The aesthetic quality of a photograph is a significant cue for inferring the level of appreciation that arises when people view digital content on various types of computer systems. It would be useful to classify the aesthetic quality in photographs to more easily edit large photograph collections that are available because of the widespread use of digital cameras and the Internet. The research community is currently tackling this challenging problem of aesthetic quality classification, which automatically assesses whether a photograph generates aesthetic appreciation. This paper focuses on developing techniques for aesthetic quality classification of photographs. In particular, we discuss detecting of multiple-subject regions and assessing color harmony in order to enhance the performance of aesthetic quality classification. These techniques play an important role in determining aesthetic quality. We statistically build these quality classifiers using large photograph databases collected on websites where users manually provide quality labels to photographs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that our aesthetic quality classifier emulates how people edit large photograph collections.
