Abstract
We present an interactive grid layout generation system using Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC). A grid layout is a basic and simple layout, but making it becomes tedious work as the number of grids increases. Our grid layout generation system allows users to easily and quickly obtain a favorite grid layout with just a few operations. We have implemented a collage image generating application using our grid layout generation system. Through several experimental evaluations utilizing our implemented application, we affirmed that our proposed grid layout generation system enables novice users to easily and quickly produce their desired grid layouts in less than 40 seconds. This proposed system is useful for not only Japanese but also foreigners. In addition, we believe that the fitness function based on the visual features is effective for the proposed system.
