“…Segmentation remains a bottleneck, hindering the full automation of computational aesthetic assessments [38]. Some more automated approaches involve using web crawlers to directly read a webpage's HTML source code [32] or browser extensions to support webpage segmentation methods' inspection and analysis [39]. However, when evaluating interfaces during the design process or when interfaces are presented in different formats (e.g., low-fidelity drawings or interfaces involving some confidential systems), segmentation and recognition become barriers to rapid evaluation [40].…”

Aesthetic evaluation of increasingly complex and personalized human–computer interaction interfaces serves as a critical bridge between humans and machines, fundamentally enhancing various interaction factors. This study addresses the challenges in aesthetic evaluation by adjusting existing methodologies to incorporate seven aesthetic metrics: density, symmetry, balance, proportionality, uniformity, simplicity, and sequence. These metrics were effectively integrated into a composite evaluation metric through both multiple regression analysis and entropy methods, with the efficacy of both fitting methods validated. Leveraging automatic segmentation and recognition technology for interface screenshots, this research enables rapid, automated acquisition of evaluations for the seven metrics and the composite index, leading to the development of a prototype system for interface layout aesthetic assessment. Aimed at reducing the time, manpower, and resources required for interface evaluation, this study enhances the universality, compatibility, and flexibility of layout assessments. It promotes integration at any stage of the design process, significantly benefiting lightweight rapid evaluation and iterative design cycles, thereby advancing the field of interface aesthetic evaluation.
