Abstract
We describe a system that allows the generation of near-photographic quality images of faces, by random recombination of the principal components of faces. Users navigate the available face space through an evolutionary front-end. Each face is rated for likeness to the desired target and an underlying evolutionary algorithm uses these ratings to produce a new set of faces, through recombination and mutation of the underlying parameters. An initial version of the system, using faces of fixed shape, is shown to be successful in allowing users to produce a good likeness of a displayed target
