Multi-task based Image Aesthetics Quality Evaluation

Image aesthetics quality evaluation, which allows computers to judge "beauty and ugliness", is widely used in fields of image recommendation and image editing etc.. Most aesthetic evaluation methods can only output one type of evaluation result, thus, the scope of their application scenarios is limited. To solve this problem, we proposed a multi-task based aesthetic evaluation system, which can output the image style label and three forms of the aesthetic evaluation results for a image. The training procedure is divided into two stages to realize the aesthetic evaluation tasks from coarse to fine. Experiments on AVA dataset show that it can accomplish an efficient and comprehensive image aesthetic quality evaluation.
