Application of Object-Based Metrics for Recognition of Well-Designed Dashboards
dashboard, metric-based evaluation, objectivity, aesthetics, subjective
perception
Measuring the characteristics of visually emphasized objects displayed on
a screen seems to be a promising way to rate user interface quality. On the other
hand, it brings us problems regarding the ambiguity of object recognition caused
by the subjective perception of the users. The goal of this research is to
analyze the applicability of chosen object-based metrics for the evaluation of
dashboard quality and the ability to distinguish well-design samples, with the
focus on the subjective perception of the users. This article presents the model
for the rating and classification of object-based metrics according to their
ability to objectively distinguish well-designed dashboards. We use the model to
rate 13 existing object-based metrics of aesthetics. Then, we present a new
approach for the improvement of the rating of one object-based metric - Balance.
We base the improvement on the combination of the object-based metric with the
pixel-based analysis of color distribution on the screen.
