While the problem of image aesthetics has been well explored, the study of 3D shape aesthetics has focused on specific manually defined features. In this paper, we learn an aesthetics measure for 3D shapes autonomously from raw voxel data and without manually-crafted features by leveraging the strength of deep learning. We collect data from humans on their aesthetics preferences for various 3D ...

This paper addresses the issue of perceptual image quality assessment in image restoration systems. Firstly, experiments are conducted to evaluate perceived quality in images degraded only by frequency distortion. Based on the resulting experimental data, a distortion quality measure (DQM) is proposed. Then another experiment, whose test images present frequency distortion and noise injection, ...

We describe a perceptual space for timbre, define an objective metric that takes into account perceptual orthogonality and measure the quality of timbre interpolation. We discuss two timbre representations and measure perceptual judgments. We determine that a timbre space based on Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) is a good model for perceptual timbre space.

We describe a perceptual space for timbre, define an objective metric that takes into account perceptual orthogonality and measure the quality of timbre interpolation. We discuss two timbre representations and measure perceptual judgments on an equivalent range of timbre variety. We determine that a timbre space based on Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) is a good model for a perceptua...

Efficient market hypothesis predicts that capital markets are beset with cer-tain biases which result from wrong estimation, and negatively influence shareholders’ expectations for higher returns, which in turn affects invest-ment efficiency, financial constraints and corporate performance efficacy in competitive markets, and eventually mitigates firm value. The present study aims at examining ...

A digital color image quality metric is proposed in this work based on the characteristics of the human visual system (HVS). Chromatic coordinates are transformed from spectral cone absorption responses to the opponent-color space. The sensitivity thresholds in each of the color space axes are measured and visual masking models are provided and parameterized. Multiple contrasts are computed by ...

The goal of color constancy is to keep colors invariant to illumination. An important group of color constancy methods are the global illumination estimation methods. Numerous such methods have been proposed and their accuracy is usually described by using statistical descriptors of illumination estimation angular error. In order to demonstrate some of their fallacies and shortages, a very simp...
