Due to the distribution of the aesthetic score is unbalanced, the assessment models always output scores near the mean score. In this paper, we propose a fine-grained regression method for aesthetics score regression and combine position and channel attention mechanisms to enhance the aesthetic feature fusion. And by training the regression network separately from the classification network, we make the classification task a complement to the regression task. Besides, the researchers are used to using Mean Square Error (MSE) as the main evaluation metric which is inadequate in measuring the error of each interval. In order to fully consider the images of the various aesthetic score segments, instead of focusing on the intermediate aesthetic score segments because of the imbalance of the aesthetic datasets, we propose a new evaluation metric called Segmented Mean Square Errors (SMSE) to prove the advantages of the model. We divide the entire AADB dataset into 10 equal parts based on the aesthetic scores and the experiments were carried out on each of the segmented AADB datasets. In this way, images for each aesthetic score segment are fairly considered. The experimental results reveal that our method outperforms all the state-of-the-art methods on both MSE and SMSE. The dual attention modules of position and channel also make the activation maps more reasonable. Our methods make the aesthetic scoring go beyond laboratories to real life applications. Because computational visual aesthetics is a very interesting and challenging task in the field of computer vision, and computer vision is also one of the key areas of focus of this journal, the method proposed in this paper is closely related to the field covered by the journal.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100288,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Robotics","volume":"2 ","pages":"Pages 202-210"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667241322000167/pdfft?md5=dc3af1caaad28fd9bab9b75e96e3a5e1&pid=1-s2.0-S2667241322000167-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78743861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They also function poorly in a variety of sizes and densities, as well. Transfer learning and deep convolutional neural network architecture are used to create a modest but efficient network, which we describe herein. We named the proposed crowd counting architecture deep crowd transfer network (DCTNets) since it incorporates both deep learning and transfer learning principles into a single system. Among DCTNets’ key components are a detection module that is based on mask R-CNNs and an estimate module that is based on deep convolutional neural networks. In the first step, we apply transfer learning to the Mask R-CNN model using the datasets ShanghaiTech, JHU-CROWD++, and UCF-QNRF. After that, we train and evaluate the complete architecture on these datasets using the transfer learning results. Input images are sent through a Mask R-CNN, which counts individuals and segments the counted region, then through an estimation network, which estimates the population size, and finally through a merge of the outputs from the two models.
