Ikebana Support System considering Sense of Beauty

Abstract

This paper proposes an Ikebana support system considering sense of beauty. The system operates based on the framework of interactive evolutionary computation. If a design matches the aesthetic criteria, it is considered as a beautiful design. We also evaluate designs due to their novelty. A little change of the whole design affect its beauty. We considered the beauty features and applied them to the proposed system. It has sufficient number of kakis and kazais: the number of kaki is 21 and that of kazai is 298.
