Research on the Theoretical Connotation and Practical Path of Aesthetics of Daily Human Life in the Background of Internet

Abstract As the living standard of the people in China has changed drastically, the aesthetic quality of daily life has been increasing day by day, and people’s desire for a better life is also increasing. This paper proposes a color harmony model based on hue statistical features, using maximum likelihood estimation to extract the main hue region and extract related features from the corresponding region. Based on the inconsistencies in feature dimensions, a model is created to evaluate color harmony using Gaussian mixture training and is employed for image aesthetics evaluation. Finally, regression is employed to analyze the factors that influence life aesthetics evaluation, and the model is tested and analyzed using linear diagnosis and residual analysis. The results show that the influence index affecting the evaluation of daily life aesthetics is judgment beauty, and its influence coefficient is 4.4323. The product of image entropy and image gradient is used as the connotation of judging the aesthetics of daily human life, which is consistent with the evaluation of human aesthetic judgment. The theoretical connotations of life aesthetics are clarified and enhanced in this paper, and it develops its thinking to construct the reality of the good life.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Combining Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality in Children’s Pharmaceutical Packaging Designs

Abstract The rapid development of virtual reality and augmented reality technology has brought significant changes to many industries in modern society. In the field of product packaging design, the use of virtual reality and augmented reality technology in product packaging design is becoming more common in the field. Researchers are exploring the use of VR and AR technology in children’s drug packaging, employing augmented reality research that leverages natural features and artificial recognition to construct a model of children’s drug packaging that incorporates VR and AR technology. We analyze the impact of VR+AR on children’s drug packaging. Consumers’ main requirements for children’s drug packaging are bright, strong, practical, fun, novelty, and ease of understanding. The paper’s model, sample Z, ranks 5th in market competitiveness and 1st in technical competitiveness, outperforming competitors A, B, C, and D. This suggests that VR+AR children’s drug packaging still needs improvement in market competitiveness despite its high technical content. In descending order, the design evaluation dimensions score the VR+AR children’s drug packaging as follows: vivid picture (3.193)> texture (3.154) > easy to hold (3.142) > Moderate capacity (3.129) > simple and generous (3.105) > conform to the production process (3.047) > harmonious color (3.044) > convenient for transportation (3.028) > low production cost (3.012). The average score for each dimension of the VR+AR children’s drug packaging experience is approximately 4.46 points.

A Quantitative Exploration of the Consistency of Visual Rhythms and Social Values in Oil Painting Art

Abstract In the process of oil painting creation, creators present their ideology to the audience through diversified ways of expression so as to produce spiritual resonance with the audience. In this paper, the consistency of social and artistic values of color in oil painting art is studied from three aspects: color attributes, visual rhythm, and color psychological effects. Combined with the HSV color model, the relationship between hue, saturation, and brightness values, which in turn describes color harmony and aesthetics, is used to assess the artistic and social value of oil painting art. Finally, by taking oil paintings of the Literary Review Period style and Classical style as samples, the social and artistic value consistency of oil paintings can be analyzed through color. The results of the study show that when the value of the color attributes of Rembrandt’s oil paintings in the Literary Review Period reaches 240, the saturation value rises sharply, and the hue value likewise falls sharply, forming a strong color focus, making the paintings more toned down and fresh, and alluding to the spirit of resistance that the creator wants to express. The social attributes of purity and solemnity are created when color characteristics are purified, and saturation is smoothed in classical-style oil paintings.

Особливості вивчення колірної гами та колірної тональності зі студентами мистецьких ЗВО

The article is devoted to the actual problem of training specialists in fine and decorative arts, in particular, the study of painting and color science by students of higher primary institutions. The author examines such basic concepts of visual literacy as color gamut, color tonality and the peculiarities of their study by future artists. It was found that the problem of studying the characteristics of color by students of art universities is not sufficiently presented in modern science. However, in teaching painting and color science, it is important to form a holistic perception of color in students, to understand tone, the shape of objects through color, the ability to create color harmonies, mastering the plane of the work, and the ability of students to convey their ideas to the viewer by means of color. It is emphasized that in painting classes, students of art universities get acquainted with the basic concepts of color science – color gamut and color tonality – from the very first classes. Various characteristics of color, common and different in the concepts of “color gamut” and “color tonality” have been studied. Examples of practical tasks are given that contribute to the best possible study of the color gamut and color tonality by future artists. It is emphasized that the color scale and color tonality are one of the main tools for creating an image in artistic works and are used by artists depending on the author's intention. It is emphasized that the variety of color gamuts and tonalities in painting depends on the saturation, lightness, lighting of objects, arrangement of colors in the composition, etc. It was found that solving the issues of color contrast, the harmonious system of color series, the ratio of colors in color gamuts, and color tonality by students of art universities will help in the future in practice to use the acquired knowledge for the high-quality performance of one’s own artistic works.

