abstract = "Detecting motions is an important aspect of machine
vision. However real world vision tasks often contain
interfering motion information which is not of
interest. To tackle this difficult task, we adapted
Genetic Programming into this domain. The GP-based
methodology presented in this paper does not require
the implementation of existing motion detection
algorithms. The evolved programs can detect genuine
moving objects such as cars and boats, while ignoring
background movements such as waving trees, rippling
water surface and even pedestrians. These programs
provide reliable performance under different lighting
conditions, either indoors and outdoors. Furthermore no
preprocessing of video input is required which is
usually mandatory in conventional vision approaches.",
