Landscape Impressions Evoked by Color Distribution and Spatial Distribution of Gaze at Station Streets

Abstract

This paper deals with a quantitative evaluation of the color distribution at station streets and these effects on landscape impressions. The authors took videos during walking along the station streets, and these color distributions were quantified using the L^*a^*b^* color system. We also conducted an experiment in which participants watched these videos and then reported their subjective landscape impressions using the SD method. As a result, we identified that there are two types of impression factors, stimulus and spatiality, which are influenced by the chroma of the landscape and spatial distribution of gaze, respectively.
