Aesthetic Quality Assessment for Group photograph

Image aesthetic quality assessment has got much attention in recent years, but not many works have been done on a specific genre of photos: Group photograph. In this work, we designed a set of high-level features based on the experience and principles of group photography: Opened-eye, Gaze, Smile, Occluded faces, Face Orientation, Facial blur, Character center. Then we combined them and 83 generic aesthetic features to build two aesthetic assessment models. We also constructed a large dataset of group photographs - GPD- annotated with the aesthetic score. The experimental result shows that our features perform well for categorizing professional photos and snapshots and predicting the distinction of multiple group photographs of diverse human states under the same scene.
