Examples of information that can be quantified from drawings

Image-level metrics Detail-level metrics Computational metrics
Image/scene identity Object identities Saliency
Drawing quality Feature size/location/orientation Color/luminance
Aesthetic quality Similarity to a schema/exemplar Symmetry
Emotional valence Texture and material of objects Spatial frequency, edges, GIST
Viewing perspective Caricaturization of features Mid-level measures: SIFT, HOG
Realism/imaginativeness Usage of color Deep learning: classification & heatmaps
Similarity to a schema Usage of text labeling Meaning maps
Accuracy Drawing order & time Motion maps
Erasures and errors Object-object relationships Semantic segmentation
Interpretability Insertions of false details Generative Adversarial Network inputs
