Self-adaptation of mutation operator and probability for permutation representations in genetic algorithms (2010)
Journal Article
Serpell, M., & Smith, J. (2010). Self-adaptation of mutation operator and probability for permutation representations in genetic algorithms. Evolutionary Computation, 18(3), 491-514. https://doi.org/10.1162/EVCO_a_00006

The choice of mutation rate is a vital factor in the success of any genetic algorithm (GA), and for permutation representations this is compounded by the availability of several alternative mutation operators. It is now well understood that there is... Read More about Self-adaptation of mutation operator and probability for permutation representations in genetic algorithms.

Assessment of the influence of adaptive components in trainable surface inspection systems (2010)
Journal Article
Van Brussel, H., Eitzinger, C., Heidl, W., Lughofer, E., Raiser, S., Smith, J., …Sannen, D. (2010). Assessment of the influence of adaptive components in trainable surface inspection systems. Machine Vision and Applications, 21(5), 613-626. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00138-009-0211-1

In this paper, we present a framework for the classification of images in surface inspection tasks and address several key aspects of the processing chain from the original image to the final classification result. A major contribution of this paper... Read More about Assessment of the influence of adaptive components in trainable surface inspection systems.

Impact of object extraction methods on classification performance in surface inspection systems (2010)
Journal Article
Raiser, S., Lughofer, E., Eitzinger, C., & Smith, J. (2010). Impact of object extraction methods on classification performance in surface inspection systems. Machine Vision and Applications, 21(5), 627-641. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00138-009-0205-z

In surface inspection applications, the main goal is to detect all areas which might contain defects or unacceptable imperfections, and to classify either every single 'suspicious' region or the investigated part as a whole. After an image is acquire... Read More about Impact of object extraction methods on classification performance in surface inspection systems.

Creating diverse nearest-neighbour ensembles using simultaneous metaheuristic feature selection (2010)
Journal Article
Tahir, M. A., & Smith, J. (2010). Creating diverse nearest-neighbour ensembles using simultaneous metaheuristic feature selection. Pattern Recognition Letters, 31(11), 1470-1480. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.patrec.2010.01.030

The nearest-neighbour (1NN) classifier has long been used in pattern recognition, exploratory data analysis, and data mining problems. A vital consideration in obtaining good results with this technique is the choice of distance function, and corresp...

User-centric image segmentation using an interactive parameter adaptation tool (2010)
Journal Article
Pauplin, O., Caleb-Solly, P., & Smith, J. (2010). User-centric image segmentation using an interactive parameter adaptation tool. Pattern Recognition, 43(2), 519-529. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.patcog.2009.03.007

Creating successful machine vision systems often begins a process of developing customised reliable image segmentation algorithms for the detection, and possibly categorisation of regions of interest within images. This can require significant invest... Read More about User-centric image segmentation using an interactive parameter adaptation tool.
