On-site composition and aesthetics feedback through exemplars for photographers

摘要

A comprehensive system to enhance the aesthetic quality of the photographs captured by mobile consumers provides on-site composition and aesthetics feedback through retrieved examples. Composition feedback is qualitative in nature and responds by retrieving highly aesthetic exemplar images from the corpus which are similar in content and composition to the snapshot. Color combination feedback provides confidence on the snapshot to contain good color combinations. Overall aesthetics feedback predicts the aesthetic ratings for both color and monochromatic images. An algorithm is used to provide ratings for color images, while new features and a new model are developed to treat monochromatic images. This system was designed keeping the next generation photography needs in mind and is the first of its kind. The feedback rendered is guiding and intuitive in nature. It is computed in situ while requiring minimal input from the user.

主权项

1. A method of providing aesthetic feedback to photographers, comprising the steps of:
receiving a digital photograph from an image-capturing device at a server; analyzing attributes of the photograph at the server, including the step of forming color triplets associated with the photograph; providing feedback to a user of the image-capturing device regarding the aesthetic quality of the photograph; and wherein the aesthetic quality is based at least in part on the color triplets.
