Abstract:

Visual aesthetics of 3-D shapes is a fundamental perceptual attribute. In this article, we explore the question of how different shape representations affect the aesthetic judgments of shape pairs. Specifically, we compare human responses to perceptual aesthetics judgments on 3-D shapes in pairs presented in different 3-D shape representation, such as voxels, points, wireframe, and polygon. In contrast to our own previous work [Dev et al. (2017)] that explores this question for a few shape classes, this article analyzes a larger number of shape classes. Our key finding is that human aesthetics judgments on relatively low resolution of points or voxels are comparable to polygon meshes, which implies that humans can often make their aesthetics decisions based on relatively coarse representations of the shapes. Our results have implications toward the data collection process of pairwise aesthetics data and the further use of such data in shape aesthetics and 3-D modeling problems.
