Abstract(in English) According to the spread of Social Networking Services (SNS), there is the increasing demand for automatically selecting, editing or generating aesthetic images and it raises importance of evaluating image aesthetics. We propose a multi-patch image aesthetic score prediction method with preserving original aspect-ratios of original images. In the experiment with AVA dataset containing 250,000 images, our approach outperforms the existing method in image aesthetic score prediction, especially improved the linear correlation coefficient between predicted and ground truth aesthetic scores by 0.05. Noticeably, significant decrease in prediction errors is observed with images having minor aspect-ratios.
