ABSTRACT:
Techniques are described herein for automatically evaluating the quality of digital images based on one or more color characteristics of the images. In some embodiments, a quality metric that indicates the likelihood that the digital images convey semantics is generated based on color characteristics of the digital images. The quality metric may be used, for example, to determine which keyframe to use to make a thumbnail to represent video data. In some embodiments, feature values are generated for an image based on color characteristics of the image, and the feature values are assigned to bins. In such embodiments, the quality metric may be generated to indicate how uniform the distribution of feature values is among the bins.
