Automotive body styling appraisement is very important for body styling design. Because there is not tangible standard at the structure ascertaining of artificial neural network(ANN) and improvement of stability is needed for ANN inside black box characteristic, a bus-styling appraisement method using extension theory-based artificial neural network is presented. The key techniques of quasi-three-dimension bus-styling appraisement are investigated, including the idea and process of quasi-three-dimension bus-styling appraisement and the designing and training of extension theory-based artificial neural network model. Moreover, an expert software is developed to appraise bus styling. The effectiveness of the software is finally verified by a practical bus-styling task.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
