Aesthetic Analysis of Mahogany Inlaid Silver Pattern Based on Eye Movement Data

Abstract

From the perspective of user experience combined with computer vision technology to analyzed the preference of target user's in the inlaid silver pattern of mahogany, in order to promote the inheritance and development of this intangible cultural heritage. Firstly, using the morphological analysis method and the principle of semiotics to analysis and deconstruction of the pattern of mahogany inlaid silver products, Identify key features. Construct a “mahogany inlaid silver pattern DNA model” and extract the core pattern as an experimental sample. Secondly, 40 target users of different ages and genders were selected as the subjects, using eye tracker to collect the eye movement data when the subjects observeing different patterns.
