Abstract
In the styling design, a mathematical formulation of the macroscopic feature that emerges from the total of shape elements is important. However, the mathematical formulation of macroscopic feature is difficult using conventional microscopic shape information such as dimension and curvature. We examined the mathematical formulation of macroscopic feature "complexity." This paper describes the guideline for mathematical formulation of macroscopic feature in consideration of "circumstance" and "boundary," and the cognition experiment for the mathematical formulation of macroscopic feature "complexity."