Refining Color Scheme Generation: Iterative K-Means Clustering and ARI Evaluation

Color goes beyond mere visual sensation, holding profound sway over emotions, thoughts, and perceptions. It communicates, evokes moods, and significantly influences judgments. Research underscores its importance, with up to 90% of product assessments being based solely on color, highlighting its pivotal role in crafting memorable experiences and defining brand identities. The fusion of art and technology presents a captivating synergy within the realm of image-derived color schemes. Color palette generation from images is pivotal in graphic design, interior decoration, and digital media. This study delves into methodologies for extracting dominant colors from images and generating cohesive color schemes. Leveraging K-Means clustering with the Within-Cluster Sum of Squares (WCSS) method, we showcase superior performance compared to traditional approaches. The evaluation of palette coherence using the Adjusted Rand Index (ARI) facilitates consistency within the generated color schemes. Integrating methodologies with design tools and advanced color harmonies opens avenues for further innovation and customization. This study underscores the transformative potential of image-based color scheme generation, bridging the gap between computational analysis and creative expression. Through the convergence of artistry and technological prowess, we aim to enhance the design landscape and enrich user experiences across various applications and industries.

Abstract Art and design, as a professional field closely linked with market demand, is imperative to reform the teaching mode. In this paper, the concept of constructivism is incorporated into the professional education of art design, and a new teaching framework is established through the guidance of teaching concepts. Secondly, the RGB color model is applied in the teaching of color design, and the beauty of the color scheme is calculated through the Berkhof equation in color harmony so as to improve the color-matching ability of students’ art design. Big data analysis is used to evaluate the students’ design works comprehensively. Finally, taking College H as an example, the effectiveness of computer-aided teaching in graphic arts design is analyzed, and the impact of the method on the employment of graduates is verified. The results show that in the experimental group using computer-assisted teaching and the control group of traditional teaching mode, the average grade difference is 17.91 points, Sig=0.003. The difference is significant, which indicates that computer-assisted teaching significantly improves the students’ art design professional ability. This innovative model has a significant impact on the enhancement of art design majors in colleges and universities and provides a practical path for innovative artistic design teaching.

The Effectiveness Of Combination Vitamin D With Phototherapy For Vitiligo Treatment

Vitiligo represents a pigmentary skin disorder that impacts the layers of the skin, characterized by the absence of pigmentary cells in the epidermis, which causes the body to develop white patches and macules. However, additional research is necessary to comprehensively grasp the mechanisms that can be obtained using vitamin D with phototherapy for vitiligo treatment. Current evidence indicates that vitamin D substantially influences keratinocytes and melanocytes' activities through various mechanisms. Therefore, this literature review was organized to assess the effectiveness of combining vitamin D with phototherapy for vitiligo treatment. A search was conducted across four electronic journal databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, Taylor & Francis, and ScienceDirect. Inclusion criteria involved studies with vitiligo respondents, explaining the effectiveness of combining vitamin D with phototherapy for vitiligo treatment and detailing the benefits or harms of using this combination in vitiligo patients. Only five studies met the specified criteria and are consequently considered deserving of further assessment. The combination of phototherapy and vitamin D is postulated to manage vitiligo effectively. Phototherapy enhances repigmentation, ensuring a harmonious color reconciliation with the innate skin tone. Simultaneously, Vitamin D assumes a pivotal role in modulating the activity of keratinocytes and melanocytes, operating through diverse mechanisms. Based on this article review, it can be concluded that phototherapy with vitamin D is more effective in treating vitiligo than phototherapy only.

THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE OF INCLUSIVE HARMONIZATION OF THE INTERIOR SPACE OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS

