Image Category Experiment


Determination of Image Categories for Typical Consumer Imagery
MS Color Science Thesis Kenneth N. Fleisher

	INTRODUCTION Welcome to my internet experiment! My name is Ken Fleisher and I am an MS Color Science candidate at the Munsell Color Science Laboratory at Rochester Institute of Technology. The purpose of my research is to determine the fundamental image categories for typical consumer imagery. The results of this research will benefit imaging and color scientists who are investigating issues whose results exhibit image dependencies. Please direct any questions/comments to knf8803@cis.rit.edu and I will reply at the first opportunity. EXPERIMENT INSTRUCTIONS You will be presented with three images at a time. Your task is to select which two images are the most similar and which two are the most dissimilar. It is important to remember that you are free to decide on your own criteria for judging images as being similar or dissimilar. Some choices will be more obvious than others. Although this experiment is being conducted as part of a color science research project, your decisions do not have to involve color. For more detailed instructions and an example, click here. You are encouraged to take the experiment as many times as you like! iPOD CONTEST The contest to win an iPod is now over. A winner has been selected and will be notified by e-mail. Although the contest is over, the experiment is still active and you are invited to participate just for fun!
