For Photographers: Participate in a User-Study for Image Quality Assessment

Participate in a user-study regarding image quality degradations. You will be presented with 300 images, in the form of a browser-based study. Help us determine what types of quality degradations are shown in each image, and provide a quality rating. IMPORTANT We're looking for participants that are experienced with photography (or photo editing) and have a good understanding of the different types of quality degradations that online images often show. Please describe your level of experience with photography when making a bid for the project. ABOUT US This experiment is part of a research project that we're conducting at University of Konstanz in Germany. Our group is working on image quality assessment. In this particular case we're looking into how well people can relate to the different types of degradations that are often encountered in public images available online e.g. photo sharing communities. We are studying technical quality. In contrast to the aesthetic quality of an image, technical quality refers exclusively to the annoyance of different types of degradations that are visible in images. For instance, we're not concerned with the composition of the photograph, its framing or pleasantness of the subject material. TODO - create a [login to view URL] contributor account at [login to view URL] - we'll send you the link to the study on request, and will be able to participate immediately after - complete the study by answering three questions for each of the 300 images (see attached example image to know what to expect) The project takes about 1 hour to complete on average. We need 5-10 participants in the study. As a consequence, we'll have to wait until enough bids are placed before accepting anyone.