This study examines the theoretical and practical experience of inclusive harmonization of the internal space of public buildings. In the process of identifying the features of internal space harmonization, a number of key aspects of the importance of color contrast were determined (definition of contours and shapes, orientation and navigation, identification of objects, security). It has been analyzed and determined that color contrast improves accessibility and perception of the environment for visually impaired people, making information more accessible and enabling more effective interaction with the surrounding world. The authors analyzed the practical experience of designing the interior space of public buildings and identified their features. 
 The research method revealed that taking into account the psychophysiological characteristics of users is a key element in the process of choosing a color palette. Designing inclusive spaces requires careful study and understanding of the needs of people with different physical and mental characteristics. Shades of color can affect our emotional state and physical well-being, so it is important to create spaces that support diversity and take into account the needs of all users.
 The work highlights issues of ergonomics and safety in the context of color harmonization. It is important not only to create an aesthetically pleasing space, but also to ensure its safety and convenience for everyone. Color solutions can be used to mark traffic paths, highlight dangerous zones, and also to improve readability and recognition of objects in space.
 On the basis of the work carried out, it was determined that the research and further identification of inclusive methods of color harmonization of the interior space of public buildings with the definition of clear parameters of contrast becomes an actual direction of the development of this work. Understanding the importance of inclusive color harmony is the key to building a modern society that respects and supports all its members.

A virtual restoration network of ancient murals via global–local feature extraction and structural information guidance

Ancient murals are precious cultural heritages. They suffer from various damages due to man-made destruction and long-time exposure to the environment. It is urgent to protect and restore the damaged ancient murals. Virtual restoration of ancient murals aims to fill damaged mural regions by using modern computer techniques. Most existing restoration approaches fail to fill the loss mural regions with rich details and complex structures. In this paper, we propose a virtual restoration network of ancient murals based on global–local feature extraction and structural information guidance (GLSI). The proposed network consists of two major sub-networks: the structural information generator (SIG) and the image content generator (ICG). In the first sub-network, SIG can predict the structural information and the coarse contents for the missing mural regions. In the second sub-network, ICG utilizes the predicted structural information and the coarse contents to generate the refined image contents for the missing mural regions. Moreover, we design an innovative BranchBlock module that can effectively extract and integrate the local and global features. We introduce a Fast Fourier Convolution (FFC) to improve the color restoration for the missing mural regions. We conduct experiments over simulated and real damaged murals. Experimental results show that our proposed method outperforms other three comparative state-of-the-art approaches in terms of structural continuity, color harmony and visual rationality of the restored mural images. In addition, the mural restoration results of our method can achieve comparatively high quantitative evaluation metrics.

Consumer Responses to Elements of Visual Esthetics on a Brand’s Instagram Page

The current study investigates the influence of visual complexity and color harmony, two important aspects of visual esthetics in the online context, on customer engagement and word-of-mouth (WOM) transmission. We further examine whether consumer expectations and self-concept congruence operate as critical boundary conditions for the effect of these esthetic factors. The study uses an experimental design in which 402 respondents viewed researcher manipulated Instagram brand pages with varying levels of visual complexity and color combinations. The results show that independently, high levels of visual complexity, and complementary color combinations evoked greater consumer engagement and positive WOM intentions. Engagement levels declined when analogous color combinations were used on Instagram pages with high visual complexity and complementary colors on low visual complexity pages. Additionally, consumer engagement mediated the relationship between the visual esthetic elements and WOM transmission. Consumer expectations emerged as an important moderator of the effect of visual complexity on engagement but our prediction regarding the moderating effect of self-concept congruence was not supported. The results of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the underlying process by which visual esthetic elements on image-centric platforms, like Instagram, interact to influence customer engagement and WOM.

Harmonious colouring of line graph of commuting and non-commuting graph of D_{2n}

Harmonious coloring of graph \(G\) is a proper vertex coloring, where each pair of colors occurs at most on one pair of adjacent vertices. Minimum number of colors required for Harmonious coloring of \(G\) is the harmonious chromatic number, \(\chi_{H}(G)\). Here we determine the Harmonious chromatic number of the line graph of commuting graph and non-commuting graph of the dihedral group, \(D_{2n}\).

МОДЕЛИРОВАНИЕ УРБАНИСТИЧЕСКОГО ПРОСТРАНСТВА ПУТЕМ ДИЗАЙН-КОДА ЦВЕТА

The article is devoted to the methodology of modeling in the design of the urban environment based on the identification of the uniqueness and identity of the territory. Rules and changes in the design code of the city, unnoticeable at first glance, contribute to the creation of a comfortable, harmonious urban environment. This article contains information about artistic and professional skills that form the idea of color harmony, the influence of color on the psychophysiological state of a person as one of the key tools for creating a balanced environment, as well as harmony, territoriality and environmental friendliness. For the administrative center of the Belgorod region – Belgorod, modeling the issue of the design code of urban space should be based on three basic principles: harmony, territoriality and environmental friendliness. The correct design of the design code includes several directions: color solutions of facades (the main color scheme of buildings is brown-beige. The color was not chosen by chance because it has a symbolic meaning in this context), the decoration of the first floors, the placement of signage, colors-lighting of buildings, festive decoration of buildings, as well as the formation of a unique architectural and landscape environment. The opportunity to use landscaping and features of the natural landscape, as well as local natural materials for construction will emphasize the naturalness of the coloristic solution returns material colors to the palette of the designer and architect. The formation of the design code of the urban environment through the semiotization of color provides for the formulation of research tasks, which consist in the analysis of modern urban planning theory and practice in order to improve the urban environment at the regional level

