Genetic Programming for Extracting Edge Features Using Two Blocks

Fu, W., Zhang, M. and Johnston, M.

    In low-level edge detection, single pixels have been popularly used to extract edge features. However, the extracted edge features might not have good abil- ity to effectively mark edge points on images with noise or/and textures. Single pixels can be extracted based on a local window. To automatically search pix- els to extract edge features using Genetic Program- ming, search operators based on single pixels and sin- gle blocks of pixels have been proposed. Single blocks of pixels can be used to improve detection perfor- mance on natural images, but the computational cost is high. In this paper, to reduce the computational cost of using blocks of pixels, a new search opera- tor based on two blocks of pixels is proposed. The experiment results show that the proposed search op- erator can effectively reduce computational cost on evolved edge detectors, remaining good detection per- formance.
