Abstract:

As an important type of linear cultural heritage and a waterfront landscape that integrates both artificial and natural elements, heritage canals provide the public with a multidimensional perceptual experience encompassing aesthetics, culture, and nature. There remains a lack of refined, micro-level studies on heritage canal landscapes from a multidimensional perspective of visual preference. This study focuses on a typical segment of the Grand Canal in China, specifically the ancient canal section in Yangzhou. We employed SegFormer image semantic segmentation techniques to interpret features

Most of the groundbreaking works of Gustav Theodor Fechner (1801–1887), who paved the way for modern experimental psychology, psychophysics, and empirical aesthetics, are so far only available in German. With the first full text translation of Fechner’s article on The Aesthetic Association Principle ( Das Associationsprincip in der Aesthetik), we want to fill in one of the blank spots in the reception of his Aesthetics from Below (Aesthetik von Unten). In his 1866 article, Fechner devises a fundamental principle that accounts for the role of associations in the formation of aesthetic preferenc

Abstract:

Aesthetic preference has always been considered to be subjective and its influences have been studied for a long time. One of the most discussed is the relationship between individual traits and aesthetic preference. Although some traits have been proven to contribute to aesthetic preferences, the exact mechanism of their influence is unclear. The research on the relationship between trait mindfulness and traits has become more refined, and some of these traits, such as spatial perception and memory, have been shown to be related to aesthetic preferences. Thus, it seems feasible to improve tra

AbstractRecent image aesthetic assessment methods have achieved remarkable progress due to the emergence of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, these methods focus primarily on predicting generally perceived preference of an image, making them usually have limited practicability, since each user may have completely different preferences for the same image. To address this problem, this paper presents a novel approach for predicting personalized image aesthetics that fit an individual user’s personal taste.

Abstract:

This study investigates how Australian consumers’ aesthetic preferences for timber joints in architectural products are influenced by their sociodemographic characteristics and the visual appearance of the joints. Visual appearance in architecture and product design is a vital factor in consumer response and success of a product; however, designed items are often created without aesthetic research rigour to better understand user acceptance. We see this as an opportunity for greater penetration of aesthetics for designed products and, in this instance, contemporary architecture. We provide ext

Permanent forest reserves (PFR) in urban areas are an integral aspect of the urban forest concept and the basis of a city’s green infrastructure. The preservation of natural forests in urban areas has become a widely researched topic due to the environmental, social, and economic benefits provided by it. Although several studies have shown that visual aesthetics play a role in preserving natural forests in urban areas, visual aesthetic value is typically not prioritized in preservation plans since it varies based on the physical characteristics of natural forests in urban areas, making it diff

Abstract:

Art and nature provide much of their aesthetic appeal from a balance of simplicity and complexity, and order and unpredictability. Recently, complex natural patterns have been produced by simple mathematical equations whose solutions appear unpredictable (chaotic). Yet the simplicity and determinism of the equations ensure a degree of order in the resulting patterns. The first experiment shows how aesthetic preferences correlate with the fractal dimension ( F) and the Lyapunov exponent ( L) of the patterns. F reflects the extent that space is filled and L represents the unpredictability of the

Abstract:

In his ground-breaking Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful, Edmund Burke (1757) presented a comprehensive aesthetic theory based on two types of aesthetic appreciation: the beautiful and the sublime. While beauty inspires us with tender feelings of affection, a thrill of delightful horror attracts us to the sublime. According to Burke these ideas originate in a drive for affiliation (beautiful) and a drive for self-preservation (sublime). He also claims that the sublime is generally the more powerful aesthetic experience. A synopsis of literature on

Abstract:

As urbanization quickens, the role of public art in urban landscape design gains prominence. Nevertheless, how stylistic characteristics of landscape public art affect aesthetic preferences remains insufficiently discussed, particularly with objective assessment methods. The use of event-related potential (ERP) can offer neurophysiological evidence to support research and practice in landscape art design. We employed a 2 (artistic features) × 2 (professional proficiency) repeated-measures design, involving abstract and figurative experimental stimuli; both experts and non-experts participated,

