How do you define the best photos in a large database that hosts thousands of images sent from all over the world? The visual bank EyeEm has developed its artificial intelligence system to make an objective choice of the best photographs on its platform. EyeEm Vision AI analyzes the light, color and quality of the image according to exact criteria. Using this artificial intelligence, the site picked the best photos from 2016.

According to the website, “EyeEm Vision is a powerful, proprietary, patented computer vision technology that automatically understand and tags photos” EyeEm Vision can also determine the aesthetic qualities of a photo based on commercial potential and curator preferences.
