abstract = "genetic programming for multi-class image recognition
problems. In this approach, the terminal set is
constructed with image pixel statistics, the function
set consists of arithmetic and conditional operators,
and the fitness function is based on classification
accuracy in the training set. Rather than using fixed
static thresholds as boundaries to distinguish between
different classes, this approach introduces two dynamic
methods of classification, namely centred dynamic range
selection and slotted dynamic range selection, based on
the returned value of an evolved genetic program where
the boundaries between different classes can be
dynamically determined during the evolutionary process.
The two dynamic methods are applied to five image
datasets of classification problems of increasing
difficulty and are compared with the commonly used
static range selection method. The results suggest
that, while the static boundary selection method works
well on relatively easy binary or tertiary image
classification problems with class labels arranged in
the natural order, the two dynamic range selection
methods outperform the static method for more
difficult, multiple class problems.",
