Abstract: The aesthetic assessment of images is a popular research topic due to its practical applications in various fields such as image recommendation, image ranking, and image search. Currently, most research on image aesthetic assessment relies on large-scale photography datasets, such as AVA and AADB, primarily composed of photos taken by users in real-world scenarios. Few studies specifically focus on the automatic aesthetic assessment of artistic images. Artistic images are more complex, diverse, and abstract compared to photographic images. In this paper, we propose a convolutional neural network model to automatically generate aesthetic scores for input artistic images. Unlike previous research, this study explores artistic theories and introduces the analysis of aesthetic features in artistic images from three dimensions: color, brightness, and contour. These features are integrated to generate an overall aesthetic score. We utilize our own large-scale dataset of artistic images for aesthetic assessment, consisting of over 7,000 artistic images, each accompanied by corresponding average aesthetic scores assigned by users. We compare our model with state-of-the-art image aesthetic assessment models, demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach.
