Engineering features to automatically assess image quality

While at Insight, I had the opportunity to consult on a data science project for AptDeco.com. AptDeco is a NYC based peer-to-peer online marketplace for buying and selling used furniture. The AptDeco team fills in any missing details about the furniture, creates high quality listings on their website, and even delivers the furniture when it's purchased. The first step a user takes when creating a listing on AptDeco is to submit a picture of their furniture. The editors at AptDeco will manually review the pictures, and decide if the images are of high enough quality to be edited and displayed on the front page of the listing.
