CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 PROBLEM DEFINITION

A computer vision issue called "image aesthetics assessment" involves classifying images into various
aesthetic conditions. A long standing issue in the quality assessment of an image has been whether or not
to check its aesthetics aspects. The idea behind using aesthetics to image scoring is to balance out some of
the important problem factors that are rarely discussed when judging an image's quality.

The project “Image quality review:-Machine learning approach for image quality and aesthetics review”
aims at providing an efficient way to analyse the image quality and reviews about its aesthetics.

1.2 Motivation

Goal and Objectives:

• The main aim of the proposed work is to provide a model that evaluates all the aspects for calculating the
quality score of an image while providing review about its aesthetics aspects.
• Will allow users to upload pictures with highest quality to improve the reachability of their image and
user interface .

1.3 Existing System

● The traditional method of review quality only gave answers about th

● It is not accurate and easy method of analysing images overall quality and aesthetics
● It requires a lot of time.

2. Detailed working on project

This project provides a better approach in ranking an image's quality score. Image aesthetics assessment is
a computer vision problem dealing with grading images into different aesthetic situations. Quality
assessment deals with measuring degradation similar to sharpness,brightness, colorfulness, resolution,
noise,contrast.

The categorization is generally done by taking an input image and calculating some measure of the degree
which the image adheres to the fundamental principle of photography such as noise, blur,
sharpness,recurring,motion-blur,vivid-colour,colour-harmony,light etc.

The above aspects are used to give a score to the quality of the image. The proposed system also gives the
overall aesthetic report of the image.

3. Platform to be used

The project needed several requirements to be gathered before proceeding to design the
architecture . One among them includes gathering information about the activities/services that
would be required for the proper functioning of such a model. To identify this I searched the existing
frameworks/libraries that provide services of various algorithms and gathered information about
what kind of tools will be required to build such a model.

● Hardware specification :

Description Minimum

Operating System Windows 10 or above Ubuntu 20.10 and

above

RAM 1 GB

User Interface Keyboard, Mouse

● Software specification:

1. Application/Tools/IDE

● Numpy

● Jason
● Sublime text/ VS code
● Google chrome
● openCV
● Gunicorn

2. API

● Falcon

Expected Outcome:

The proposed model takes an image as an input and provides an appropriate score of
aesthetic quality of the input image.

5 Application Areas:

The proposed project is a CNN based deep learning model, it can find its uses in various
areas such as image quality checks for uploading on Real estate websites, Stock image
providers, Remote healthcare and data crowdsourcing projects. Real-world applications
could benefit from the ability to automatically generate a fine-grained ranking of photo
aesthetics.

System Analysis & Design

2.1 Requirement Specification

The project needed several requirements to be gathered before proceeding to design the
architecture.One among them includes gathering information about the activities/services that would
be required for the proper functioning of such a model. To identify this I searched the existing
frameworks/libraries that provide services of various algorithms and gathered information about
what kind of tools will be required to build such a model.
1. PYTHON
Python is a very popular programming language used for machine learning. The project is written
in this language because it is easy to write and understand with a vast set of libraries and
framework that were essential in this project.
1. OPEN Cv
OpenCV is a python library of programming capabilities which is used for performing computer
vision tasks. By the help of this it becomes easy to handle computer vision problems like handling
images for image processing, face recognition , object detection etc. With the use of vector space
and other mathematical procedures we can recognize picture design and the different elements
present in it.In this project we have used opencv to create the model that can recognize patterns in
the image and give out the required result that is its quality and aesthetic review.
1. Caffee
Caffee is a deep learning framework[] used for image processing and computer vision. It sees
through the unseen labels of an image so as to give the most accurate results. In our mosel
we use it to predict the labels of our image so it can give out the perfect score.
1. Gunicorn
The Gunicorn server is comprehensively viable with different web systems, just carried out, light
on server asset use, and genuinely quick[].
1. Flacon API
The Falcon API used to connect our model to the internet. In our project we have two different
api’s one for quality and the other for aesthetic.

3.5. Design and Test Steps

The model is designed with the help of open source deep learning frameworks and libraries.
Use of the deep learning algorithms is that features are executed automatically. This is the
main difference between using a traditional machine learning algorithm and a deep learning
technique. Use of frameworks like Opencv which are primarily used for processing of image
data helps it be fast and highly effective. The model is simple and can be easily implemented.
All we need to do is take an url of an image as our input and paste it in the api that will take
the request and give out a response according to the type of the request. If the request is for
quality it will give out the result of the image’s quality and its score. Similarly if it's for
aesthetics then the aesthetic assessment results are given out.

The quality assessment for input images done with the help for certain parameters like
sharpness,noise,brightness etc. Each of the parameters have a score according to the clarity in
the image. The full_score of the image is calculated by taking the mean score of all the quality
parameters score and rounding itn off. The aesthetic reviews are given by checking the score
of the parameter and giving out a text response equivalent to the score.

3.6. Algorithms and Pseudo Code

1. System with Windows 10 or above or Ubuntu 20.4 or above is required.

2. Image url with extensions .jpg .jpeg .png has to be taken.
3. The image url is passed to the api, with the respective endpoint (aesthetic or quality)
4. The api will give the desired result according to the request given to it.
5. For aesthetic response change the input “quality” to “aesthetic” to get response for
aesthetic review.

Pseudo Code
Quality aspects

Specialised quality assessment deals with measuring low- position parameters like noise[1],
blur[1], sharpness, brightness, resolution,contrast,colourfulness. Each of these parameters
gives out a score for the given input image. These scores are used for calculating the mean
which is then rounded off to some places by which the full_score of the image will be
calculated.
1. Input image will first be resized . This will not affect our image much but will help for
calculating it much faster.

Noise
Contrast

Chapter 4.
Conclusion and Future Enhancements

We have observed that the full scoring of an image cannot be done just by viewing its quality
aspects. An image has a lot of parameters and emotions with it and aesthetic review should be
also taken into account when giving it a score. The aesthetics can not be limited to a few
parameters. As the technology is growing we will be able to find many more athletic aspects
of an image.
