Abstract
Automatically determining image quality of a machine generated image may generate a local saliency map of the image to obtain a set of unsupervised features. The image is run through a trained convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract a set of supervised features from a fully connected layer of the CNN, the image convolved with a set of learned kernels from the CNN to obtain a complementary set of supervised features. The set of unsupervised features and the complementary set of supervised features are combined, and a first decision on gradability of the image is predicted. A second decision on gradability of the image is predicted based on the set of supervised features. Whether the image is gradable is determined based on a weighted combination of the first decision and the second decision.
