Abstract

This paper gives an applicable genetic programming(GP) approach to solve the binary image analysis and gray scale image enhancement problems. By showing a section of binary image and the corresponding goal image, this algorithm automatically produces a mathematic morphological operation sequence to transform the target into the goal. While the operation sequence is applied to the whole image, the objective of image analysis is achieved. With well-defined chromosome structure and evolution strategy, the effectiveness of evolution is promoted and more complex morphological operations can be composed in a short sequence. In addition, this algorithm is also applied to infrared finger vein gray scale images to enhance the region of interest. Whose effect is examined by an application of identity authentication, and the accuracy of authentication is promoted.
