通过2万组对比实验,找出影响3D物体审美的关键几何特征。

Modeling Aesthetic Preferences in 3D Shapes: A Large-Scale Paired Comparison Study Across Object Categories

  • 基于2.2万组人工对比数据,用统计模型推断审美评分。
  • 发现对称性、曲率等几何特征显著影响审美偏好。
  • 结果可解释,适合设计师参考,数据公开可复现。

人类对3D形状的审美偏好在工业设计、虚拟现实和消费品开发中至关重要。然而,现有计算模型大多缺乏大规模人类判断的实证基础,实用性受限。本文通过Amazon Mechanical Turk收集了跨五类物品(椅子、桌子、杯子、台灯、餐椅)的22,301组成对比较数据,基于先前发布的数据集~\cite{dev2020learning},引入非线性建模与跨类别分析,揭示几何特征对审美偏好的驱动机制。采用Bradley-Terry模型推断隐含审美得分,并利用随机森林与SHAP分析识别并解释最具影响力的几何特征(如对称性、曲率、紧凑性)。跨类别分析揭示了普遍性原则与领域特异性趋势。研究聚焦于可解释的几何特征,确保模型透明性与设计可操作性,避免依赖黑箱深度学习。成果连接计算美学与认知科学,为设计师提供实用指导,并发布公开数据集以支持可复现性。本工作通过以人为本、数据驱动的框架,推进了3D形状美学的理解。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Human aesthetic preferences for 3D shapes are central to industrial design, virtual reality, and consumer product development. However, most computational models of 3D aesthetics lack empirical grounding in large-scale human judgments, limiting their practical relevance. We present a large-scale study of human preferences. We collected 22,301 pairwise comparisons across five object categories (chairs, tables, mugs, lamps, and dining chairs) via Amazon Mechanical Turk. Building on a previously published dataset~\cite{dev2020learning}, we introduce new non-linear modeling and cross-category analysis to uncover the geometric drivers of aesthetic preference. We apply the Bradley-Terry model to infer latent aesthetic scores and use Random Forests with SHAP analysis to identify and interpret the most influential geometric features (e.g., symmetry, curvature, compactness). Our cross-category analysis reveals both universal principles and domain-specific trends in aesthetic preferences. We focus on human interpretable geometric features to ensure model transparency and actionable design insights, rather than relying on black-box deep learning approaches. Our findings bridge computational aesthetics and cognitive science, providing practical guidance for designers and a publicly available dataset to support reproducibility. This work advances the understanding of 3D shape aesthetics through a human-centric, data-driven framework.
