Abstract
This paper proposes a system that presents hairstyle candidates considering individual feeling by the use of an image word, which is an adjective expressing hairstyle impression. The system is composed of three parts: An impression estimate part, a hairstyle selection part and a modification part. In this paper, the impression estimate part and the selection of initial hairstyle candidates by the hairstyle selection part are described. The impression estimate part estimates the impression value of an inputted image word by mapping to an impression space that is composed of two factors axes extracted by factor analysis for data obtained in the pre-experiment. Initial hairstyle candidates are selected by the hairstyle selection part based on the impression value estimated by the impression estimate part. Finally, subject experiment are performed to confirm the validity of selection method of initial hairstyle candidates.
