Can we measure beauty?

Researchers have shown that an objective computational analysis of photographic images can be used to assess the health of a coral reef. The results have even wider posible application. The authors have also created a website using the techniques developed in this article where you can upload your own image to and get an 'aesthetic' score back.

I told my colleagues that PeerJ is a journal where they need to publish if they want their paper to be published quickly and with the strict peer review expected from a good journal.
