computational aesthetics

Computational aesthetics is the study of how computers analyze and evaluate the visual qualities of images and designs. It uses algorithms and mathematical models to assess factors like composition, color harmony, and balance, aiming to understand what makes visuals appealing or beautiful. This field combines art and technology to automate the evaluation of visual content, helping artists, designers, and photographers improve their work or generate new aesthetic options efficiently. Essentially, it’s about teaching computers to understand and measure beauty in images using systematic, data-driven methods.
