Image Aesthetic Assessment Based on Perception Consistency
Automatically assessing the aesthetic quality of images that is consistent with humans is a challenging task. Previous works based on Convolution Neural Network (CNN) lacks of perception consistency in two aspects. First, they mainly extract features from the entire image without distinguishing between the foreground and background. Second, they classify images with highly compressed semantic feature. In this paper, we proposed a visual perception network (VP Net) to support perception consistency learning. It was designed as a double subnet network which can learn from subject region feature and multi level features. In addition, a subject region search algorithm was proposed to find out a composed of multiple subject regions. Experimental results on a large scale aesthetic dataset (AVA) have demonstrated the superiority of our approach.
