Structural pattern recognition using genetic algorithms

摘要

This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) based optimization procedure for the solution of structural pattern recognition problem using the attributed relational graph representation and matching technique. In this study, candidate solutions are represented by integer strings and the population is randomly initialized. The GA is employed to generate a monomorphic mapping. As all the mapping constraints are not enforced during the search phase in order to speedup the search, an efficient pose clustering algorithm is used to eliminate spurious matches and to determine the presence of the model in the scene. The performance of the proposed approach to pattern recognition by subgraph isomorphism is demonstrated using line patterns and silhouette images.
