Abstract
The combination of a classifier system with an evolutionary image generation engine is explored. The framework is com- posed of an object detector and a general purpose, expression- based, genetic programming engine. Several object detec- tors are instantiated to detect faces, lips, breasts and leaves. The experimental results show the ability of the system to evolve images that are classified as the corresponding objects. A subjective analysis also reveals the unexpected nature and artistic potential of the evolved images.
