چکیده
Aesthetic judgment is one of the most valued human characteristics, being regarded as a remarkable display of intelligence. Popular knowledge tells us that it is purely cultural. In this paper, we present a brief theory according to which aesthetics depends on biological and cultural issues, namely on visual image processing. We present an implementation of this theory and the experimental results achieved. The tests were made with two purposes in mind, validating the theory and using it as a basis for the automatic generation and evaluation of images.

متن کاملExploring Multiple Visualization Perspectives with Aesthetic Computing
The task of visualization, as it applies to computing, includes by default the notion of pluralism and perspectivism since there is an explicit attempt at representing one, often textual, interface in terms of a more graphical one. This desire for alternate perspectives is consistent with art theory and practice, and even though rigor and formalism generally mean different things to artists and...

From this perspective, aesthetics is seen as a broader phenomenon that encompasses experiential aspects of staffmembers’ everyday lives and not only a look-&-feel aspect. 1.

متن کاملEfficient Deep Aesthetic Image Classification using Connected Local and Global Features
In this paper we investigate the image aesthetics classification problem, aka, automatically classifying an image into low or high aesthetic quality, which is quite a challenging problem beyond image recognition. Deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) methods have recently shown promising results for image aesthetics assessment. Currently, a powerful inception module is proposed which shows v...
