Learning Image Similarity Measures from Choice Data

We present a corpus of experimental data from psychometric studies on gamut mapping and demonstrate its use to develop image similarity measures. We investigate whether similarity measures based on luminance (SSIM) can be improved when features based on chroma and hue are added. Image similarity measures can be applied to automatically select a good image from a sample of transformed images.
