ABSTRACT
We present ACQUINE - Aesthetic Quality Inference Engine, a publicly accessible system which allows users to upload their photographs and have them rated automatically for aesthetic quality. The system integrates a support vector machine based classifier which extracts visual features on the fly and performs real-time classification and prediction. As the first publicly available tool for automatically determining the aesthetic value of an image, this work is a significant first step in recognizing human emotional reaction to visual stimulus. In this paper, we discuss fundamentals behind this system, and some of the challenges faced while creating it. We report statistics generated from over 140,000 images uploaded by Web users. The system is demonstrated at http://acquine.alipr.com.

3D Shadow Art Sculpture Based On Real Items
C&C '17: Proceedings of the 2017 ACM SIGCHI Conference on Creativity and CognitionExisting 3D shadow sculptures could be made by 3D printing to generate shadows in 3 or more directions, but a 3D printed sculpture looks too technical and has less artistic feel. This paper develops a unique method and a new tool to create 3D shadow art ...
The Aesthetic and the Poietic Elements of Information Design
IV '10: Proceedings of the 2010 14th International Conference Information VisualisationIn this paper I address two types of perspectives on the aesthetic that are of relevance for a discussion of contemporary information design. Firstly, the ’aesthetic’ understood as aesthetic perception of beautiful form. Secondly, the ’aesthetic’ ...
Aesthetics, art, evolution
EvoMUSART'13: Proceedings of the Second international conference on Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired Music, Sound, Art and DesignThis paper discusses issues in evolutionary art related to Art Theory and Aesthetics with a view to better understanding how they might contribute to both research and practice. Aesthetics is a term often used in evolutionary art, but is regularly used ...
