Acquine : aesthetic quality inference engine
Posted by Celia Walter | 17 May, 2009Acquine : aesthetic quality inference engine
Acquine (Aesthetic Quality Inference Engine) is an experimental online stylometrics service, which is the result of research by Dr. Ritendra Datta and assistants at Penn State University, partly funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation. This free website offers an automatic algorithm-based assessment of the aesthetics of any natural colour photograph. Users can upload a photograph which is then evaluated via a score from 0 to 100. Dr. Ritendra Datta has since left Penn State University and is now working for Google. The website also has full details of the project, and links to three full-text academic papers detailing the patent-pending process behing the Acquine engine. This website will be of interest to those investigating computer-based aesthetic inference and ranking systems. From Intute.ac.uk