Abstract:

Background Nipple areola complex (NAC) reconstruction is the final stage in breast reconstruction for many women. Although general population preferences on NAC aesthetics and sensation have been studied, it is unclear if these preferences align with the preferences of women who have undergone mastectomy. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the aesthetic and sensory preferences of women who have undergone mastectomy to inform subsequent NAC reconstruction and neurotization. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional, Facebook-based, crowdsourcing campaign to distribute a survey on NAC aesthetics

Abstract:

Time is a central issue in discussions about art and in Berlyne's aesthetic theory. This article reports on the temporal stabilities of preferences for a novel and controversial building at three times after construction (2 years, 18 years, 23 years), and public preferences for 20 ordinary and noncontroversial buildings at three times over nine years. In all there were 5543 respondents. Analyses suggested that the initial response to the novel building was stable over the next 23 years, and the public responses for the 20 nonnovel buildings were stable over nine years.

This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of EGM and fuzzy TOPSIS-IPA. The Evaluation Grid Method (EGM) of Miryoku Engineering was applied to study the aesthetic cognitive preferences of landscape paintings from the Taiwan region. This paper also summarizes the different aspects of the aesthetic literacy of people from the Taiwan region and proposes the attractive factors of paintings. Besides, the golden ratio scale semantics, that is, the traditional subjective consciousness model was replaced with the equal-ratio aesthetic scale semantics, and fuzzy satisfaction and importance were use

Abstract:

This study examines the translation and dissemination of onomatopoeic words in The Book of Songs through the lens of Reception Aesthetics, which emphasizes readers’ role in realizing a text’s meaning. It introduces core concepts—“expectation horizons”, “calling structure”, and “aesthetic distance”—and analyzes features of The Book of Songs’ onomatopoeia. Comparing Xu Yuanchong’s and James Legge’s translations reveals Xu excels in preserving phonetic beauty and stimulating imagination, while Legge aligns closer to Western aesthetic preferences. Finally, it proposes dissemination strategies: tai

Abstract:

Visual aesthetic quality is the visual pleasure level that attracts people and makes them prefer certain areas. Visual aesthetic quality is valued and considered for urban forests but remains challenging. This could be due to a lack of understanding of visual aesthetic quality assessment variables based on visual aesthetic theories. This study supports an integrated conceptual framework based on the result of a systematic literature review study to describe and measure aesthetics that incorporates objective and subjective factors through urban forest visual character and urban forest visual qu

Abstract:

Cultural and recreational values of biodiversity are considered as important dimensions of nature's contribution to people. Among these values, the aesthetics can be of major importance as the appreciation of beauty is one of the simplest forms of human emotional response. Using an online survey, we disentangled the effects of different facets of biodiversity on aesthetic preferences of coral reef fish assemblages that are among the most emblematic assemblages on Earth. While we found a positive saturating effect of species' richness on human preference, we found a net negative effect of speci

Abstract This study examines how local population, tourists and farmers relate to rural landscapes, by exploring visual landscape preferences and the influence of everyday landscapes on the research subjects. Results point towards an immense variability in visual landscape preferences amongst user groups living in or visiting the study area (Plana de l’Empordà, Girona, Spain). Tourists rate grasslands at the top of their preference list, local residents prefer orchards, and farmers favour fields of irrigated herbaceous crops; showing, altogether, that the user's relationship with the landscape

Abstract:

The text-to-image task, a critical branch of computer vision and image processing, has witnessed remarkable advancements fueled by the abundance of realistic data and rapid AI innovation. However, existing research often overlooks scenarios involving sparse textual input and fails to incorporate human personalized preferences into the generative process. To address these gaps, we propose a novel AI methodology: personalized short-text-to-image generation through aesthetic assessment and human insights. Our approach introduces a symmetry between personalized aesthetic preferences and the genera
