Assessment of the influence of adaptive components in trainable surface inspection systems (2010)
Journal Article

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.

Creating diverse nearest-neighbour ensembles using simultaneous metaheuristic feature selection (2010)
Journal Article

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

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.

Human-machine interaction issues in quality control based on online image classification (2009)
Journal Article

This paper considers on a number of issues that arise when a trainable machine vision system learns directly from humans. We contrast this to the "normal" situation where machine learning (ML) techniques are applied to a "cleaned" data set which is c...

This paper considers on a number of issues that arise when a trainable machine vision system learns directly from humans. We contrast this to the ldquonormalrdquo situation where machine learning (ML) techniques are applied to a ldquocleanedrdquo dat...

Computer vision applications - Special issue (2007)
Journal Article

This peer-reviewed international journal paper arose from a research collaboration which formed part of the PhD of a colleague and builds on previous conferences works [proceedings of "Adaptative Computing in Design and Manufacturing" 2002, 2005, pro...

Parameter control in evolutionary algorithms (2007)
Journal Article

The issue of setting the values of various parameters of an evolutionary algorithm is crucial for good performance. In this paper we discuss how to do this, beginning with the issue of whether these values are best set in advance or are best changed... Read More about Parameter control in evolutionary algorithms.

On replacement strategies in steady state evolutionary algorithms (2007)
Journal Article

Steady State models of Evolutionary Algorithms are widely used, yet surprisingly little attention has been paid to the effects arising from different replacement strategies. This paper explores the use of mathematical models to characterise the selec... Read More about On replacement strategies in steady state evolutionary algorithms.

Coevolving memetic algorithms: A review and progress report (2007)
Journal Article

Coevolving memetic algorithms are a family of metaheuristic search algorithms in which a rule-based representation of local search (LS) is coadapted alongside candidate solutions within a hybrid evolutionary system. Simple versions of these systems h... Read More about Coevolving memetic algorithms: A review and progress report.

A tutorial for competent memetic algorithms: Model, taxonomy and design issues (2005)
Journal Article

The combination of evolutionary algorithms with local search was named "memetic algorithms" (MAs) (Moscato, 1989). These methods are inspired by models of natural systems that combine the evolutionary adaptation of a population with individual learni...
