its appropriate image. The dataset is split into 3 subsets, a training set (80%), a validation set (10%) and a test set (10%). All the words and interpunction signs in the stories are separated by a space character and all the location names are replaced with the word location. All the names of people are replaced with the words male or female depending on the gender of the person.

A new dataset describing textual stories for events.

The Creative Visual Storytelling Anthology is a collection of 100 author responses to an improved creative visual storytelling exercise over a sequence of three images. Each item contains four facet entries, corresponding to Entity, Scene, Narrative, and Title.

The Creative Visual Storytelling Anthology was collected on Amazon Mechanical Turk. Five different authors performed the task for 20 different Flickr and Search-and-Rescue image-sets ( a sequence of 3 images) for a total of 100 items in the anthology. There are 300 unique Entity and Scene entries (single-image facets completed for each image), 200 unique Narrative entries (multi-image facets performed twice with two and then three images), and 100 unique Title entries (multi-image facets completed for three images). Thus, with each one assigned a title, there are 100 unique stories in the anthology all together.

One set of images used in collecting the anthology originated from Flickr, under Creative Commons Licenses. We chose a subset of Huang et al’s VIST dataset and downselected their image sequences from five to three images to scaffold the Aristotelian dramatic structure. We do not release the Flickr images in order to track the providence of the images. The Flickr images' authors and copyright information and usage are documented in the Flickr imageset license spreadsheet.

The second source of images came from a Search and Rescue (SAR) scenario. We selected three images in-order from experimental runs from a human-robot collaboration task, and similar sequential images were excluded for sake of diversity. The SAR images can be obtained through the SCOUT (The Situated Corpus of Understanding Transactions) dataset.

Visual storytelling refers to the manner of describing a set of images rather than a single image, also known as multi-image captioning. Visual Storytelling Task (VST) takes a set of images as input and aims to generate a coherent story relevant to the input images. In this dataset, we bridge the gap and present a new dataset for expressive and coherent story creation. We present the Sequential Storytelling Image Dataset (SSID), consisting of open-source video frames accompanied by story-like annotations. In addition, we provide four annotations (i.e., stories) for each set of five images. The image sets are collected manually from publicly available videos in three domains: documentaries, lifestyle, and movies, and then annotated manually using Amazon Mechanical Turk. In summary, SSID dataset is comprised of 17,365 images, which resulted in a total of 3,473 unique sets of five images. Each set of images is associated with four ground truths, resulting in a total of 13,892 unique ground truths (i.e., written stories). And each ground truth is composed of five connected sentences written in the form of a story.

This version of the Bloom Library data is developed specifically for the Visual Story Telling (VIST) task. It includes data from 363 languages across 36 language families, with many of the languages represented being extremely low resourced languages.

Exploring visual storytelling is a book. It was written by Brian Arnold and published by Thomson Delmar Learning in 2007.

Video Storytelling is a dataset for generating text story/summarization for videos containing social events. It consists of 105 videos from four categories: birthday, camping, Christmas and wedding. For each video, we provide at least 5 human-written stories.

• Videos are contained in the .tar file with their corresponding category name.
• Text stories are contained in Text.tar.
• In each txt file, the first line is the video id. The start and end time (in seconds) of each sentence is also given.
• test_id.txt provides the id for videos in the test set

In visual narratives like comics, the most overt form of perspective-taking comes in panels that directly depict the viewpoints of characters in the scene. We therefore examined these subjective viewpoint panels (also known as point-of-view panels) in a corpus of over 300 annotated comics from Asia, Europe, and the United States. In line with predictions that Japanese manga use a more “subjective” storytelling style than other comics, we found that more manga use subjective panels than other comics, with high proportions of subjective panels also found in Chinese, French, and American comics. In addition, panels with more “focal” framing, i.e. micro panels showing close ups and/or amorphic panels showing views of the environment, had higher proportions of subjective panels than panels showing wider views of scenes. These findings further show that empirical corpus analyses provide evidence of cross-cultural variation and reveal relationships across structures in the visual languages of comics.

Visual Content Market Outlook

The global visual content market size was valued at approximately USD 38 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach around USD 72 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1% during the forecast period. This remarkable growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for engaging and interactive content across various platforms and the proliferation of digital channels. As businesses and content creators strive to capture the attention of increasingly distracted audiences, the importance of visual storytelling has never been more pronounced. Key growth factors include advances in digital technology, the rise of social media platforms, and an increasing preference for video content among consumers.

One of the primary growth drivers for the visual content market is the rapid technological advancements in digital imaging and video creation. With the advent of high-resolution cameras, drones, and sophisticated editing software, the quality of visual content has significantly improved, enabling creators to produce stunning visuals that captivate audiences. Additionally, the increasing penetration of smartphones and internet connectivity has democratized access to visual content creation tools, allowing anyone with a smartphone to create high-quality visual content. This democratization has led to an explosion of user-generated content, further fueling the demand for platforms and services that can manage, distribute, and monetize this content effectively.

The rise of social media as a dominant force in communication and marketing has also played a crucial role in propelling the visual content market. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube have become indispensable tools for brands aiming to reach a younger, more visually-oriented audience. These platforms thrive on visual content, and their algorithms often prioritize such content over text-based posts. In response, brands and businesses are increasingly investing in the creation of visual content to enhance their digital presence and engage with their audience more effectively. This shift towards visual-centric content strategies has created a burgeoning demand for both professional content creators and digital marketing specialists skilled in visual storytelling.

The increasing importance of visual content in e-learning and remote education is another factor contributing to market growth. As educational institutions and corporate training programs pivot towards online platforms, there is a growing need for engaging educational content that can be accessed remotely. Visual content, such as infographics, video lectures, and interactive presentations, has proven to be highly effective in capturing learners' attention and enhancing comprehension. This trend is expected to continue, especially with the ongoing digital transformation in education and corporate sectors. As a result, there is a significant opportunity for educational content creators and technology providers to expand their offerings in this space.

Digital Video Content has emerged as a cornerstone of the visual content market, significantly influencing the way audiences consume media. With the increasing availability of high-speed internet and the proliferation of smart devices, digital video content is more accessible than ever, reaching audiences across the globe. This accessibility has led to a surge in video consumption, with platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and streaming services becoming central to entertainment and information sharing. As consumers increasingly prefer video over other forms of content, businesses and creators are investing heavily in producing high-quality digital video content to capture and retain viewer attention. This trend is further amplified by the integration of interactive elements and personalized experiences, enhancing engagement and driving the evolution of video content strategies.

Regionally, North America remains a significant player in the visual content market, driven by a robust media and entertainment industry, high internet penetration, and a mature digital landscape. However, Asia Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period, driven by the rapid adoption of digital technologies, increasing internet users, and a burgeoning middle class with rising disposable incomes. Countries like China and India are at the forefront of this growth, with their large populations and fast-growing digital ecosystems. In Europe, the market is driven by the demand for high-quality content in adve
