Dear Sukanta,
Why would you want to measure aesthetics (of objects, I assume —not
in general) at all ?
If it is to test the possible acceptance of a given artefact, there
are so many obvious biases (availability, social construction of
taste, semiotics etc.) that aesthetics (in the Kantian sense) play a
marginal role. At best, maybe analytical aesthetics could slightly
help (Danto et al., for recent references).
If it is for another purpose, you should first develop a definition
and figure out what can be measured, the benefits of measuring it,
and the things that might not be measured and their importance.
Regards,
Jean

I have one question to all of you:
1.?What is the method of standardization for?the
aesthetics of a product?
2. What are the factors, those influence that
decision?
3. What is the measurement Unit for
aesthetics of product?
