Abstract (arXiv)

Image aesthetic quality assessment is popular during the last decade. Besides numerical assessment, nature language assessment (aesthetic captioning) has been proposed to describe the generally aesthetic impression of an image. In this paper, we propose aesthetic attribute assessment, which is the aesthetic attributes captioning, i.e., to assess the aesthetic attributes such as composition, lighting usage and color arrangement. It is a non-trivial task to label the comments of aesthetic attributes, which limit the scale of the corresponding datasets. We construct a novel dataset, named DPC-CaptionsV2, by a semi-automatic way. The knowledge is transferred from a small-scale dataset with full annotations to large-scale professional comments from a photography website. Images of DPC-CaptionsV2 contain comments up to 4 aesthetic attributes: composition, lighting, color, and subject. Then, we propose a new version of Aesthetic Multi-Attributes Networks (AMANv2) based on the BUTD model and the VLPSA model. AMANv2 fuses features of a mixture of small-scale PCCD dataset with full annotations and large-scale DPCCaptionsV2 dataset with full annotations. The experimental results of DPCCaptionsV2 show that our method can predict the comments on 4 aesthetic attributes, which are closer to aesthetic topics than those produced by the previous AMAN model. Through the evaluation criteria of image captioning, the specially designed AMANv2 model is better to the CNN-LSTM model and the AMAN model.
