Aesthetic Composition Indicator Based on Image Complexity

Abstract

Several systems and indicators for multimedia devices have appeared in recent years, with the goal of helping the final user to achieve better results. Said indicators aim at facilitating beginner and intermediate photographers in the creation of images or videos with more professional aesthetics. The chapter describes a series of metrics related to complexity which seem to be useful for the purpose of assessing the aesthetic composition of an image. All the presented metrics are fundamental parts of the prototype “ACIC” introduced here, which allows an assessment of the aesthetics in the composition of the various frames integrating a video.
