Abstract
A system and method for evaluating iconicity of an image are provided. In the method, at least one test image is received, each test image including an object in a selected class. Properties related to iconicity are computed for each test image. The properties may include one or more of: a) a direct measure of iconicity, which is computed with a direct iconicity prediction model which has been learned on a set of training images, each training image labeled with an iconicity score; b) one or more class-independent properties; and c) one or more class-dependent properties. A measure of iconicity of each of the test images is computed, based on the computed properties. By combining a set of complementary properties, an iconicity measure which shows good agreement with human evaluations of iconicity can be obtained.
