He teaches several different courses there, on the topics of photography, media visualisation and fine art analysis. Currently he is working on the project of a Database for Image Assessment.
Jure holds a master’s in graphic engineering, and in 2017 he also graduated from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering in the field of graphic technology. In his doctoral thesis he researched the correlation between subjective and objective evaluation of digital photographs, or put another way: how do different methods of evaluating the quality of digital photographs compare with people’s opinions. His aim was to gain guidelines to predict the success of a given message in a photograph. He determined which parameters of visual quality have the greatest influence on the communication of the message, and which methods of calculation and measurement of visual quality are most effective in predicting the communicative power.