Generating Harmonious Colors through the Combination of n-Grams and K-means

Among the many approaches to studying color harmony tried so far, a relatively recent method is to leverage a large number of human-created and ranked color palettes, such as those hosted at colourlovers.com. Analysis of these large datasets could provide insights into the nature of color harmony but is usually overwhelming because of the sheer number of slightly differing colors. It is possible to quantize the colors in these color palettes to a manageable set of discrete colors without significantly affecting the harmony perception of the palette. Considering the quantized colors as words and the palettes as sentences, it is possible to form and compute the probabilities of n-Grams in the sentences. In this study, we create bigrams and trigrams from the corpus of highly ranked color palettes and use them to predict new color combinations. Respondents were asked to like or dislike the patterns colored with these color combinations. It was found that the new color combinations thus formed were almost as harmonious and pleasing as the originals.

Fuel cell electric vehicles equipped with energy storage system for energy management: A hybrid JS-RSA approach

Energy management strategy (EMS) is crucial in the growth of fuel cell (FC) electric vehicles (EVs) with different energy storage systems (ESS). This manuscript proposes a hybrid technique for the energy management (EM) of a battery-based FC electric vehicle (FCEV) system. The proposed hybrid method is a combination of a jellyfish search optimizer (JSO) and a Reptile Search Algorithm (RSA). Hence, known as the JSO-RSA method. The main objective of the proposed method is the operational mode control, state machine control, dynamic power factor, and equivalent consumption minimization. The novelty of the paper is charging battery with the least amount of hydrogen per joule. The proposed method is done in MATLAB and is examined their performance with existing methods, like Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA), Seagull Optimization Algorithm (SOA), and Color Harmony Algorithm (CHA). The proposed method shows a high efficiency of 90.2 % and a low operating cost of 568 $ compared with other existing methods.

Coloration Parsing and Transfer Design of Han Folk Costumes

Traditional Costume Color has significant value of transmission and regeneration in contemporary design. In this article, we propose an automatic color parsing and transfer design system that assists designers to realize the creative design of the pattern color matching based on different traditional costume images and recommend sequence color schemes. The design system includes three modules: color extraction, automatic coloration, and color matching evaluation module. The adaptive bipartite k -means clustering algorithm is utilized to extract colors of each sample costume, while the genetic algorithm is applied to generate the optimal color matching scheme, and designers can participate in the design to obtain a satisfied scheme. The evaluation model combines the aesthetic measurement formula and the aesthetic measure of color harmony to evaluate the coloration quality. In the experiment, Jiangnan Han folk costumes are chosen as typical source samples to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Results show that different number of extracted colors and patterns can efficiently realize automatic coloration and can provide auxiliary decision-making for pattern color design in the fashion industry.

Perception of Color in Architecture and Urban Space

The various colors and color combinations in an urban environment are perceived and experienced individually. The article indicates the important role of color in shaping architecture and urban space. The paper discusses the theories of color harmony as an aesthetic principle in architectural design. The results of the research have proven the significant role of color as an element of the composition of urban space affecting the observer. This translates into the importance of color in architectural design, taking into account the difficulty and ambiguity in predicting color aesthetics; the impact of color on humans; and its cognitive, emotional and behavioral effects. The information and conclusions obtained as a result of the literature studies and the results of the survey gave the basis for determining various color strategies in shaping architecture and the effects that we can achieve in urban space thanks to a well-thought-out, conscious use of colors. The research findings also indicate that it is necessary to supplement architectural education programs with broadly understood knowledge about color and its impact on humans. The implemented activities are a response to current ideas and directions in designing and teaching architectural design outlined and suggested as part of the New European Bauhaus initiative.

