Abstract
SBArt4 is originally a breeding tool to produce abstract images and animations [1]. This paper describes a newly implemented functionality of automated evolution using some types of computational aesthetic measures as fitness criteria. Measures include information complexity, global contrast factor, histogram of color distribution, and so on. In addition to these measures for a still image, a method to evaluate the motion was introduced. They are useful to discard boring pieces but do not always fit with human user’s preference.
I introduced graphical user interface to allow the user to adjust the balance among different measures, and provided methods to let individuals migrate between a field for breeding and a population for evolution. It realized a wide range of intermediate production style between pure breeding and fully automated evolution.
Utilizing parallel processing, efficient algorithms, and synchronized sound effects, a new generative style of both live performance and fully automatic art became possible to be realized.
