Abstract
A compact formula for Logarithmic Curvature Histogram (LCH) and its gradient for planar curves have been
proposed. Using these entities and the analysis of Generalized Cornu Spiral (GCS), the mathematical definition
for a curve to be aesthetic has been introduced to overcome the ambiguity that occurs in measuring the beauty of
a curve. In the last section, detailed examples are shown on how LCH and its gradient represented as a straight
line equation can be used to measure the aesthetic value of planar curves.
