Abstract
AbstractThis paper proposes a computer-based design tool to automate art form generation used in jewelry design. Expert system and evolutionary algorithm are integrated into the prototype design tool named JAFG (Jewelry Art Form Generator). Art forms are represented using iterated function system (IFS) fractals. Case-based reasoning method and fuzzy logic are used for calculating case similarity to increase the efficiency of existing art forms retrieval. An evolutionary algorithm is used as a mechanism to generate new art forms. A rule-based reasoning with a forward chaining IF-THEN rule method is applied to estimate production cost. An automated model-making module integrated into the design system provides users with an option to manufacture jewelry prototypes using a computer numerical control (CNC) or a rapid prototyping (RP) machine. Examples are given to illustrate how JAFG operates.
