abstract = "The development of traditional object detection
systems usually involves a time consuming investigation
of good preprocessing and filtering methods and a
hand-crafting of different programs for the extraction
and selection of important image features in different
problem domains. To avoid these problems, this thesis
describes a domain independent approach to multiple
class, translation and rotation invariant object
detection problems without any preprocessing,
segmentation and specific feature extraction. The
approach is based on learning/adaptive methods --
neural networks, genetic algorithms and genetic
programming. Rather than using...
