Categorizing paintings in art styles based on qualitative color descriptors, quantitative global features and machine learning (QArt-Learn)

作者:

Highlights:

• QArt-Learn categorizes Baroque, Impressionism and Post-Impressionism painting styles.

• It uses Qualitative Colors (QC) that describe style color palettes linguistically.

• K-NN and SVM classifiers learned QCs and global average features of paintings.

• A 252-painting-set was extracted from Painting-91 corresponding to these styles.

• Accuracy of categorization higher than 65% was obtained in this dataset.
