Solving Time Puzzles

I invite you to solve a new kind of puzzle with me which I call "Temporal Puzzles". Just like jigsaw puzzles where pieces of an image are shuffled, in Temporal Puzzles, frames of a video are shuffled and you are asked to sort them such that the final sequence is in correct temporal order. Say it is a skiing video or a video of an ocean wave, the critical question is, how would one develop an algorithm to solve such problems? Set a side difficulty of solving, what might be a plausible goal and how to formulate it?

In my presentation, I will briefly share my intuition to solve above problems. Starting from a fairly universal principle, I will share with you my simple plausible approach to formulate Time Puzzles and some insights about a practical solution. I will also touch upon two direct applications of proposed intuition and solution, namely crowd photography sequencing and similar object tracking.
