potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. this paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on genetic algorithm (ga) optimization and morphological operators. the proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...

In this paper, a novel approach based on handling constraints as objectives together with a modified Parks & Miller elitist technique, to solve constrained multiobjective optimization problems, is analyzed with Niched Pareto Genetic Algorithm. The performance of this approach is compared with the classical procedure of handling constraints that is the exterior penalty function method. Results a...

This chapter describes a subarea of machine learning which is actively exploring the use of genetic algorithms as the key element in the design of robust learning strategies. After charac­ terizing the kinds of learning problems motivating this approach, a brief overview of genetic algorithms is presented. Three major approaches to using genetic algorithms for machine learn­ ing are described a...

in practice, obtaining the global optimum for the economic dispatch {bf (ed)}problem with ramp rate limits and prohibited operating zones is presents difficulties. this paper presents a new andefficient method for solving the economic dispatch problem with non-smooth cost functions using afuzzy adaptive genetic algorithm (faga). the proposed algorithm  deals  with the issue ofcontrolling the ex...
