Abstract

Most previous approaches using genetic programming tosolve object detection tasks have evolved classifiers which are basically arithmetic expressions using pre-extracted local pixel statistics as terminals. The pixel statistics chosen are often highly general, meaning that the classifier cannot exploit useful aspects of the domain, or are too domain specific and overfit. This work presents a system whereby a feature construction stage is simultaneously coevolved along side the GP object detectors. Effectively, the system learns both stages of the visual process simultaneously. This work shows initial results of using this technique on both artificial and natual images and shows how it can quickly adapt to form general solutions to difficult scale and rotation invariant problems.
