PDF Study on Visibility of Sports Wear Design

【Supercategory:7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory:7.14 Vol.14

 The visibility and spatial frequency components of a design are discussed as visual features in sports wear design. The aim is to introduce objective visual features for planning designs in order to investigate the designs based on the visibility. First, the visually effective distances are mesured for design elements that have been subjectively evaluated.
 The visually effective distance captures how a design is perceived as a different design based on the visibility at a different viewing distance. Next, a low-pass filtered image of the sports wear design and the original image correspond with each other based on the measurement of the sports wear's identification distance.
 The spatial frequency components are one visual feature of sports wear design based on the visibility, which is expressed by the visually effective distance.
