Abstract

Measuring aesthetic value of an artwork is a significant task in the field of visual & performing arts. Artists follow several techniques manually using traditional methods to balance the visual aesthetic value of different aesthetic products such as a film, a drama, a painting etc. Today, artists are enthusiastic on emerging information technology techniques for judgment and enhancement of designed product aesthetically and efficiently while applying traditional concepts to design initial form of the artwork. Computational aesthetics is the research of computational methods that do make applicable aesthetic decisions in a similar fashion as human can. This paper introduces a new tool that can be used to rank a given digital image of paintings based on a common parameter set with their weighting factors which are supposed to be adjusted for changing the aesthetic level of a particular painting in the area of computational aesthetics.
