Abstract
We propose the method of clarifying the relation between the shape feature of the image and man's sense by the multiple regression analysis. The peripheral feature is used as the shape feature and man's sense is expressed by a subjective evaluation value defined by dissimilarity degree of fealing when man sees two binary images. When the multiple regression analysis is done using the explanatory variable in a difference of the peripheral feature of two images and the objective variable as a subjective evaluation value, the feature which has a great influence on the subjective evaluation value turns out by the partial regression coefficient. The experiment that the proposed method is applied to 30 butterfly images showed the result that man sees a horizontal side of butterfly's wing when man judges the difference of two butterfly images.
