C()lor Dependent Computational Aesthetics for Evolving Expressions

چکیده
A well-known method for generating computer art is based on the paradigm of user-guided evolution, a method whereby "artists" interactively search through populations of images in order to select, and subsequently breed, those images which show aesthetic promise. This can be a time consuming endeavor, lacking well-defined principles for controlling evolution and for obtaining images with desired aesthetic characteristics. One way to improve upon this situation is to develop computational criteria for selecting images that conform to user specified aesthetics. We consider a non-interactive evolutionary method that contributes to this field of computational aesthetics by: (1) color segmenting the digital images that we breed so that their color organization can be used to influence aesthetic decision making, and (2) investigating mathematical models for assigning aesthetic fitness to images based on geometric quantities obtained following color segmentation. We provide examples of the aesthetic imagery we obtain.

On Aesthetics and Emotions in Images: A Computational Perspective
In this chapter, we discuss the problem of computational inference of aesthetics and emotions from images. We draw inspiration from diverse disciplines such as philosophy, photography, art, and psychology to define and understand the key concepts of aesthetics and emotions. We introduce the primary computational problems that the research community has been striving to solve and the computation...
متن کاملDefining Computational Aesthetics
This paper attempts to define the discipline of Computational Aesthetics in the context of computer science, partly reflecting the contributions and comprehensive discussions of the first EG Workshop on Computational Aesthetics in Graphics, Visualization and Imaging. It points out the current problem of "aesthetic pollution" as a side effect of computer aided design and gives motivation to impr...
متن کاملUltra fast, accurate PET image reconstruction for the Siemens hybrid MR/BrainPET scanner using raw LOR data
Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Jülich, Germany Fast PET image reconstruction algorithms usually use a Line-of-Response (LOR) preprocessing step where the detected raw LOR data are interpolated either to evenly spaced sinogram projection bins or alternatively to a generic projection space as for example proposed by the PET Reconstruction Software Toolkit (PRESTO) [1]. In this way, speed-optimise...
متن کاملComputational modeling predicts the ionic mechanism of late-onset responses in unipolar brush cells
Unipolar Brush Cells (UBCs) have been suggested to play a critical role in cerebellar functioning, yet the corresponding cellular mechanisms remain poorly understood. UBCs have recently been reported to generate, in addition to early-onset glutamate receptor-dependent synaptic responses, a late-onset response (LOR) composed of a slow depolarizing ramp followed by a spike burst (Locatelli et al....
متن کاملComputational and Experimental Approaches to Visual Aesthetics
Aesthetics has been the subject of long-standing debates by philosophers and psychologists alike. In psychology, it is generally agreed that aesthetic experience results from an interaction between perception, cognition, and emotion. By experimental means, this triad has been studied in the field of experimental aesthetics, which aims to gain a better understanding of how aesthetic experience r...
