	abstract =	{In this paper, we study how human observers judge image
	similarity. To do so, we have conducted two psychophysical scaling
	experiments and have compared the results to two algorithmic image
	similarity metrics. For these experiments, we selected a set of 97
	digitized photographic images which represent a range of semantic
	categories, viewing distances, and colors. We then used the two
	perceptual and the two algorithmic methods to measure the similarity of
	each image to every other image in the data set, producing four
	similarity matrices. These matrices were analyzed using
	multidimensional scaling techniques to gain insight into the dimensions
	human observers use for judging image similarity, and how these
	dimensions differ from the results of algorithmic methods. This paper
	also describes and validates a new technique for collecting similarity
	judgments which can provide meaningful results with a factor of four
	fewer judgments, as compared with the paired comparisons method.},