Changes in the use of color in Japanese cities

AbstractThis study examines how the use of color in the Japanese urban landscape has changed over time and what the future holds. The colors of contemporary Japanese cities are not beautiful, but it is said that they were harmonious and beautiful in the Edo period (1603–1868). In the 1850s, as the country opened up to the outside world, Western‐style architecture was introduced and emerged side by side with Japanese architecture. As economic growth took precedence in the 20th century, there was a lack of awareness of the city's public ownership and the appearance of buildings. The attempt to achieve industrial standards and rapid urbanization were also cited as reasons for the absence of harmony in the built environment. Additionally, many outdoor advertisements appeared. The lack of effective regulations on outdoor advertising is one factor that has heavily affected the contemporary Japanese cityscape. The “Landscape Act,” which went into effect in 2004, aims to regulate landscape color use in present‐day Japan. This law allows local governments to enact regulations for urban landscape color use primarily by setting the upper limit for color saturation in terms of Munsell Chroma. It is questionable whether this will really lead to the creation of more unique cityscapes. Training in color in architecture, urban objects, and infrastructure should be compulsory as part of civic education, and more time should be devoted to the subject of color in architects' educational programs to create beautiful cities in the future. Students of architecture need time to think about the idea that the exterior of a building is part of the urban landscape, to consider the importance of color, and to study color harmony.

Color Identity of Jaya Fried Chicken (JFC) Franchise Brand

The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of design concepts into color identity, analyze color identity visualization into visual communication media, and formulate suggestions for harmonious color combinations. This study used descriptive qualitative method. Color identity is described in full according to the scope of the study. The description results were analyzed using qualitative methods with Roland Barthes' semiotic theory and Surianto Rustan's color theory. The function of semiotic theory is to analyze the relationship between color identity, design concepts, and business principles. Color theory is used to analyze the visualization of color identity into visual communication media and formulate harmonious color combinations. Data were collected by using observation, documentation, and library techniques. Observations and documentation were carried out by visiting the outlets on Jl. Raya Sakah, Batuan, Sukawati. Documentation includes photos of name signs and packaging. The literature is obtained through books, website, articles, and journals. The results of the study reveal that the color identity of the JFC franchise is in accordance with the Nawa Sanggha concept, namely black, gray, white, and red. Color combinations are able to interpret business principles. Visualization of color identity uses different color portions in its visual communication media. The color portion applies a combination of red, black, and white. Gray color is decorative. The combination of harmonious color portions can follow the value contrast scheme. The combination of red and gray as a sub-ordinate while black and white as an accent or dominant.

Romantic Characteristics of Harmony in the Chamber and Vocal Works of Viktor Kosenkо on the Poems of Symbolist Poets

The vocal and chamber work of the outstanding Ukrainian composer of the 20th century Viktor Kosenko is a reflection of the lyrical musical and poetic features of his artistic world. For the author, this is a field of constant search for new means of musical expression and at the same time a solid base for mastering the traditions of past and present creative achievements. That is why romances occupy an important place in the composer's work.
 Romantic lyrics dominated his work until the end of the 1920s, but still Viktor Kosenko's romances have not lost their relevance. The music complements the experience of the modern listener with numerous allusions to the romantic era. It sometimes resemblessty listic fusion sof elements of the music allanguage of composers of the past – S. Rachmaninov, P. Tchaikovsky, O. Scriabin, impresses with a palette of harmonious colors of late romanticism, impressionism, which shows the directions of the composer's musical and aesthetic preferences, especially in harmony. It is this important aspect that remains the least studied in musicology, therefore the study of harmonic phenomena in Vіktor Kosenko's chamber and vocal lyrics has all the signs of relevance.

Emotion assessment and application in human–computer interaction interface based on backpropagation neural network and artificial bee colony algorithm

Emotion assessment is a challenging task in the human–computer interaction interface. Previous studies have examined the relationship between emotion and color, but they fail to accurately analyze emotional semantics due to the numerous elements in human–computer interaction interfaces. As a result, a combination model of a backpropagation neural network (BPNN) and an artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) was presented in this paper to predict the emotion semantics of the human–computer interaction interface. The mechanism of generating the weights and thresholds for each layer of BPNN was converted to the search for an optimal honey source. Meanwhile, according to experiment results and evaluation of elements in human–computer interaction interfaces, this paper has assessed the relationships amongst the eight key elements (ratio of graphics to text, color difference, color distribution, color harmony, theme style, white space ratio, frame style, number of colors) and emotion word pairs (moderation-fancy, calm-pleasure, confusing-clear, cold-kind, coarse-elegant). Furthermore, an emotion application database was established to determine how the amalgamation of critical elements affects the users’ feelings about the human–computer interaction interface to help designers build a user-centric interface. Finally, the database can be applied to relieve mental health problems by meeting the psychological expectations of users as mental healthcare intervention during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, it can help designers to design a pleasurable visual interaction interface for a particular element to convey health-related information and protective measures.
