The calculator is the work of Aditya Khosla, who explained the process in this paper, What makes an image popular?, that he presented at this year's International World Wide Web Conference.

To come up with the calculator, Khosla analyzed over two-million Flickr photographs to see both what was happening in the image itself (such as the colors, contrasts, and kinds of objects) and what was happening socially (such as the popularity of the sender, the number of friends they had, the number of images that they had sent out before) to make that image either become popular or go by ignored.


Using that analysis, they put together an algorithm that evaluates the image quality of a picture — including the popularity of the color scheme, as shown in the graph below — and uses it to come up with a potential popularity score.
for example the most popular Oscar Selfie got a score of 4.158
