Abstract

Computational aesthetics is the research of computational methods that do make applicable aesthetic decisions in a similar fashion as human can. In the context of computer science, it has a direct impact on landscape planning and management, computer aided conceptual design, garment and fashion industry, entertainment industry, architecture, interior design, etc. Inventions done by various researchers have made a significant impact on the development of frameworks and models for computational aesthetics that are of enormous help in the above application areas. This paper studies the existing computational aesthetic techniques and proposes a new approach to investigate the common attributes (parameters) with their weighting factors which give a real impact for a different aesthetic appreciation of an artwork (painting). Further, details of the analysis results have been presented with a view to establish the proposed model.
