Tracking users' activities on the World Wide Web (WWW) allows researchers to\nanalyze each user's internet behavior as time passes and for the amount of time\nspent on a particular domain. This analysis can be used in research design, as\nresearchers may access to their participant's behaviors while browsing the web.\nWeb search behavior has been a subject of interest because of its real-world\napplications in marketing, digital advertisement, and identifying potential\nthreats online. In this paper, we present an image-processing based method to\nextract domains which are visited by a participant over multiple browsers\nduring a lab session. This method could provide another way to collect users'\nactivities during an online session given that the session recorder collected\nthe data. The method can also be used to collect the textual content of\nweb-pages that an individual visits for later analysis\n
