Composition Harmony Assessment Method Based on Rule of Thirds

摘要

Composition harmony mainly refers to the various components of the image that are sensed together as a harmonious and unified organism, it plays a key role in the assessment of image aesthetic quality. In this paper, a composition harmony assessment method based on the rule of thirds was proposed. The eye-tracking dataset was used to extract the saliency regions of the image and the composition harmony assessment method was designed by computing how close the centroid of the largest saliency region and the rule of thirds. Moreover, the effectiveness of the assessment method was analyzed by the subjective evaluation experiment results of the composition harmony. The experimental results showed that the composition harmony assessment method proposed in this paper is effective.
