Title
Extracting Contour Shape of Passenger Car Form in Front View Based on Form Similarity Judgement by Young Chinese Consumers.
Abstract
It explores how a reduced contour shape is extracted to reveal the underlying vital parts of passenger car form in front view based on young Chinese consumers’ form similarity judgement. Young Chinese consumers as subjects are invited to estimate the similarity of 130 form samples of triple-compartment passenger car form in front view from main brands in Chinese auto market, and 76 form samples are selected as representative ones by cluster analysis. By defining 20 character lines of form in front view and segmenting points on each character line, coordinate value data on all points are recorded and slope values of all 76 segments are calculated. Furthermore, factor analysis is completed and 15 common factors is extracted. The result shows that (1) the passenger car form in front view can be extracted and presented as a reduced but recognizable contour shape with about forty-one percent loss of information on the form in front view; and (2) the contour shape is mainly consisted of character lines defining such basic design parts as side windows, side doors, the upper boundary and the transitional edges of engine hood, the upper and the lower boundaries across Y0 section of grille, almost entire contour of fog light, most of the upper contour of headlight, and the entire contour of intake and almost entire skirt line of front bumper.
