Abstract

This chapter aims to figure out the difference of our impressions on curves that are used in form designs, and also to contribute industrial designers by implementing a smart computer aided design (CAD) system that has the same feeling on curves as human designers have. The proposing K-vector is a mathematical form of classifying such curves by designers’ impressions.
