Graphoto is a framework that automatically generates a photo or adjusts an existing one to match a line graph. Since aesthetics is an important element in visualizing personal data, Graphoto provides users with aesthetically pleasing displays for casual line graph information visualization. More specifically, after creating a line graph of the input data, a photo that resembles the input data o...

This paper proposes a efficient method for instant photo aesthetics quality assessment that can be implemented on general portable devices. The classification performance is guaranteed to 0.89 on benchmark photo database. We also port our method onto a middle-level tablet computer to execute instantly and we find it reaches good acceptable efficiency. Moreover, an aesthetic information display ...

In this work we study the connection between subjective evaluation of facial aesthetics and selected objective parameters based on photo-quality and facial soft biometrics. The approach is novel in that it jointly considers both previous results on photo quality and beauty assessment, as well as it incorporates non-permanent facial characteristics and expressions in the context of female facial...

Computational Aesthetics applied on digital photography is becoming an interesting issue in different frameworks (e.g., photo album summarization, imaging acquisition devices). Although it is widely believed and can often be experimentally demonstrated that aesthetics is mainly subjective, we aim to find some formal or mathematical explanations of aesthetics in photographs. We propose a scoring...

As the perception of beauty is subjective across individuals, evaluating the objective aesthetic value of an image is a challenging task in image retrieval system. Unlike current online photo sharing services that take the average rating as the aesthetic score, our system integrates various ratings from different users by jointly modeling images and users’ expertise in a regression framework. I...

The capacity of automatically modeling photographic composition is valuable for many real-world machine vision applications such as digital photography, image retrieval, image understanding, and image aesthetics assessment. The triangle technique is among those indispensable composition methods on which professional photographers often rely. This paper proposes a system that can identify promin...

Cameras on mobile phones are becoming the primary means of photo creation for common people. Because of the convenience of mobile phones, it is effortless to take snapshots and share with others. As a result, pictures are being created at a much faster pace. It is estimated that as many as one trillion photos will be taken in the year of 2015. Software tools that make it easier for average phot...

In this project, we applied two machine learning techniques: CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and SVM (Support Vector machine) to build an image aesthetic evaluating system. And we have achieved an 5-folder cross validation accuracy of above 99% by using CNN implemented in Torch. In the ‘Introduction’ section, a brief background of the problem and an introduction of our system are given. In t...
