CEC 2006 - Special Session on Evolutionary Computer Vision

2007 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation

Swissotel The Stamford, Singapore, 25-28 September, 2007

Special Session on Evolutionary Computer Vision

Computer vision is a major unsolved problem in computer science and engineering. Over the last decade there has been increasing interest in using evolutionary computation approaches to solve vision problems. Computer vision provides a range of problems of varying difficulty for the development and testing of evolutionary algorithms.

The theme of the proposed special session is the use of evolutionary computation for solving computer vision and image processing problems. This special session seeks to highlight the latest developments in this research area by bringing together researchers and practitioners in both evolutionary computation and computer vision. Authors are invited to submit their original and unpublished work to this Special Session. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Genetic Algorithms for all aspects of computer vision and image processing, such as object detection, object classification, texture analysis, image segmentation, image feature selection/construction, and robot vision;
Genetic programming approaches to all aspects of computer vision and image processing;
particle swarm approaches to any aspect of computer vision and image processing;
Hybrid evolutionary-neural approaches to computer vision and image processing;
Hybrid evolutionary-fuzzy approaches to computer vision and image processing; and
Hybrid evolutionary-symbolic learning approaches to computer vision and image processing.
