Abstract
Over the recent years, consumer demands are growing increasingly stronger not only for sophisticated functions but also sophisticated designs in industrial products. For this reason, free-form surfaces are increasingly used in the drawing of the shapes of industrial products to improve product design, making the designer's role increasingly important. Though conventional CAD systems boast high performance as shape representation and description tools after deciding the shape, they lack the capability of expressing the designer's aesthetic taste and sense. The development of a CAD system with sophisticated form design functions is therefore required. The purpose of this research is to develop a form design CAD system for car design, which can automatically generate basic car-body-shapes with the character lines from the product image by relating the image with the language (called KANSEI language in this research) based on the requests specified in questionnaire sheets

Construction of Basic Shape with Character Lines for Car Body Design by Image Language (Kansei Language).
Over the recent years, consumer demands are growing increasingly stronger not only for sophisticated functions but also sophisticated designs in industrial products. For this reason, free-form surfaces are increasingly used in the drawing of the shapes of industrial products to improve product design, making the designer's role increasingly important. Though conventional CAD systems boast high performance as shape representation and description tools after deciding the shape, they lack the capability of expressing the designer's aesthetic taste and sense. The development of a CAD system with sophisticated form design functions is therefore required. The purpose of this research is to develop a form design CAD system for car design, which can automatically generate basic car-body-shapes with the character lines from the product image by relating the image with the language (called KANSEI language in this research) based on the requests specified in questionnaire sheets
