A system and method for determining the aesthetic quality (20) of an image (12) is described. The method includes extracting a set of local features (14) from the image (12), such as gradient and / or color characteristics, and generating an image representation (16) that describes the distribution of local characteristics (14). A classifier system (18) is used to determine an aesthetic quality (20) of the image (12) based on the calculated image representation (16).
