Abstract
The aesthetic quality of forests in the US is actively managed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service. To support this mission, several forest lands in the southern US have been carefully photographed and analyzed for factors contributing to scenic content. We describe algorithms that we developed to automatically assess the scenic quality of images. The goal of the project was to develop objective techniques to determine the scenic beauty rating of the image and correlate the rating to the subjective ratings available from human experimentation. The evaluation database that was developed for this task is also described.Keywords
