Effecting an improvement to the fitness function. How to evolve a more identifiable face. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Frowd, C., Park, J., McIntyre, A., Bruce, V., Pitchford, M., Fields, S., Kenirons, M., & Hancock, P. J. (2008, August). Effecting an improvement to the fitness function. How to evolve a more identifiable face. Presented at 2008 Bio-inspired, Learning and Intelligent Systems for Security

Constructing the face of a criminal from the selection of individual facial parts is a hard task. We have been working on a new system called EvoFIT that involves the selection and breeding of complete faces. The approach is theoretically better foun...
